I did not understand your comment until I looked closely at my post. Well spotted. I will not correct it as I think that nowadays we all need a bit of a giggle.

Rosemary

One that sticks with me is used to describe someone who is tight-fisted, not forthcoming in paying their way/share etc

Il/elle a un hérisson dans sa poche – he/she has a hedgehog in his/her pocket.

:lol:

Cardinal error or no, Tweedpope is just hoping he won't be excommunicated for all the defrocking he committed as a youth.:sneaky:
If it still existed I could have been locked away in the Bastille. There.........looks like we've just gone full circle!

I've been away, and missed all this. Thanks to all for a good laugh!
Relatively off-topic, but I couldn't watch the opening of the Olympic Games, so missed the controversial Marie-Antoinette and Last Supper offerings.
