I received this email from my friend Georges (from France). Translated loosely, it loses a bit but is still quite funny… "Dear Friends, Zidane’s head butt has made a lot of ink flow and a lot of lips flap and it seems everyone has an opinion. Thank God for this debate that will fuel the news an...

And Zinedine, you who above all others should know how to act like a grown man - do me a favour, pal! He managed single-handedly to sour the whole thing. He'd better have a good excuse tomorrow. :evil: Well, for one, imagine playing for 110 minutes under pressure, last game of your career, World Cu...

The prices listed are "target" prices, in the best of worlds... I'll consider all "reasonable" offers.
Thanks,

Thanks Bloomie,

I am fine. Just need to cover unexpected expenses and can't justify owning too many whistles right now.

Re: OT: "Fahrenheit 9/11" WINS Cannes' Palme d'Or

Interestingly, the president of the 2004 Jury was not Jean-Luc Godard or some other European crypto-communist, but... Quentin Tarantino.

Damn, I'm old enough to remember whan Sandy Shaw won it, bare feet and all.
