John has a long mustache - Edward the Asshole plans to invade Normandy

[CountDeMoney]

I have had my agent in the field examine several properties. EVERY GODDAMN ONE FAILED HER INSPECTION OF THE PROPERTY.

Including one whose online posting did not match its reality. It was a "pile of shit".

Ed: FRUSTRATED.

Dude, that's simply something you need to do in person.

Seriously.

Rent a Volkswagon Thing, paint it feldgrau, then get driven around Normandy by someone and at various times order a halt then stand up and point with your riding crop at the ones you want.

[Ed Anger]

I'm not flying out until I get a solid report from my female spy. I supply her with American treats, she'll do my bidding.

[PDH]

Likely a reasonable choice, those riding breeches would be an expensive part of my plan.

I feel sorry for Ed's cat.  He's constantly making it wear clothing and posing it.

He could do worse things.

Well done female spyperson 

There is a high risk of wasting quite a bit of money on overpriced property in a country that is on the precipice above a socialist nightmare. Do be careful.

Yeah, soviet tanks will roll down the streets of France in about a week once Hollande is elected.

THE NIGHTMARE BEGINS! RUN FOR THE HILLS!

Nothing will change. Chillax, people.

Sales of knitting magazines in France have increased recently.........it doesn't augur well for political stability

Careful?  I love how he's the Decider-In-Chief for all this, and not the wife.  Talk about not being careful.

He must beat her.

Let us know if you do actually pull the trigger on anything Ed, and how it goes from there.

Current thinking in the Barrister household is after retirement in 20 years is to downsize the Canadian property and buy a place in Italy to live in for half the year.  I know, I know - the downside is living with Italians for six months.

I obviously don't have the resources you do, but with the house paid off at that point (heck - probably a bigger more expensive house paid off at that point) the numbers do seem to work from what I can tell from online browsing.

So, for all your talk about how much you loved living in the frozen wilderness you've finally come to your senses and decided to live amongst civilization.
