Who's to say one persons opinion is more intelligent than another persons.
Saying that, it's been pretty quiet since I joined. Mostly it's quite helpful, but there isn't really any general chat.

By definition, it's an intelligent comment when the thread stops

IMO it's much quicker these days to get a direct answer than it used to be.
Better for getting info, but not so good for adding your little bit and joining in.

There's no guarantee he'll still be around in 2017. 
He may go the same way as Ayrault.This will be an especially tough week for the government.
Today sees the vote of confidence, with reports showing that Valls is confident in spite of the thirty or so agitators. Result tonight at 7:30.
And Thurs evening sees Flamby's much awaited press conference, and to see if he dare shift from his pacte de responsabilité. Many are saying if he doesn't it's curtains, and if he does the opposition(s) will still have a field-day.

Manuel Valls? There's no guarantee he'll still be around in 2017. He may go the same way as Ayrault.

Val50 used to be the moderator in this forum. She and I are friends in real life and I can report that she's well. I can not report that this is the case with her husband, a lovely man, though. He's currently under treatment for a rare form of leukaemia. Which is not good.

Novo,
When you reach France for your permanent retirement, there's one thing you will probably be asked:-
Q. How can one tell the difference between a Canadian and a Frenchman?
A. A Canadian can make love standing up in a canoe......
I can see you getting many standing ovations from strollers in the Jardin des Tuileries.

Q. Why is making love in a canoe the same as american beer?
A. They're both f***ing close to water.
