England's Largest Off-Licence 

Place whose sole reason for existence is for English people to go and stock up on alcoholic drink. In other words, France.

I'm on a booze-cruise to England's Largest Off-Licence.

French leave

Going AWOL, Desertion, etc.

"Zut alors! Où sont les militaires allés?"
"Ils ont pris, comme les Anglais disent, <<French Leave>>, quand ils ont entendu les gun-shots!"
"Hmm, comme d'habitude!" (Shrug of gallic insouciance).

Linux 

Contrary to what is claimed by many Windows-haters, not all versions of Linux are particularly good. The price you pay a stable OS is the amount of fuss and bother you undergo in trying to find a decent version of it!

I installed the free version of Linux that came with the book "Linux for Dummies". It didn't work. I am still trying to work out if there is any irony in the preceding two sentences.
