When they're not wearing their Teletubby dress.<br /><br />Thanks Ron - another great introduction to a magazine that I will never read. I had a look at their webpage and the articles sounded like they had been published 8-10 years ago - especially the one on "The war wages between capsule and cork"... Just pop the bloody thing and don't worry if you have that amount of money! No, actually, pop 36 and take a bath with your favorite (Tele-)tubby in your tub - capsule or cork, it doesn't matter.<br /><br />DavidDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159097736413919697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-65436121571556196972015-07-07T16:48:28.217-07:002015-07-07T16:48:28.217-07:00Not meaning to quibble, but "bread" in F...Not meaning to quibble, but "bread" in French is "pain", which breads in France definitely are not. Recent trip to Paris found the range of bread to be even wider than here in San Francisco where good bread is mandatory. And the cheeses, yes we have good cheeses here, even French-bred cheeses, but there was something magical about a fresh-baked seeded baguette and ripe, tasty cheese.Charlie Olkenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02513782687786106137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-62671035753660662532015-07-07T13:24:06.906-07:002015-07-07T13:24:06.906-07:00Le Pan means "the bread" in French.

Having six is like having your own set of wine Teletubbies! I just hope your owner is willing to sell.<br /><br />Thanks for being a common tater, MW.Ron Washam, HMWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238869156614617705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-33491911630110238412015-07-07T02:20:53.322-07:002015-07-07T02:20:53.322-07:00Wonderful, as ever.

I'm an MW and I'm not on their pay roll.I can be bought though and I'll even pretend to like polo. Also the free samples I get tend to come from supermarkets and cost less than €10. Clearly I have no life or style, which is probably why no one has bothered to try and buy me.<br /><br />Martin Moran MW<br />PS. Yes we are better than MSs and I'll tell you why....

I'd never even heard of the rag, but Tim knew it was HoseMaster material. One of the rare times I've received a suggestion that I actually took. Not just for the blog, but in life. For one thing, it turns out it's really hard to Go Fuck Yourself. Tough Club to be in.<br /><br />Le Pan is clearly aimed at the wealthy Asian market, which is impressed by all things Western and MW. But it needs a solid Western readership to give it authority. I'm guessing ultimately it's about selling more real estate. The expensive wine just attracts the right crowd.Ron Washam, HMWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238869156614617705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-22043034875852279472015-07-06T14:45:20.587-07:002015-07-06T14:45:20.587-07:00Hose

The scary thing is how little you had to change their words. <br />Upholding the old adage " it's only funny because it's true". <br /><br />Or perhaps "alcohol, the cause of and solution to all of life's problems."Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947624477553194151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-49484872719343324902015-07-06T14:04:36.060-07:002015-07-06T14:04:36.060-07:00Neil,
