Can't believe I made the masculine/feminine mistake (though, on the other hand, how appropriate!) And I got an A* in GCSE French, too. Bah. Not going to make it to Paris sadly - we're heading to Bordeaux and then inland towards Bergerac... Balls.

Not going to make it to Paris sadly – we’re heading to Bordeaux and then inland towards Bergerac…

A great resource for language stuff is wordreference.com. Not only is it very detailed with lots of good examples, but you can look up rude words in the dictionary like you did at school, and have the website read them out for you: e.g. http://www.wordreference.com/audio/en/uk/4387-2.mp3 Moreover their example sentences for other swear words are extremely bizarre, e.g. the last one on this page http://wordreference.com/enfr/shit Oh and not ‘opposé’ either – its “en face de” – opposé is for people I think.

Had it have been a female noun though, you would have been exactly right! Unfortunately, it was not. Where are you heading to in France? Send me a message if you make it to Paris ...
