Auld lang syne.....?

So there we are! It's finally finished, all the various winners have returned as heros (or otherwise) to their respective countries, where they can start kitting themselves out in Army Uniforms, ready for the next combat - probably against the Chinese...! Against all Western expectations, Mao did NOT descend from wherever to carry the flame, and the hoped for Meterological conditions did not happen either. In fact the Olympic flame probably contributed to any planet warming effects more than the actual traffic circulation. Western Athletes who turned up in Michael Jackson style masks were disappointed! The chinese population, finding mainly that their incomes were not up to the entrance prices, stayed at home in front of small and gigantic screens - just like the other supporters during the Soccer World Cup, and other "massive public" sports events, leaving the coast free for the privileged and rich! The plebs and "normal" citizens had fulfilled their role -

just one of iwmpop's articles from other sites.

blueVicar …for writing and reading stories about life abroad… « madeleine: Tock, tick, tock madeleine: Pallindromic moments » a Centre Ville story by mr. le Marquis who lives in France for sites.jpg >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Adventures – not so long ago! I remember a time (like many of you, without doubt) not so long ago, when a voyage was an adventure. In the space of a couple of days, within Europe, we changed systems, languages, currency, standards of living, among many other things. I recall when even a trip to France was fraught with problems, difficulties, amusing situations, dangerous situations. Starting with the very vehicle

On m'a dit - chez Google - que la système est en train d'être répare....! Mais - si vous voulez voir l'article sur "La vie Familiale-style Française" allez sur www.marquisdugalipot.blogspot.com ou vous pouvez le consulter/voir - en Français, bien sur!

Une famille en OR....!

La vie familiale-style Française! ( Éditée après des évènements fin Août 2008) (semble être une carte postale, non...? Mais c'est plus sinistre que ça!) Famille-Amies? On ne peut pas choisir la Famille dans laquelle on est née - dommage! Des petits actes de vengeance, même quand ils touchent des autres, qui n'ont rien a se reprocher, font partie de presque toutes les familles - dommage! Mais, il en a des limites, et je crois que dans ce cas précis, les limites ont été dépassées, il y a longtemps. Semble-t-il que le besoin de se venger a pris contrôle et passe avant toute autre sentiment humain, sans parler des sentiments qu'on appelle "affaires familiale". Pour ma part, je n'ai pas tellement la problème, ma propre famille se trouve partout dans ce monde, et nous avons peu de contacte, mais la famille concernée dans cette triste histoire se prends comme "famille proche"! Personnellement, je crois

Ever needed or wanted to try and trace somebody...? This is a programme I use to trace quickly and easily. If you want full details, it can come in a little expensive, but the free tracing, which often will carry the current telephone number can often be enough! Where is the Aunt who promised you a fortune? Sometimes it's a little tragic, when you see the various "death" notices - someone you lost touch with, and you're not likely to be able to contact them now - at least NOT in this world....!

Old favourites...?

EVEN SO............! I've just been having a quick look through older documents, and at this time of the year, when writing is not the first thing in mind, I thought it would do no harm in republishing the one or other of the old articles. If there is an article you vaguely remember and you'd like to read it again, let me know, or try the following: Don't forget that you can see the originals (and there are over 1600 postings in this blog!) by going to the "ARCHIVES" button, where you can choose a particular month of a particular year. I think it will soon be 5 years that I've been blogging my way around, and beleive me - there have been a LOT of changes! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Read more articles from iwmpop – Mr le Marquis Lo

Mr le marquis was born in Scotland, hence this creation! He hopes it might upset a few English, still paying their NHS/Chemist/Nursing home bills! Mr le marquis était née en Écosse donc....

It still appears to be that "missionary" thing! Seems that Western powers, and in particular "Christian" based countries (be they in the north or south hemisphere) just cannot help themselves. If something ain't Christian, then it has to be converted or "missionarized"! It's been like that for countless centuries, leading to millions of deaths, leading to multitudes of criminal acts, and always leading to the enrichment of the missionaries and/or their Institutes. Normal families wrenched out of normal situations and forced to change - "for their own good!" Well - they've always been the most revolting show of arrogance and egoism - small people who would otherwise have had no importance or interest to anyone. China - is it Christian...? No....? Well - ok, in that case it's fair game. Africa..? God made it for us, didn't he, so what are all those blacks doing there...and are they Christian..etc..etc..! News channels, newsp
