FiveX France: Les glaneurs glanent

http://fivexfrance.blogspot.com/2009/01/les-glaneurs-glanent.html

I am listening to an interview with a 'glaneur'on the radio. Liked his attitude better than his unsympathetic interviewer. In a country where eloquent, sometimes empty (a cultural judgement, I recognize) debate is such a part of the fabric of interaction, this interviewer comes across as unprepared, disinterested, and rather too well-fed, il fait son job, quoi. I note that he is not on strike today, no time. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Sous La Coupole', home of the Académie française.

And taxi drivers are joining the fisherman strike melee. Quimper, Arcachon, Cherbourg -fishermen still striking over the price of petrol and it is still spreading to other countries in EU such as Portugal, Spain, and Italy. Also joined by some farmers and from Rennes to Caen, operation escargot. Les maisons troglodytiques (aka caves built into the cliffs), the neighbor's and Martin's roofs. I'm staying close to home today as there are demonstrations at 18:00 although I have not yet heard exactly where.

Strike Watch - Opération Escargot. While taxis are far from numerous, I can’t imagine what this will do Parisian congestion. It would be nice to think it will be just as easy to hail a taxi as in New York or London, but will it? Let’s see how this plays out. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Ebay fined in protection of LVMH. Techdirt reports on the very bad French ruling against Ebay for $63,000,000 because of the sale of counterfeit LVMH. The court holding Ebay responsible for the actions of those using the platform. Provides a very good reason to do business anywhere but France if you are in the business of providing platforms. Moved to New York for the summer, updates when I get out from under! This sweet corner of Paris,. From inside Le Rouvray. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Students were striking in several cities today to protest the suppression of I forget how many jobs. Can you tell I am getting bored writing about strikes all of the time? The Restaurant Rule of Good Bread equaling Bad Food. Tried out the new incarnation of Caf é. Des Lettres the other night with a friend. Used to be a great place, casual, steady, light but substantial Swedish fare, and sometimes nothing else seemed so right as that menu. Is, 'the better the bread, the worse the meal'. Yes, the taxis wer...

You've got to love his sense of humour, a Halloween rift on Damien Hirst's 100 million dollar skull. You can make it too, by spraying a small pumpkin with silver paint, and then encrusting $40 worth of fine rhinestones. Sarkozy divorce captures headlines over the general strike. On strike for 24 hours:. Even the opera was canceled. Vandal punches hole in a Monet at the Musee D'Orsay. But frankly, how stupid is that? Best chocolates in Paris. I have forgotten the name! 3 They have chocolate covered confit...
