Ooops. Major gaffe! I stand corrected.

But they did look awfully worn and tired-out.

And that guy, PPDA, what's with the haircut? Why not leather and ray-bans then.

How dare you insult PPDA's hair, you fake Frenchman, you!

He has an annual implant addition, it's something the French watch out for. So what if the result looks like a dog-chewed rug? It's a French institution!

For PPDA fun you should watch the Guignols de l'Info on Canal Plus at around 8 pm. Introduced by a PPDA puppet.

a dog-chewed rug...

A most apt description. You have a way with words, sir.

We don't subscribe to Canal Plus, and while I know OF Les Guignols, I'm afraid that, with the exception of the occasional clips and a few segments taped by a friend for us a long time ago, we're a bit out of that cultural loop.

We don't subscribe either. Les Guignols is en clair, free of charge.

Really? I thought it was a paychannel 24/7.  

When is it?

There is an free tranche every day between 6pm or so to 8:30pm

Les Guignols are at 8pm (or just a copule minutes before).

In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes

Thanks! I'll try to see if I can catch it.

I was not aware of this.  That's really quite a good idea.  Is it a canal plus business decision or a legislated requirement of the govt?

Just commercial, I think. A teaser.
