Dad stories"Do anything good for your birthday?" one of your friendly B3TA moderator team asked in one of those father/son phone calls that last two minutes. "Yep," he said, "Your mum." Tell us about dads, lack of dad and being a dad.

Are all dads clones?My dad did something rather similar at a French petrol station en route to Calais. There was a huge queue due to some strike or the other and while he was waiting in the line to pay he got a bit frustrated with the contentedly milling around Frenchman. He yelled "JE SUIS UN BATEAU"", walked along the magically appearing open space between him and the cash register, paid and left. Turns out he was trying to say "I AM LATE FOR THE BOAT"", what he said means "I AM A BOAT!"

Haha!This made me giggle like a mong. There must be something about dads trying their best to speak French but failing at the same time as being very earnest about their intentions and therefore just coming across as some wandering nutter - it would certainly explain why the natives got out of the way in both cases!
