Well he is obviously a snooty little French Kid. You cant come to another country and try and shut out the culture which includes movies/tv.
SEND HIM HOME !

have the indy trilogy, which i actually got from canada so has french subs... he had no interest.. oh believe me, we have calculated the number of minutes/seconds we will have to put up with him until he leaves next wednesday.. he's torture.. wont go to bed at night (i get up at 6am so like to be in bed around 11).. wont get up in the morning.. he's always late for his bus even though my wife gets him up an hour before he has to be there.. (the bus is only 5 mins from the house walking).... takes ages in the bathroom..
the other day his monitor called us to complain to us he was late for the bus! i told her to translate to him that he needs to hurry up in the morning but he's obviously thick.. and he insulted my broadband speed.. saying it was useless that he has 20mbps access at home... 
the spanish girl is a dream compared to him |

we considered asking for him to be re housed.. but figured we could live with the pain until wednesday... they are out most of the time so its not so bad.. sunday will be a trying day.. we have to entertain them for the day.. last week he got up at 9am.. the other student didnt get up until close to 12! doesnt make any sense.. what student doesnt sleep in when they get a chance! the weather looks good for the weekend so will just go to the beach for the day!

How about  this? Or maybe  these? Could always go with  this.
Hope these suggestions aren't too late.

Hi,
Show the  the last 20 minutes of "Cannibal Ferox", and tell him that that's what'll happen to him, if he doesn't start behaving!  For those who don't want to know, SPOILER ALERT:
START OF SPOILER - Highlight to read!
The cocky American drug dealer, is captured by the cannibals, and has his
genitals and brain removed, before then getting carved up for lunch! 
END OF SPOILER!
Obviously, let the Spanish lady watch something more appropriate and pleasant, seeing as she's being so nice to you! Hope you make it until Wednesday.
Pooch |
