Off to Paris

[scooterscot]

The day before yesterday I travelled from Munich to Paris on the night time train. Only returned this morning.

My mind is shot. Totally buggered. When I was asked a question, I answered in German. And even then I struggle to reason why I should instead use English.



My breakfast was served as I was passing through the French countryside.

So you asked a question and answered it? You're talking to yourself?

So you got on a train and now you're an idiot? Are you suggesting cause and effect or were the warning signs there before you boarded?

I went to bed, everyone was speaking German. I woke up, everyone was speaking French. I'm too old for this sheet.

Looks like a pretty crap breakfast. 3 drinks and a little croissant.

No wonder the English are facing an obesity epidemic.

maybe he was thinking instead of empty calories in the alcohol and fat in the croissant they might have supplied fruit & protein such as meat cuts to make you feel full and to contain some vitamins. I suppose its better than deep fried mars bar!

Yeah, a breakfast of juice (refined sugar), a tiny pastry, booze and coffee really puts you on a high ground here.

That breakfast is probably as many calories as a small fry up or a big bowl of porridge but will leave you hungry 2 hours later.

Indeed, pastries are very bad as they are so low in bulk and so high in calories. But the juice is as bad as the booze. He's just having a breakfast almost entirely based on liquid.

You slept in a bed full of Germans, and when you woke up they'd all turned French. Sounds like a plot to "Allo Allo"..

It takes a few days of being in France for me to switch over to speaking French properly. Until then it's a mixture of French and German. I think my brain has only two language settings: English and "other".
