    No thanks...

        According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe.

                12-tone series. (Knew my feeble pun attempt would pass everyone by )

                Serial music has been declared outmoded by the People's Commission for the Restoration of Easily Understood Chordal Relationships Mass Media Lobby Group and its findings universally accepted and applied.

                    Just caught up. A few snippets:

                    - baguettes aren't French
                    - scum rises to the top
                    - Le Corbusier was a peasant

                    As a retired teacher, I'm very much into outrageous self-parody. As pointed out in a message above, there were some lovely examples of this in his presentational style.

                            Our Jonathan was on good form to night. He began as "Le boeuf sur le toit" and ended needing to remember that "à cheval donné, on ne regarde pas la bouche". I hope his neighbours are still talking to him.

                              Yes, JM seems to have taken to La France; I wonder if La France will take to him, remembering warnings from my father about French pride in its culture. One of Meades' best efforts I've seen.

                                Today Jonathan gave all the French Presidents, a few Mayors and several architects well deserved coups de pied dedans leurs culs . He described beautifully the corrupt urban sprawl of the Vendee and Bordeaux . A shame it is the last programme.
