There's nothing guttural in French, it's nasal.

What's your favoured line-up for the French team at Euro 2008, Sylvain? Here's my go at picking a team: LLORIS SAGNA - GALLAS - THURAM - EVRA RIBERY - FLAMINI - DIABY- MALOUDA ANELKA - HENRY SUBS: COUPET, CLICHY, SAGNOL, BOUMSONG, MAKELE, VIERRA, DIARRA (L), SISSE, BENZEMA. What do you think? Am I ...

Here in France we have a president who would like to become your president. Aren't you interested? He can be the Democrat AND Republican candidate, he likes American movies, Elvis Presley, etc. and he doesn't like to read books.

Tocharian, I did not forget you but I didn't remember where the hell was the Roundandaround CD. I thought I had the Story of Electricity vinyl but I maybe sell it some years ago (musically, it's close to Roundandaround , so it's not always very good). First there's a 12" ( Dub & Die ) and a...

The fact that French are always on strike is a bit of a myth now. It was true in the 60s or 70s but not now. It has been said that during these last years, trains and urban transports had 1,5 day of strike/year. Of course there will be more than 1,5 day this year but I can understand them: they sign...

who is your most hated football club of all time? It's not funny to make fun of the handicapped but this league table is making me happy: http://www.fcmetz.com/resultats.php?page=classement&id=2007 All clubs are putting the league table on the front page, it's not the case of the FC Metz as the...
