		<description><![CDATA[Yes the incumbent French President will retain his post &#8211; it is the only logical outcome &#8230; or so my English friends seemed to think when I gauged their analytical brains last week on a short trip to London. The media too seemed to agree with them &#8211; headlines like &#8220;Too close to call&#8221; implying [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; shame I didn&#8217;t place a bet. Or rather, was unable to place a bet. I spent some forty minutes or so before the &#8216;off&#8217; trying, in vain, to get access to my Ladbrokes account in order to stick four pounds each way on Neptune Collonges. However, my efforts proved fruitless. So it was with [...]]]></description>

Each year these fifty or so celebrities tour the nation with a show to raise money for the national soup-kitchen charity <em>Restos du Cœur</em> (Restaurants of the heart). All very admirable.

As ever, I&#8217;m happy to offer advice wherever I can, however if you there&#8217;s anything you think you can add (particularly the part about rights for US citizens in France) &#8211; then please chip-in using the comments [...]]]></description>

I am finally able to present to you, ladies and gentlemen, a whole season of anglophone entertainment, or entertainment for anglophones if you prefer, in our dear city of Strasbourg.  Come one, come all, come numerously&#8230; and quit whining that there&#8217;s nothing to do around here!

		<description><![CDATA[Far from being an exact science, the act of translating from language to another can be full of pitfalls, which is why it is considered such an art-form.  As I have already highlighted here in a number of posts, the precise meaning or sentiment of a phrase can often go awry due in part to [...]]]></description>

I apologise if you are easily offended.  I must admit though my sense of humour is partly to blame. Of course [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[<img class="alignright" title="spinning tops" src="http://images.king-jouet.com/6/GU149112_6.jpg" alt="spinning tops" width="100" />Our Christmas this year was dominated by the toy that has every French school-boy under the age of ten going nuts. They call it Toupie; and they play Toupie at breaktime, Toupie at lunchtime, Toupie after school and Toupie at home. It's like a perpetual conker season without the conkers (buck eyes) [...]]]></description>
