Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread VI
Massive power failure. Area ? Network ? Train halted miles from anywhere for two hours. Power went off no lights, no a/c and no internet. Increasingly depressing announcements but suddenly moving again and arrived at brand new station of Nîmes Pont du Gard. Now almost home. Fingers crossed.

Re: Chaos in France
Must say that in the past 48 hours I saw very few police in Paris, far fewer than in London where these days armed police are not unusual. The International Government Establishment where I work in Paris has built a separate screening office inside the main entrance. Invitation (by e-mail after secu...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread VI
On the subject of easy or not deaths, mentioned elsewhere. A colleague, Tony, had a mild heart attack just before Christmas. He was released from hospital, seemingly recovered. On Christmas Day the whole large family enjoyed the usual festive lunch and Tony was at his best, laughing and chatting. At...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread VI
Morning all from Paris. Good night's sleep, no palpitations, no heart racing. Sure it was indigestion. My mother had exactly the same in her eighties. Funny how the body gets less tolerant as we age. I did walk round to a local Paris doctor after finally arriving at hotel* but a lout sitting in the ...

Lunch guests just left. If I didn't know they had an appointment, I would have said it was because the house suddenly got so cold. Cold enough to have the heating on. mid-May ? Humbug !

Re: The totally-totally non-political show of all times: 'united by music' - Eurovision song contest!
Spiked says: "What a thing of beauty that Israel beat Ireland in Saturday’s Eurovision Song Contest. That Israel’s serene songstress, Eden Golan, got more points than Ireland’s warbling, gurning, pseudo-Satanic they / them, Bambie Thug. That an actually decent song trumped the caterwauling of a fake...

The only song worth saving to my car's drive was the one our friend wrote, German entry, sung by Isaak, the only normal person there.
