Cette pièce comique, écrite et mise-en-scène par Mr Alain Chapuis, est un vrai délice. Rempli avec un humour qui permet de se moquer de soi-même, "Nos Amis Les Bobos" est une petite pièce qui remet les snobs Bobos dans leur place. Ma femme et moi avons bien rigolé....

Rugby World Cup 2007 – Opening Round
I was fortunate enough to attend the France versus Argentina match last night (Rugby World Cup 2007) and was flabbergasted by the host's performance. The 17-12 victory by the Argentne Pumas was well merited. Despite a French pack that, contrary to the weight...
Content by day… Looking for meaningfulness

Since when …
"Ch-ch-changes... Time may change me, But I can't trace time." Not alone to think that the USA Today Top 25 pivotal changes (in honour of their 25th anniversary) makes for quite fun reading, found a few other similarly minded posts (including gadling). Among the...

This is a photo of the Hellship Memorial that has just been inaugurated in Olongapo Bay, Philippines, in honor of the many thousands of victims of the infamous Hellships. My grandfather, Lt N Minter Dial, after whom I was named, died on one such ship, the unmarked...
