  2. Yesterday night, after 4 bottles of oaky italian wine, came the delightful idea of changing the fête nationale du Royaume de la Belgique to May the 8th, perfect day to reflect compromise (oui, mais? non, peut-être!). Do people wish each other “joyeuse fête nationale” in France? Anyhow, have a great day.

  6. Insert caption? I’d rather insert a certain president there! He would probably be every bit as unrepentant as that Louis fellow. No burgers? Let them eat steak!

  8. Just a short note to say that I’ve linked to your site from my humble little blog.

    Hopefully I’m a future translator.

    Cheers. Keep up the good work.

  12. How about “It was inhuman it was dull/And curiously technocratic.”? (from Marat/Sade, referring to the revolution)

    Wizmo, I love that “No burgers?” line about Mr. Bush and will start using it immediately. :)

  13. Well you might have memories in your head, but due to you mentioning the town of Avignon, I now have the children’s song “Sur le pont d’Avignon” in my head. The problem is I don’t speak French and only know the first two lines. But I guess that’s my problem.

    Cheers.
