Right, the ex-banker who has promised to:

- Slash public sector jobs
- Cut local authority budgets
- Almost halve corporation tax
- Reduce enforcement of the 35-hour working week

Admittedly his plans to introduce national service, hire thousands more police and fund thousands more prison spaces do all sound a lot like the France we've come to know and love, but he's not even close to being the man of the people that you seem to think he is.


Sorry you filthy asian slut, but the commie here is donelladan, not me.

All the reforms you ve mentioned here are great.


By the way, I'm reading stuff about the odd couple right now. So his wife had 3 kids, one of which was in class with Emmanuel, and now he is playing grandpa with their kids :lol: :lol:
I don't know, do you imagine marrying one of your high school teachers, mother of one of your classmates (friend, probably?) and be the grandpa of your classmate's friend's kids?? :lol:

Congratulations France. The timeline of ISE is going on as scheduled. Sucks to be you.
Then again, it always sucks to be you. The French "Revolution" was another example of "sucks to be you."

Nothing to do with this topic.
Sorry to be just a french guy, and a non natural english speaking, but why guys are you so lazy to speak only with acronyms? not everyone is smart enough to understand what you're talking about ... Laziness or pedantry?

Here we have tzor with ISE. So is he talking about Internet Servor Error?... hum no, it can't be. Istanbul or Irish Stock Exchange? hum perhaps but no. Intelligence Support Element? Internal Success Environment? Institut SupƩrieur de l'Entreprise? International Securities Exchange, could be...

Sorry it falls on you tzor...

To come back on subject, let see next legislative election, before expanding us on political theories... He will be able of nothing if he doesn't have majority on assemblƩe.

He wasn't my choice on 1st turn, let see what he will be able to do... It will be difficult to do worse than we already had.

Tzor is the village idiot here DjƩ, don't bother. The kind of hardcore trump voter who believes in creationism and conspirationist theories. A computer nerd posting pictures of his ugly face so we can all make fun of him. Life has given him some hard time and he doesn't understand much about anything. He does try though, but he can't remove his blinders.

Hey Tzor, how are you today? Tell us about the old computers you were dealing with in the 80s again!

The worst part about the French election is watching American and British fancy lad news anchors try to outdo each other in their Gallic pronunciation of MACRON ... they all turn it into a one-syllable, 13 letter word that involves spitting saliva ... "maahhhhhchro" "maahhhhhchro" "maahhhhhchro."

Just say MA-KRON like the rest of us.

Our forefathers conquered Quebec so we'd have the right to mispronounce French words. Completely disrespectful.

the first part is completely straight forward, yeah, pronounce it "makr", but the "on" is the hard to explain part...

Betiko do you know the purpose of the pompon? Or are they strictly decorative?

I think it decorative ( not sure of which you re thinking of?) but there are in many other cultures, like the brits have much more than us on uniforms and traditional clothes.

Your video reminded me that toques had Pompons on them when I was a kid but now they usually do not. I was wondering if there was a purpose for them I was not aware of.

I could see where putting them on a draw string would make it easier to pull with mitts on. Possibly the same on top of a toque, it might be easier to pull it off if you wanted tho cool down a bit.
