On the contrary, I think he's very focused. More red blood than blue I'd say, given the direction of his gaze.Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View PostComment

Speaking (as we were before big pictures of scroungers and Stalinists began to appear) of restaurants in France: here in the balmy Balkans, lunch is generally eaten at 2pm or later, and every time we're in France outside the big cities there is at least one day when it's forgotten that this is the time when restaurants close for the afternoon, which seriously spoiled a visit to the aforementioned (in another thread) Brioude two months ago. (Are there any good restaurants in Brioude? I have no idea, having had instead to buy sandwiches at a supermarket.) With the benefit of hindsight (and a non-empty stomach) it makes me happy that in a country that receives so many tourists you have to do things their way or go hungry.Comment

"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Spain (or at least those parts of it - principally Catalunya - that I've visited) tends to have a similar situation in which they start to eat lunch when the French finish doing so.Originally posted by Richard Barrett View PostComment
