I was running 3 English pubs in the center of Paris 99-2002. It was €7:50 a pint then

I’ve been on here under various names since 2001 and admittedly am more of a reader than a poster these days, however…. Later this year my home town ( Bordeaux) will be welcoming hoards of fans for the RWC, and being the owner of a couple of pubs I thought I’d pass on some drinking info. My two pubs...

In 2007 the Canadian fans were the biggest drinkers, followed by the Irish. I’m not fussed really. Just looking forward to some good matches and a big party.

I just want to see which teams are coming to Bordeaux and praying my pubs aren’t still on lockdown.

I’m 54 and saw Metallica last weekend in Paris. The previous time I saw them was monsters of rock in the UK in 1984, I thought they were a bit quiet last week actually.

Terrible terrible news.

Good job the Catholic Church has so many billions to repair it.

Although thoughts and prayers should do eh?

In the 30 years I’ve lived in France, 3 of the 4 properties I’ve bought have been derelict / unwanted by the locals. I’ve spent time and money doing them up ( keeping tradesmen and suppliers in business, one supplier even telling me that 80% of his customers were foreigners) In rural France it’s not...

One of my sons friends just bought a small 3 story townhouse in Ste Foy la grande about an hour from Bordeaux for 18,000€. It’s still possible to find bargains that need doing up

As some of you know I have pubs in Bordeaux, Saturday night in town was horrendous. We’d spoken to the police and taken appropriate precautions, extra security, no terrace furniture out etc and I spent all day going between the two pubs in the town center that were closest to any potential flashpoin...

I’ve dislocated 3x left and 2x right during my motorcycle racing days. My son did his 4 times last season ( including reaching to catch a ball in a pre meeting warm up and once being ridden over by a Danish rider in a meeting) As he’s early in his career I think an operation may be in order soon.

Like quite a few on here I’ve been aware of this threads existance and have popped in from time to time. I’ve been worried about my levels of drinking for a while now, Mrs Frog and I sometimes go two days a week alcohol free, but living in France ( wine!) and owning 3 pubs you can see that alcohol p...

I raced sidecars professionally for a few years in the 90s ( only longtrack/speedway ) but can totally understand why people race the island, it’s a totally different challenge from circuit racing. I have a friend who is riding the sidecar race at the TT this year for the first time, he’s studied th...

Oh yes ! Bordeaux baby.

I’d better order a *few extra barrels of the black stuff in

Do any of you guys watch the 10’s tournament? A good mate of mine coached the winning ten last year and is back to defend the title this year. I know it’s not as supported as the 7’s but is it a good craic all the same ?

The restaurant in the place de la bourse is le Gabriel, not too bad but pricey, we also have a Gordon Ramsey eaterie at the Grand hotel, Philippe Etchebest restaurant opposite at the Grand Theater and La Tupina which has already been mentioned.
