Anyway, it is depressing here and I plan to move as soon as possible. Good, I'm pleased to hear it. You and Pio are very bad, bashing the French. Xenophobia is not attractive. Did you like that big word??? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

BTW, my subordinate is away "sick" today. She knows I'm meant to be on my course and now I can't leave the office unmanned(womanned) so I miss out YET AGAIN.

Jen,
You have misused the "big word".
From somewhere online.
Noun 1. xenophobia - an irrational fear of foreigners or strangers.
1. It is not irrational to hate France;
2. It is not a fear, just a dislike.

I remember the neutron bomb and it would be perfect. But could we please get rid of some ugly landscape artifacts while we are at it, like that silly tower they all seem to love over there.

Tod, careful what you wish for, there is a French artifact holding a petrified torch on this side of the ocean.
... and don't even get near Copacabana, Guanabara Bay Rio de Janeiro and it's landmark Christ of open arms, another French present. You know they had a short colony in Salvador the Bahía, was it Bahía or Recife? My head is so empty since the French left.
Lucky Mexico didn't get such friendly mementos. Could they still be angry about the Napoleon III army defeat, May 5th, 1864?

Satie, Purcell, even the French popular songs and of course two centuries of literature and painting.
Edit to add:
[color:"brown"] Hector Berlioz, Fantastic Sympony. Pierre Boulez, Concrete Music. [/color]

Wait! I know how to empty France of the French! Pass a law for a minimum 40 hour work week AND eliminate lunch vouchers! Oh, and outlaw Jerry Lewis!

I saw the results of the enquete. France is the country where people work less hours per year. US is on the rank where people work more, behind some Asian countries, like South Korea that came first place.
Pio... that name sounds familiar, do you visit here offten?

France is the country where people work less hours per year. Undoubtedly the reason for its poor showing in the world GDP per capita rankings. Click link for rankings. GDP Per Capita Rankings
