Challenges for Paris???

I will be off to Cagliari in Sardinia in a couple of days. As well as finding some Scots people have set me the following challenges: Explain rugby's offside rule to an Italian - Judging by their national team very few of them understand the concept Get a local to sing "Walking down the Dunkeld road, to see the Muirton aces" Speak to a naked man in Sardinia Find a red headed Italian Try to get haggis pizza Ask directions for "Scratchin'Ma-Fanny" Tell a bum joke and see if it is true about the sound affects of an amphitheatre Convince a sardinian local to wear a wee wullie orange wig and tammie. Claim you are a descendent of the Stuarts and therefore have come to claim the Sardian throne. Nothing difficult there then.... I think that's enought challenges to be going on with in Sardinia. Can you now start sending me challenges for Paris the following week. I myself have set the task of trying to find out some historical stuff about Scotland's links with France, but I'm sure you will have some additional ideas. Add a comment and let me know.

    Well try to avoid the French, and keep your eyes peeled, as apparently there's a big metal tower there?
    OK, you have to wear something stripey and set up some burning barricades along the south bank.
    Either that or still wearing something stripey, go up Montmartre and drink some Absinthe.
    Oh and avoid falling in love with any Algerian immigrants if you can?

    Challenges for Paris:

    Go to the Moulin Rouge (its in Pigalle, get the underground) and try and persuade the manager to give you an audition as a showgirl.

    Draw the mona lisa yourself and flog it to a tourist outside the louvre for at least 1 euro

    Cheers,

    Craig

    I reckon you should head out to disneyland paris and try to get one of the characters to wear a scotland or st johnstone football shirt.

    Also find a shop in gay paris selling irn bru, and explain to the seller that it's actually made from girders, before drinking it and acting like popeye having just ate some spinach . ;-)

    I like the Moulin Rouge link - see if you can do a bit of open mic there or something...

    Bruce. Last time I was in Paris there were lots of old ladies walking sausage dogs. See if you can persuade one to let you wear the dog round your neck like a scarf.
