Le Topic des Anglais et des Anglophones

[KiaN]

Right now I'm trying to read all the The Saint books, the famous characteur created by Leslie Charteris and seen on screen played by the excellent Roger Moore in an old serie (and dont talk about the shitty movie with Val Kilmer : this movie stinks and is a shame for Simon Templar !). My only problem is that even in Paris I cannot find them in english, and can only find a few of them in french, only on resell. No editor is printing it right now, and I wonder how I could find the complete set of books in an english or american edition, but they dont seem to have any right now, so it's not that easy.

Nevertheless I really enjoy reading his adventures. This character is half way between the gentleman thief Arsene Lupin (Maurice Leblanc) and Robin Hood. If you like Arsene Lupin, you will definitely like the Saint ! I already read more than 10 books :)

I'm afraid I don't know this book. KiaN, your level in English is quite high! Have you ever stayed some time in an English speaking country?

I've been a few times in the states, and visited LA, SF, Vegas, and few others like San Diego and Dallas but this is not the reason why I can use that easily english, 'cause I only went to an english speaking country for the first time four or five years ago, but I started studying this language in Paris while being in kindergarten, which was somewhere around 20 years ago.

[legame]

Right! Well done.

[KiaN]

Thanks ... but why ?

[legame]

For learning to speak English that well! Doesn't matter, forget it.

Well that is thanks to my parents who thought that learning a second language since childhood and especially english is essential nowadays, and that is SO TRUE !

[Scaramouche]

leave it fall... it's only a young guy from brittany

moi non plus j'aime pas trop les anglais je précise... et encore plus depuis que j'en ai comme colocataires

[legame]

Scara, tu vis en Angleterre mais tu n'aime pas les Anglais??? C'est un peu contradictoire, non? Tu es légèrement en minorité!

[KiaN]

legame, are you english ?

French, english ... je t'aime moi non plus

[legame]

A genuine British citizen! But I live in France.

moi aussi je n'aime pas trop les anglais, surtout leur façon de manger (beurk le bruch et les gros petit déj); m'enfin, dois y avoir plein d'anglais cool comme legame

Rattape toi bien Ipphy! :8 Il faut pas généraliser un peuple, il y a des cons partout.

Sinon, on ne mange pas tout le temps le brunch et les gros pti déj bien gras, que de temps en temps! Et la cuisine anglaise ne se limite pas qu'à ça! De plus en Angleterre tu peux manger de tout, de toutes les cultures!

[KiaN]

A brunch is nice for those who wake up at noon, but I dont like to eat bacon for the breakfast and generally speaking I dont like that much enflish food, but still they have some nice stuff !

legame > If occasionally i make mistakes, dont hesitate, you can correct me : I haven't really been practicing my english since a few years except while watching movies or TV series

[legame]

Right, I wont correct every little mistake, only big ones!

[ipphy]

! De plus en Angleterre tu peux manger de tout, de toutes les cultures!

c'est vrai, qd je suis allé en australie chez mon correspondant, sa famille était d'origine indienne et avait vécu longtemps au kenya, et j'ai mangé des truc bien différent que la bouffe de base. On pouvait meme manger avec les doigt

[KiaN]

Oh I forgot ! I never went to the UK but I once went to a Channel Island : Jersey when I was a kid.

OT > Sky One and SciFi rock ! And UPN for Star Trek

Miam! Enfin je devrais dire : yum!

I've been quite a few times to the Channel Islands, mainly to Alderney.

[KiaN]

Right now I'm listening to VIRGIN CLASSIC ROCK from the internet, radio which I listen for days and days : I really like it ! (but now they have a few ads from time to times). This radio I think can be listened to in the UK from satellite group Sky, and belongs to the Virgin Group

[legame]

What type of music do you listen to?

[KiaN]

A big lot of different types of music : techno and similar (not too fond of house, bit I really enjoy goa or trance for example), french rap (but also US), electronic musics, jazz, classic rock, etc ...

I especially dont like RnB (and metal for that matter)

I listen to a bit of everything except rap, rnb and metal. But I mainly like rock music.
