  1. For the radio, telecommunication & wireless nerds out there, Paris 2024 has released its "Spectrum Management Plan" : https://medias.paris2024.org/uploads/2022/07/Paris2024-220722-Spectrum-Management-Plan-EN.pdf
  2. Journalist and film-maker who investigated corruption in Fifa and the International Olympic Committee. https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/mar/27/andrew-jennings-obituary
  3. I fail to see why you're all panicking. The chances of this woman or her party ever being elected to the Paris town hall are zilch! She belongs to a far left party called "La France Insoumise" (A Rebellious France) led by a fire breathing demagogue called Jean-Luc Mélenchon who still hasn't lived down the humiliation of having lost a presidential election he was probably the only one to think he could win! This call for a referendum is some last ditch & desperate call for attention. Nobody listens what she has to say and no one cares......
  4. <face-palm> You really need to find other sources of information than the xenophobic, lying & Putin snogging Daily Express!! Then again, reading anything else than that useless rag might give you a nose bleed.......
  5. 2023 Rugby World Cup: France beat South Africa and Ireland to host competition
  6. More crucially the debate revealed what a complete fraud and how completely unhinged MLP is. The following clip says it all..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aN4fcjkRCGc Lord preserve us from this nut job!
  7. Those who voted for Brexit last year in order to "stick it up to Cameron and the Tories" without realising the mother of all $h1t-fest it would entail might be wise enough to vote Lib-Dem this time round.....
  8. Remember, this is only a *recommendation* made by a senatorial committee. It has yet to be accepted and implemented......
  9. IOC president 'impressed' by Paris 2024 bid http://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/ioc-olympics-paris-2024-1.3788076
  10. My thoughts entirely .....
  11. The media and bidding team are keeping fairly low key about it at the moment for various reasons. First of all they don't want to get peoples' hopes up only to see them dashed again! ("Once burned, twice shy"). Secondly we're a year away from the vote and all the journos here are mainly concentrating on the may 2016 presidential & parliamentary elections. However the bid was frequently mentioned by pundits and medal winners during Rio 2016......
  12. The by-laws banning the wearing of 'burkinis' on French beaches have just been quashed by the French supreme court......
  13. Stefan, Before throwing mud at my country you should be asking yourself what role your country played in making an already volatile situation in Europe even worse by your Merkel's cynical and self serving actions. By opening the floodgates to millions of refugees (many of whom were simple economic migrants) she probably thought she could cherry pick the best for her domestic industry then offload the rest of the unwanted to the other EU citing "European solidarity". Her cynical plan went pear shaped when her European neighbours saw through her plan and refused to play ball. Not a day goes by without your gutter press reporting an incident involving an asylum seeker. Let's now see how the elections work out next year in Germany shall we.....
  14. I'm on my summer holidays on the south coast not a million miles from Nice. My family and me are OK. Thanks to all the well-wishers here and also to the BBC and the Proms for that wonderful gesture.....
  15. "Frexit" is just some BS story made up by UKIP who've got a victory through barefaced lying and don't know what to do with it. France is one of the founding members of the EEC/EU with Germany and Benelux and won't hold any kind of referendum any time soon. Believe you me.......
  16. Those who voted 'out' should demand from the future British government that £350 million be injected every week into the economy. Love to see you talk yourself out of that one Boris!
  17. I followed the whole debate on British TV and sometimes couldn't believe the complete BS being uttered by the Leave camp. It was clear that any meaningful discussion was being hijacked by a debate on immigration. If the Remain camp's stance on that subject was maladroit , the brexiters (brex$hitters?) ran a campaign which, in the words of John Major, verged on the squalid. They deliberately confused the issue between EU and non EU immigrants knowing full well that what was itching jobless workers, UKIP supporters and sympathisers was the latter, much less the former. 'Leave' have now pulled off the biggest con trick in British political postwar history. I just hope they don't live to regret it......
  18. He's Tony's long lost American cousin!!
  19. Only if you’re cross-eyed and overdid the moonshine!! It’s just as daft as saying that LA chose Marianne, the symbol of the French Republic, as its logo. What a huge oversight……
  20. If you think for one second that Paris, or any other European capital for that matter, could be ‘enticed’ into bidding again after a fourth upset then you are living in cloud cuckoo land! Most posters on this MB have perfectly well understood from the word ‘go’ that what is at stake today for the IOC is the very survival of the SOGs in Europe. The IOC knows, as it’s been said and repeated here, that LA would bid again in 2028 or even 2032. Paris wouldn’t. And probably neither would any other European A lister. Any other aspect of the bid is just hot air…..
  21. How's the gas leak? http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/07/us/california-governor-declares-emergency-over-los-angeles-gas-leak.html?_r=0 https://hereandnow.wbur.org/2016/01/20/la-gas-leak-legislation
  22. ....which is another way of saying "I know where the bodies are buried" !!
