k&k episode 129 - the one where they consider their fringes... or bangs... and stuff...
In episode 129, after Kyliemac tells us all about her new gaelic class (which leads to yet another discussion about the brétons, oh how we love the brétons) and her recent trip to the hair dresser, we discuss whether Kyliemac's new fringe suits her and whether Katia has poodle hair. Kylie then proceeds to tell us about some museums she visited recently, and then, after Katia confesses her push-pull feelings about Franck Dubosc, we talk a bit about kissing.
Kyliemac visited the musée de la publicité / advertising museum, the musée des arts décoratifs and the musée de la mode et du textile, and is planning on visiting the Marie Antoinette exhibition at the Grand Palais.
And Katia saw Camping with Frank Dubosc.
Don't forget about the SOS Helpline book sale!
This episode was brought to you by the word "une coiffeuse" (a hair dresser).
k&k episode 128 
@samantha - i thought it was US that would be forced to wear the hats!
wait. maybe i shouldn't have said that...
::looking concerned::
Yes, we saw the publicity for the Marie Antoinette exhibit together, but did she wait for me to go and see it? NooooOOOOOoooo!!! *weep*
Katia-If it makes you feel any better, I sometimes look like a cocker spaniel with my hair.
I also wanted to say I agree that Franck DB is the creepiest most attractive man I know I've ever seen.
Breton rocks!
Dear Kyliemac and Katia
There's something I'd like to say ta ya
Where to start - Oh I know
A horrid thing heard on your show
A thing I'm sure most men dread
"I start by biting off the head"
Oh dear, oh dear
Please make it clear
I need to hear
Now never fear
What you heard and what I said
Is not the thing that most men dread
It's all fine, It's all dandy
The thing I bit was only candy
Why Bob, I simply can't imagine what you thought I could have meant.
*smiles sweetly*
Leah : I am so glad that I confessed by secret shame about Franck DB, because here you all are, coming out of the woodwork to confess too. I don't feel quite so alone now ;)
PS -
Oh my goodness,
oh gee, gollies
where does one
get those lollies?
Down here in Montpellier there are a few bilingual Occitan/French schools, and the Occitan culture is really strong here, still. All of the street and place names are listed in the two languages. A friend of mine has her two kids in one of the bilingual schools. There are quite a lot of people here who are fluent in Occitan... my friend Thierry is, for example.
I think there are bilingual French/Provençal schools in Provence, as well, BTW. Not sure, though.
I actually started taking Breton classes last year, but had the same experience as Kyliemac, where I just kind of jumped into a class that had already started. I ended up stopping because I just couldn't keep up, and like Kyliemac said, the sounds are so different. But there was a Welsh guy in the class, and he caught on like *that* because Breton & Welsh are so similar. There are also a couple different dialects of Breton, and apparently people from Southern Brittany used to have trouble understanding those from Northern Brittany.
And Katia, I'm curious - did your co-workers go to a catholic school? I'm not positive, but I believe that up until about 15-20 years ago, it was 'illegal' to teach in any other language than French in public schools. Here in Bretagne, it's only since the 1990's that Breton has started to make a come-back. There are 'Diwan' (public) & 'Dihun' (private) schools that are bilingual Breton-French schools. Did you know that kids can even pass their BAC in Breton now?!
PS. Our spare bedroom is always open ladies!! (Unless you make me wear one of those hats....then you will really be sleeping on the floor)
