    Let us do away with the riffraff and get to the point. Is DD going to post a CCC today or not?

    If the unavailability of CP has spread from the valleys, he may not be able to post.

      Half of France is crying, the other half is celebrating the new president. Most of these people are in vacation, as tomorrow is a holiday.

        We're not allowed to have labour day as the Conservative party (if my friends on FaceBook are a representative sample) doesn't like being reminded of the tawdry business of actually making money through actual work. Even the US keeps "Labor Day". Depsite May Day being a traditional holiday, we have spring bank holiday and hold it a week later instead, to prove it is different. Though the French elections are cause for celebration, the markets will overreact and bring business and money our way. Or they'll totally overreact and Europe will sink & we'll all be on a famous river missing a vital bit'o'rowing equiment. I hope it's the former.:~

          I know it's a holiday in the UK, but where is the rest of the witty repartee? How am I supposed to drink coffee all morning without a load of silly messages, I might have to check twatter instead...

                Radio 4 this Morning "You've got to feel sorry for Sarkozy, he is the shortest serving predisdent under 5th Repulic [pause][pause] at only n years" How do the French get through republics so quickly? We're only on our 2nd monarchy, and that was a continuation of the 1st.

                          A tad rude, but quite accurate :) And it could be that the 6th is on the way -- not that we intend to lose anything in the next years, but the current system is completely old-fashined.
