Mr le Marquis is for this one: THIS IS A REAL PROFIT MAKER - OBVIOUSLY!!! It says it's the real, the genuine article! Can you get it out of it's plastic container without harm? Do they get a discount by ordering lots of 100euro notes? Total price including postage = 92,95euros  

Every year the same ritual. I know there is something being celebrated on the 4th July, and something on the 14th July, but I can never remember in what order. Was it on the 4th July that the French started chopping heads off American aristocrats, or was it the 14th July that the Americans decided to try the same thing with the British aristocrats? Who knows, and who cares. Both events had the same effect, a lot fewer of my co-aristocrat brothers, a drop in the cultured manner of living, the uprising of fast food with baked beans (this last was an invention of the poorly armed American revoltants, who could use the "natural sound effects" to create an almighty fear in the hearts of the colonial powers, who beleived that this "poop-poop-poop" represented small arms fire from a distance, with an occasional cannon "boom"). Such respect was given in France and in America to "madame la Guillotine" that they turned it into miniature, pocket sized versi...

It is amazing the sort of thing mr le Marquis gets to hear about, hidden in his little corner of France! Not being of a racist nature (I just don't like ANYBODY), I was chatting with one of my Arab acquaintances yesterday, who told me of a surprise coming up shortly. I bet the Security Services are not aware of it, and the Mayor of Glasgow most certainly isn't! Glasgow, Scotland, is twin-towned with Marseilles, and somehow the Mayor always arranges an official visit, always in Summer, never in Winter! For the Maire of Marseille it doesn't matter when he/she goes to Glasgow, the weather is always rotten! My Arab friend tells me that the Mayor is to be surprised with a "concert/parade" of French and Arab bagpipe playing people! Since he is one of these nuts, his information must be correct! I think if the Mayor of Glasgow was aware of the surprise, he/she would phone in "sick". Got enough of that in Glasgow, and in Marseille what they want is free Pastis...

Just trying out my Google Picasa to Google Blog! It seems to work, but still doesn't tell me in what sort of jars Brian puts his pickled lawnmowers! Good for people who know somebody called "BRIAN" - I don't, but I do know someone called "British Bulldog"!!  

By God - Half-time in Mexico and Argentina, and I switch on my PC!!! Obviously I'm thinking about you all out there! 1-1, not bad for a better Mexican team, and even the French are p--s--d off, because the Germans (between drinking beeer, eating Wurst and waving flags) actually thrashed (2-0 is only an indication) their poor Swedish opponents, who only wanted to get home and start their annual holidays, to get to the beaches before the traditional rivals for the best places (the Dutch/English/Germans) were still occupied with some nonsense called the World Cup in Football! All the towels/loungers/chairs/tables etc are now firmly in the hands of Swedes, who occasionally have to fight it out with Danish guests, who weren't in Germany anyway!! TOGO - where is it? I thought it was the name of a district/council flat area near Nimes, and then I was told that it was an island where all the ladies wore grass skirts, and all the guys went around with miniature lawnmowers in their ...

The following days/weeks/months are to be dedicated to Football, Tourists and paying bills! Ihope you will all be as positive thinking as myself, and laugh and smile whilst they are carrying out my valuable affairs (which I haven't got) to pay my hospital bills! All I can say is that a health system that makes you ill isn't worth a great deal! S-d 'em all! Have a photo:

Humour-football stars Originally uploaded by iwmpop . Well - you see, everybody has something! (see next article ). My problem is when the h--l can I have my siesta? Live matches at 15/18/21 hours, every day, make it difficult for a cardiac patient to tear himself away from chips, beer, wine, peanuts and the TV! HELP-HELP-HELP! (iwmpop)

I guess most of you don't even know that the "World Cup" is about to start! I thought a "special" would be quite appropriate. Like many of you, I have access to Satellite programmes, but unlike many of you, I use them! Jumping between French/English/German/Spanish/Italian etc programmes, I'm having a ball of a time. At the moment, I'm on the German programmes, after all, it's all happening over there, and it is quite unbeleivable what is presented. Even if you don't understand the language, you will still get the drift! The programmes are available on Astra, channels ARD, ZDF and RTL, on your decoders Astra, channels number 344, 361 and 341-just type the number into your decoder and you will be in Munich, Frankfurt,Cologne, Hamburg etc. At the moment, the full start programme/ceremony is about to start (on ZDF= channel nr 361 Astra). A few of the events I have watched today consisted of something for everybody, from regular special gymnastic prog...

Seems that from today everyone who uses a plane (from lots of airports in USA, Europe and elsewhere) will be required to pay a surtax (between 1 and 40euros) which is destined for the countries, mainly in Africa, but also in S.America, who are suffering enormously from AIDS. The amount raised annually, around 40milliarden, will no doubt pay for an awful lot of condoms, if it ever arrives where it should, and if it doesn't, then- as always, the same people - as always - will be 40 milliarden richer! I wondered if there may be the possibility to do the same thing, but just for one day (I'm not greedy) for the extremely meritable cause "Mr le Marquis du Galipot" - I would be extremely grateful, and would finally be able to pay my hospital bills, here in the SO advanced country of France! ******************************************************************************** Money again! Nothing changes, French excavators have turned up a whole batch of ancient coins, from the e...
