majorbloodnock Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 OK, how about this one; a bit more involved than my others. "To The Water, It's Time - A History of the French Navy", by Marty Linguist; a revised translation from the classic work, "A L'Eau, C'est L'Heure" by Lucienne Hibitions. The more you think about that one, the more groanworthy it gets, so I'll call for my coat now and get it over with.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 That's the excuse I was going for aswell JJ .. Maybe it was to do with something that was "before our time", or perhaps we are just being a bit thick . Thats what I thought, but it isn't really. Just say the french 'book' title quite fast. Very good Major! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get majorbloodnock's neither do I but knowing him it is something deep, meaningful and profound. I am using the excuse 'Too young to understand' Sorry, both; it has nothing to do with age OK, the explanation. A direct translation into French of the words "to the water, it is time" (though not good French, I'll admit) is "a l'eau, c'est l'heure". It sounds plausible as the French Naval motto until you realise it's pronounced "'ello, sailor", with all its connotations of easy morals, hence the writer being Lucienne Hibitions (loose inhibitions). However, the French book title is meaningless as a joke on its own, so we need to start with the English version, hence Marty Linguist (multilinguist) as the translator to bring us full circle. I told you it got worse as you looked at it more.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
