In celebration of Younger Daughter’s birthday (she should have been named Horatia, being born on Trafalgar Day) we went to the Chanticleer Hotel in Drummond, where the roast meal with soup, main course of succulent beef and veg, and fruit salad and ice cream were delicious and most reasonable. The cabaret laid on was spectacular, indeed.
Let me put my arms … er, tail … around you, my darling!
Looky, looky, looky! Romance in detail of de tail!

Many happy returns of the day to your daughter, despite being born on such a dreadful day…
Your Frogly,
Brian

Oh dear, people on the other side of the puddle don’t venerate Horatio, do they?

As a frog I’ve never understood why the Brits keep naming their landmarks by defeats: Trafalgar Sq. Waterloo station, etc. Seriously!

Maybe they won so seldom they had to make a big hoo-ha about it when they did!

Haha! Possibly. though if one makes a strict count the English beat the Frogs more often than not. Bonne semaine.

I don’t know about that. I’ve always heard the English are inclined to lose every battle except the last.

PS. Would Brexit be the last battle? (‘coz they’re bound to lose on that) 😉

According to the legend, that means others will follow, and they’ll win one of them.

From Mdme Peahen’s response I think she found him a bit underwhelming. 🙂

He put heart and soul into the performance, but the critics were too busy eating popcorn to notice.

She was being really picky. Mind you, there were a number of cocks there, so he had a lot of competition. They weren’t bothering to show off, though!
