h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

My youngest neice when she was a baby used to gurgle in French "anwee, arnie, anee".

Kat

Narapoia.... Yeah, that's why I'm concentrating on songs in French... Just in case...

The translation of "Who is afraid of the big bad wolf" [Qui a peur du grand mechant loup] works as well as the French version was well known in France then... err a few years ago...


And "deja loup" would literally means "deja me"...



loup

Literally, "deja vu" means "already seen"

>You'll all be sorry you ever started this thread<

I won't... I didn't start this thread anyway...

>Wandering what I'm doing yet are you?<

Not really... I might wonder though...

>My youngest niece when she was a baby used to gurgle in French "anwee, arnie, anee".<

kat... Too much deja vus of "The Terminator" perhaps?!...

loup

**inspects with binoculars from a far away distance the box sitting in the middle of the room**

uses microscope

what about that line from the beatles "michelle"

Was Michelle a wolf?

I thought she was a bell

loup my youngest neice was a sweet little and even though she was a toddler she would love beating up her old sister (5 years older than her) and running up the stairs. I caller her my little Royal Marine Commando, Regimental Sergeant Major. Funny enough I think whilst my little neice was having a fight with her older sister the Terminator was on the tv/video.

What about Commando Worf

Kat

Awww Whisky, how kind of you to bring us a present!
Is it puppies?!!
Or Earthquake Pills disguised as bird food?

Hang on, hasn't he tried something like this before? Or am I just imagining it...?

I'm not so sure N. Maybe it's just a feeling like it's happened before?

Isn't there a pithy foreign phrase that describes that feeling?

what does michelle say in french

Any she likes as long as it's not obscene...

from memory:

"Michelle, ma belle, sont des mots qui vont tres bien ensemble"

"Michelle, my lovely one, these are words that go together well"

I think the translation's given in the next verse!

I think int he translatioin the song, they still use "ma belle", while translating "these are words that go together well, my michelle"

That certainly sounds familiar.

How on earth have we managed to go off topic the _already_ off topic conversation?!...

Or is it a side effect of the 'deja vu' syndrome?!...

So, for those who haven't taken any note, let's make it clear that michelle is not loup...

Neither is Commander Worf..

Neither is anyone who is not me...

Of course, we could just go back to the subject of 'deja vu'... But, that would be like reading something we've already read surely?!...

Oh no, that would be 'deja lu' not 'deja vu'...

I wonder what 'deja vu' really means though...

*waits for B. to turn up so we can have that sense of the familiar again*
