On France, interim comment
I am afraid that my further commentary on this issue - of deep interest to me due to its Maghrebine connexions and profound longer term implications - is on hold for the moment, I have two conference calls with the United States scheduled this evening and a metric fucking ton of bloody revisions to a completely messed up technical translation to effect.
(Bloody translators, however inefficient it is to use my time on this, they're so fucking incompetent there is little other choice but have polishing).
In the interim I would like to direct you to Dave Schuler's blog (whose name irritates me but I am an irritable fellow then, am I not?) who has, thanks to literacy in the Language of Moliere, had reasonable commentary and updates.
I intend to return to plunge into this from my perspective looking across the Med and my connexions with the Franco-Maghrebine business community - it should I hope be of utility, at least far more so than that blithering idiot Totten and his typically illiterate blundering commentary.
When, of course, depends on rather more immediate interests, like my greed.

A small, unrelated reminder -

Yes, well, great. Hope to beable to join but odds against. Gulf.

Eh, who needs the Gulf anyway? We should all be using hydroelectric and solar.

Well, we should all live perfectly sin free lives as well, but the praticality of the same is at the same level.
However, the Gulf has the money, and I am the man on the valuation excercise, so....

So the best case scenario is you popping up out of nowhere after a last-minute phonecall?
Posted by: eerie at November 8, 2005 07:15 PM
Yes.

Very well, Mr Bond.

What, you two aren't on a first-name basis yet?
Posted by: Eva Luna at November 8, 2005 09:24 PM
The dialogue among the three of you, about 3 days 3 hours. . . then two plus a first name..... I think we need to retire the number three on these blogs.

My first name is a need to know thing.

So if you manage to tear yourself away long enough for a cup of coffee or whatever, shall we call you Mr. Bond, or do you prefer to go by James among personal acquaintances?

Lounsbury, The Lounsbury. Maybe Collier. Or even my real name (or more accurately, that part of it I use, insofar as Lounsbury etc. is also...)
Posted by: The Lounsbury at November 9, 2005 09:34 AM
E&E - I recommend sticking with Lounsbury. The real name may be infinitely worse - Percival, or Barry.

Well, as long as we're talking WASP usage, I already have a cat named Sir Galahad.
