I'd see:

- or "If I can... my day will be..."

Wouldn't it be better to write...

Re: Dawn French Fan Club 3
A math student and a computer science student are jogging together in a park when they hear a voice:
“Please, help me!”
They stop and look. The voice belongs to a frog sitting in the grass.
“Please, help me!” the frog repeats. “I’m not really a frog: I’m an enchanted, beautiful princess. Kiss me, and the spell will be broken – and I will be yours forever…”
The computer science student picks up the frog and examines it carefully from all sides – making not even an attempt to kiss it.
“You don’t have to marry me”, the frog continues frantically, “if you’re afraid of the commitment. I’ll do whatever you wish me to do if you just kiss me…”
The frog’s voice is silenced, when the student puts the animal into the right pocket of his pants.
“But why don’t you kiss her?!” the math student asks.
“You know”, the CS student replies, “I simply don’t have time for a girlfriend – but a frog that talks makes a really cool pet…”

Re: Dawn French Fan Club 3
A husband and wife had been married for 60 years and had no secrets except for one: The woman kept in her closet a shoe box that she forbade her husband from ever opening. But when she was on her deathbed—and with her blessing—he opened the box and found a crocheted doll and £95,000 in cash.
“My mother told me that the secret to a happy marriage was to never argue,” she explained. “Instead, I should keep quiet and crochet a doll.”
Her husband was touched. Only one doll was in the box—that meant she’d been angry with him only once in 60 years. “But what about all this money?” he asked.
“Oh,” she said, “that’s the money I made from selling the dolls.”

Yes Muriel.MurielB a écrit:Tx for this new word Gérard=>bouncy castle : Un château gonflable.
We already met "to bounce"... so English people think more of the functionality of the castle after it was inflated while the French think more of the possibility to inflate it (and apparently care less about the result).

Re: Dawn French Fan Club 3
Thanks Gérard for clarifying. It is true that the English language is full of imagery, while the French one is not.

Re: Dawn French Fan Club 3
I'm sure my husband loves me. He has got into my car so many times for more than 40 years !

Re: Dawn French Fan Club 3
The question is: does he pray when he is in your car?

No, he doesn't, he just holds the seat very tightly and his face is very pale !

Re: Dawn French Fan Club 3
Of course our ancestors had tails and we can see traces of tails in embryos still in the wombs. This is one proof of it and the phone ancestors is a second proof

Re: Dawn French Fan Club 3
Harry was sick and tired of being constantly badgered by his wife Barbara for spending so much time at the bar.
Hoping it would help matters, Harry invited Barbara along with him. “So what would you like?” Harry cordially asked, as she took her seat next to him.
“Oh I don’t know” Barbara replied, “I guess I’ll take the same thing as you.”
“OK” said Harry to the bartender, “we’ll take two Johnny Walker’s on the rocks!” Barbara barely took a sip of the drink before she started gagging “Oh my gosh! Get me a cup of water! This stuff is horrible! How do you drink this garbage?”
“See?” said Harry “and you think I come here just to have a good time?!“
