> remember the Norman French warning to visitors entering Magdalene: "Garde ta Foy" - protect your liver.
Hmmm... this has nothing to do with the core of your message, rather with a slight detail that tickles me.
I am not sure who Norman French is, but "Garde ta Foy" means "keep the faith," faith being feminine in French. "Foy" is old French for "Foi." Protect your liver would be "Garde ton foie," liver being masculine in French. Does that make sense with the Norman French character?
