It's the first of the regular winter lotos (bingo) today in my village. If you've never thought of going to one, it's a great opportunity to meet the locals and practise your French numbers. And you might even win a ham or a tray of fresh meat!

Excellent idea dmu, I went with my daughter last year and we had a great laugh! One of her friends actually won a top prize, although she wasn't too impressed as it was a beachcasting rod... The whole evening was fun, and it was nice to see townspeople in mufty and try and remember who they were!!

I recommend this to everyone

Agree - it's on the 28th here in our local town - good night out

Now that is something I miss Last year I helped run the school loto and it was really fun. Wow! did the mothers make good pancakes or what! But I was surprised to see them being sold at the start for 4 for a euro and then happily being eaten straight without a topping. I made a Victoria sponge - something my mother would have laughed at but then I hanker for yorkshire pudding too. We had maize for counters to cover the rows. I've heard that in some more remote parts of the country they still use the dried skin of the pig's testes.

Lawks, wouldn't want to be a Pig in Lot now would we? C'est tres dangereuse

Ewood

Words fail me. And probably the pig too

treskillard

It's all right Andy, they breed them with 200 pairs of testes which ensures minimum suffering and encourages uniformity of size.

Double lawks, pigs with 200 testes? Wouldn't want to be a Mrs Pig in Lot either, could be quite tiring ................

Ewood

Load of bollocks if you ask me

Andrea50

I bet Ewood goes off to YouTube now for a clip of Miss Piggy kicking seven bales out of loads of testicularly superior male pigs ...................

Oh my God! Is that what he's like??? I thought his hairline looked a bit high but this is too much.

Ewood

Thinking of doing some ironing actually <sniffs>

Bingo sounds a good way to meet the locals and improve your command of French numbers

Ewood

High forehead Tres, but not like Richard E Grant

treskillard

Looks like I may have over reacted. I can't imagine you doing that to a pig or a peg as they call it Scotland.

Tres, it's supposed to be some Sex Symbol called Roy Liotta, never heard of im meself, thought he was a footballer.

Come to think of it, the pic DOES have a receding hairline - how can he be a sex symbol with them bald bits? Je Ne Comprendo Pas.
