Well, the conclusion to that one, girls, must be : never trust a man with bad spelling.
And that goes for Nicolas too.

OK. Accept that. However…’illy sounds very old and deserves an archaic label’…The Columbian Guide to AMERICAN English 1993, Columbia University Press. Appropriate, I suggest for our ‘ladybirds’

Thierry,

What an utter fool I must have been, I do apologize.

I am not sure what variety of the English language Alliance Lucy or Lucy claim to be familiar with, but such a word as “illy” certainly does not appear in either the Oxford Dictionary of English nor the Cambridge Advanced Learners Dictionary of English. It is a classic example of how to bastadize (verb, pg.63., Oxford Pocket Dictionary) a language in the most illiterate, ugly and ill-founded way.

ps I would ask you to disregard the sanctimonious attitude of the two ‘ladybirds’ in question and suggest they get a life!

I too was surprised to see you in Glamour, just a month after I saw La Coquette. It did kind of freak me out though that I recognized the two of you straight away without having to read your names, considering the fact that I’ve never met either of you…

Petite, c’est pas vrai je n’ai pas demander que l’histoire de la soirée ne soit pas sur le blog. J’ai juste demandé que tu me trouves un pseudo.
En fait, c’est toi qui ne veux pas raconter la soirée.

well claire i think you did just speak illy. cumbersome as it might look it is english and means what it spells. lucy does have a good point and expresses it well without the smarm.

Trevor said “Here, Here Lucy!”
Come, come Trevor you eejit, it’s “hear, hear” not “here, here” unless of course you mean there, there but then you should explain where, where!

Well he can’t have been that bad otherwise posting details would have been perfect revenge.

Oh petite, finish the story soon! I went out on friday night and a man offered to buy me cocktails all night if i promised to dance with him. NOting the age of the man (60ish) and the size of his paunch (lge) and the quality of cocktails available at the divey clubs where i live, i felt it only safe to decline.
Maybe I should live a bit more dangerously!! Hope you at least got a nice cocktail and the nibbles were tasty….
