    In my experience the French are very sceptical about their politicians and also not too enamoured of the EU's drive towards closer political unity and uniformity in all things.Β  Β They are also disillusioned with Macron's early promise as a reasonable, pragmatic, centrist man.Β  In his reactions and attitudes to Brexit and the Covid pandemic and the AZ vaccine he has shown himself to be unreasonable and reactionary rather than pro-active and rational.

    This leads the way open for the newly branded Rallye National (ex Front National) under Marine Le Pen to take a large swing of votes in forthcoming elections.Β  Β  Some people are also talking of turning to Sarkozy again tho he may be in prison by the time the elections come round.

    I've got a 45 minute wait at the station for my train and someone somewhere has some thudthudthudthudthud music playing. Not very loud just loud enough to annoy the hell out of me and be antisocial. I just can't work out where it's coming from.

    Is it impolite to find out who it is and shut them up byΒ  ramming the bleeding thing so far down their throat the surgeons go the other way to get it out? Or do youΒ think my nearly 2m height will be enough to intimidate them into turning it off.Β 

    I'm a really nice guy and gentle giant but loud music is a form of imposition on everyone else that always makes me get annoyed.

    If only I had a means to play loud music in retaliation. What would you play in an attempt to make them realise playing music in public is antisocial? A touch of Bing? Or how about spitting image holiday song. Black lace or rick roll them with a bit of Rick Astley? What is really annoying to those who might like dance music?Β

    Really loud brass band music? Or a blast of Motorhead?

    Just having a bit of a sit down after being hit in the gentleman's region by a hard plastic squeeky Xmas robin dog toy thrown with commendable force and accuracy by a small childΒ  :|Β  By the feel of it it impacted beak first.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Wild edges,if you can sit down, it's not that bad haha. Our border collie jumped in my old man's the other day. Have you heard the one about trying to force a rugby ball out of a toothpaste tube,with the ensuing agony,I leave you with that thought
