Under the Influence nr 1

http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dchktwkh_999ftc2h Under the influence? A series of stories from memory - Montpellier CHU February 2006 At the period when these “events” either happened or didn’t happen, I was in the Intensive Care department of the Central Hospital Unit at Montpellier, France. The same authority where “Nostradamus” had studied many centuries before, I can hardly imagine that this has any relevance, but since I find that the events could be construed as “a look into a possible future”, I simply mention the fact! I have no idea whether these events were simply as a result of the medical treatment involved (high doses of morphine based medicaments) or whether they actually did happen. Proof is not available, but I write down the events as I thought they happened, either as proof of a vivid imagination, or proof of “hidden activities” within Hospital (and other) closed societies! Although only 4 months have passed, I find that I am slowly forgetting details, and at the sa

And that's a fact!

French Sunday!

Image
( read the small print!) Today is Sunday 22nd April 2007, and things are slowly getting started. The first Voters, half of them with brains mashed from the Saturday evening out, and on their way back from the various night clubs, pass quickly through the Voting Offices at 8am, so as to be undisturbed for the rest of the Sunday "sleep-off", and the other half (the pensioners and older people) who can't sleep longer than 4-5 hours a night anyway, pass through, and then wonder what to do for the rest of this Sunday! French Saturday night occupations! In fact, various other "enterprises" profit more than others on days like these! At 7.30am, the Institution of the Eglise profit from the situation, knowing that the elderly ladies who frequent the Sunday mess will be accompanied (for a change) maybe by their husbands, effectively doubling the congregation, and after the mess, everyone will trudge to their various polling stations, vote and "Hubbie" will take

French leave!

( my mate Chippie coming back from the Local Village Fete!) So, so - Your holidays are almost upon us! How about learning this year a few more things about France and the French? Here are a few ideas, some useful, some factual, others not worth a dime/cent! If you think this is an exaggeration, be warned, this is the typical situation in France, particularly when we know that the Tourists are coming! Don't get upset, just ask the wife - she'll generally know what to do! Only thing she won't know how to do is reply to the French Gendarme who wants to arrest you for being somewhere you didn't ought to be! This is where this little article could come in handy! A few facts: In France, the National Gendarmerie live in Casernes, just like the Military, because that's what they are, a branch of the French Army! The local Police, called Police Municipale, are entitled to carry arms as well, but apart from that, they are of no use at all, and very difficult to find, partic

Ian-Homme de Provence , originally uploaded by iwmpop . A bit darkish, but a Tinkerbelle creation! August 2006-Campagne. Old man - straw hat - Gauloises somewhere - Olives in the background - litre of "rouge" and a baguette not far out of reach! A Hemingway double? This one knows "for whom the bell tolls" and he hears them "tolling" every day, often, at his home Village! (Can be brightened up on your own Photo Editor!)-This is a scanned photo.

GANDAR-the beastly story!

Image
This is the "beastly" story of "Gandar"= A legendary bull from the area covered by this map (you can click to increase size,I hope) Gandar is immortalized in various ways, recently by the installation of a statue in stone in the village of Vauvert (see link to "Vauvertvillage"). The story goes that Gandar started his career as a perectly normal bull, at the Manade Blatiere,doing "bullish" things in the area.Around 1942 he was born, and passed into the arenas for the traditional Camarguaise festivals, and proved his worth by taking out a few of the local raseteurs (those people who try to get rings onto the bulls horn). His career took off one day when he was being transported back home and the transporter literally exploded at the railway level crossing in the village of Vauvert. He was badly injured, one of his horns being torn off in the accident. The owner decided that rather than having him put down, and probably sold as the main ingredien

R,R and R's!

(reeds in the Camargue) Nope-it's not rest and recreation, Army style - R,R ans R's represents the area of France in which Mr le Marquis resides - "reeds,rice and 'rigglers! For those of you who may not know the area, or have vaguely heard of it, somewhere, or indeed for those of you who may like to visit the area, here is a little trip! This is a fairly typical view of the Camargue, being situated along the shores of the Med. sea, les etangs (lakes), with a varied nature . In fact the area has more than people think - it is, for example, Europe's largest producer of rice, particularly the "natural" rice (brown and not white). Buildings like the one below were built to accomodate, originally, the workers in the reed industry, and this industry is still the biggest in Europe today, although the buildings have passed into legend, or have become hunting lodges/gites for the tourists/occasionally a meeting point for locals. (Typical thatched roof in Camar

Something entirely new!

All over? Finished chasing/searching for your eggs? Well - now relax and click onto the new link above, or on this one: http://picasaweb.google.com/iwmpop There are HUNDREDS of my preferred photos (some from me, some from others- actually this page has existed for a long time, and I thought I'd already given the link, but apparantly not). Photos are being added all the time under various album headings. Simple to use, you can download and print as you wish, always on the same principle "personal usage - FREE" and "Professionals - ask!" This page will be taking over from the "Flickr" based Photo accounts, until such time as Flickr can get their problems sorted out! (Since being bought by "Yahoo" the thing hardly works, and is not as "sympathetic" as before)
