So dude last month I went to see Mickey
Flanagan at the o2.
And he said something that made sense
“Been to France?, no you do what most
people do and fly right over the top of
it to Spain”
You see, if we ever go to France I'll
have a pal of mine
Fluent in "the French" with me
(Actually not completely true there was
the 2006 champions league final,
Where I missed the plane home and missed
the Mrs birthday.
Still a saw subject in the Seton
household 11 years later)
You see what my pal does is speak the
lingo "correctly"
In Spanish you only have to get close
enough and the Spanish will help you out
Point and suggest,
Smile even
In France, you have to be 100% on the
money with what you say,
How you say it,
and in the right context or they with a
look confusion either do nothing
or just say "NON"
Basically
“Try again you English pig”
So me and my pals are in this very
swanky bar in megeve
And somehow I’ve f*cked up my order and
I’m now in the possession of
A vodka and apple juice
Now dude nothing says “nice boy” like
this drink but it was nice
(At the time)
And I now fancy another
ask my pal how to say it in French
“Vodka Pom”
I called the barman over and ask for
“Vodka Pom” 3 Times with just a blank
look
I recon he know I wanted vodka & coke
the first time and tried to f*ck with me
But now on the vodka and apple juice
My pal steps up and says “Vodka Pom” and
boom drink is served
My pal just turns to me and says
“He’s taking the piss out of you”
Seriously my french may be more del boy
than most but to this day
My pal thinks its funny
And I have a very clear memory of it
Whats the lesson here fella

The people, that can do the stuff you
cant
