    French numbers after 69. It's infuriatingly stupid. Why not continue with the same system that's worked perfectly well for 20+, 30+, 40+, 50+ and 60+?! But no, lets abandon all logic and make 70 be said as sixty ten, make 99 be said as four times twenty plus nineteen, and everything between be equally ludicrous. Inexplicable.
    synonym:French

    Not all french speakers adhere to those names for those numbers.  Some Belgian or Swiss dialects use the archaic septante for 70, huitante, nonante, etc.
    You'd get a very funny look from most of the garlic crunching, surrender monkeys in la République Francaise if you used those much tidier and sensible terms but they'd all know what you meant.

    I never seem to get past that number anyway
    Not a cunning linguistic then?

    The amount of 'How did we do?' emails I receive.

    I've just had a 'how did we do' email re a delivery of a Sky hub.  I awarded top marks with the observation that someone managed to put it in a box, attach an address label and put it in the post.  Good work indeed!
    This. Everything I buy/see I get a f£$%&£ survey request.
    How about answer your bleeding phones instead of sending out surveys you c£$%$.

    I'm not taking part in the former and our club probably won't be taking part in the later. 
    I'll watch both from home.
