Stag weekend in France + Golf - tips?

devonutopia · 10-03-2007, 16:27

I think just "drink and be merry" is the main one for me

This coming Friday, I'll be on a ferry (hitting the car

) over to France. 18 holes of golf - night out on the town Sat night. Sunday another 18 holes of golf, then home.

I'm gonna be knackered! Could do with French phrases, other than those starting with "voulez vous couchet"

(which might come in handy anyway

) that would get me by. What's french for "FOOOORRRRRRE!" - as my golf swing is likely to be rusty after 6 months out.

What's the best French tipple too - when in France?

(tempted by Guinness as it will St Paddy's day)

Do a search on Absinthe mate - apparently it's hallucinogenic and legal too......

Dunno if you want to drink that and play golf - may make for some entertaining video tho'.....

I've got the little book of essential foreign insults, so I've got plenty of useful french phrases. The basics:

**** off, you pointless ****, ******, kiss my ****, **** sucker.

And some more upmarket ones:

Thanks to your disgusting local cuisine, dieting has never been so easy.
So that's what Syphillis looks like. Are there any other indigenous conditions I should know about?
why has no one thought of importing deodorants to your country?
I'd like to meet your parents. When is the zoo open?
In my country its not normal for women to have hair there.

Plus plenty of others, what would you like to know?

PM me as many as you can!

Try disguising the swearing with numbers and stuff in the PM so I can read it easier.

Lummox · 10-03-2007, 20:06

Get yourself a good Wood for the golf.

devonutopia · 10-03-2007, 20:08

Decent clubs are not an issue - It's the person swinging them that's got much to learn still....

Lummox · 10-03-2007, 20:10

Be carefull swinging your wood about on a stag doo.

devonutopia · 10-03-2007, 20:11

Aahhh, I getcha

I wonder whether one of the gang have ordered a stripper? Hmmm.

I sense a NSFW video.

Gimlet · 11-03-2007, 16:59

whereabouts in France are you going? Guinness is about 7 EURO per pint on average over here

devonutopia · 11-03-2007, 17:16

Normandy area. If guinness is that much I will be drinking the cheap stuff.

Basil · 11-03-2007, 17:20

now you're comitted to posting a NSFW video, you know....

Gimlet · 11-03-2007, 17:23

If you're in Normandy you need to get on the calvados. It'll make you grimace but it's pure rocket fuel!

MissKia · 12-03-2007, 06:02

I think prior to the night in question 'Ou et la pharmacie' may be useful

Calvados is also excellent for settling the system at the start of stag trip, day 2.

It really is an under rated drink.

Coming from the west country you should love the stuff, its basically apple brandy

MMmmm calvados

philc · 12-03-2007, 13:40

In Normandy, it'll be cider and Calvados, like the other folks said. You'll also find lots of Stella on sale.

WrightyRS · 12-03-2007, 14:19

I'm sure you won't be playing much Golf!!!!

Of all the stag weekends i've been on that have had a "Golf" basis not once did the Stag play one round,or even tee off!!!!!

So leave the clubs at home and making drinking the main game of the weekend!!!

daiking · 13-03-2007, 23:07

How's the pigeon french coming along?

Need a few more?

devonutopia · 13-03-2007, 23:43

Yes please.

So that's what Syphillis looks like. Are there any other indigenous conditions I should know about? Voila donc a quoi ressemble la syphilis. Y a t-il d'autres affections typiques que je devrais connaitre?
why has no one thought of importing deodorants to your country? Pourquoi personne n'a jamais pense a importer du deodorant dans votre pays?
I'd like to meet your parents. When is the zoo open? J'aimerai bien rencontrer vos parents? Vous connaissez les horaires d'ouverture du zoo?
In my country its not normal for women to have hair there. Dans mon pays, il est normal pour les femmes d'avoir des poils a cet endroit.
You have a great face ... for radio. Vous avez un visage magnifique... pour faire de la radio.

And a couple for the groom to use:
Ropey old whore - Vieille pute visqueuse!
Thanks to you, it now hurts when I pee - Merci a vous, maintenant ca me brule quand je p!sse

What? Its educational
