The Côte D’Azur Caper

Monoprix? If we sell the yacht we can surely do better for a shopping spree.

Never a problem- I sure they will re- open it just for us , for a sort of private view

Damn! We seem to have missed it. May need to kick the time machine back into action.

Specially for us!

You don’t mean that bag that was lying around and somebody picked up and took to Clarence House do you?

Is that a store in Cannes Lucca? I think it might trade as Monoprix now.

Does Prisunic still exist?

OMG! Is there? I've got to try to flog this tub back to an oligarch when we get to Monte Carlo - try to recoup some of the 12 million Euro we paid for it.

Did we pay in used notes stuffed into a Prisunic carrier bag?

I’m dying to meet Sven. He was always otherwise engaged at Argy.

Form an orderly queue GSM !
When do we get to meet the new ship’s dog? He’ll be delighted that there’s a lovely big tree right in the middle of the deck for his delectation!

No rules? And whisky? Sounds amaz. ? Count me in.
I had a malt earlier it kicked in nicely.

Urms. This is Gin Hokum. No rules apply. Think of it as late night Mornington Crescent with whisky and cigars and cake.

Except we ain't got no cigars. We were expecting ixion to bring a box of her old dad's Claudia Winklemans.

The Argy that should have said. As in Highlander, there can be only one.

Er - no-one told me it was formal dress ?

Oughtn'twe to be playing something French? (I don’t mean the horn).
Isn’t it ‘Baccarat’?
Bet it’s hard ...

Oh yes, the SQ version. Now you’re talking!

X posts Maw! We even chose the same image ha!

Right up my street GSM!
I’m rubbish at card games. ‘Snap’ is about my level, much to Himself’s disappointment over the years. I just seem to put random cards down and everyone groans. It’s most off putting (and infuriating for them I suppose). I’d never make a card sharp ...

Only if we can play the Scabby Queen version GSM.

I haven’t played Old Maid in years. The face looks familiar .

Then we could play Donkey. Sven reckons he’s hung like one. ??

Nicely liberating from the N&P threads where I’m often exhorted to post my sources and/or links.
Yay! ?

I’m up for some cards. Gin hokum?
What was it somebody said about Brünnhilde?
Oh yes,
“Never play Gin with Brünnhilde. She cheats.”

Oh goody, this is wonderful! I was turning out some old games the other day and came across Old Maid from my childhood.
Such fun. Anyone care for a game when we’ve beaten Brünnhilde at Hokey?

Caine is in the card school though. The coach overhanging the quay is causing a bit of a disturbance though!
