Ace <> spouted the following in Departemente Yorkshire" I replied. Talking at a bus stop in Spain recently to two Moroccan construction workers, we found some commonality in pidgin french. Along come some slightly pink first day Brit tourists and ask me in barnsley accented cse francais when the bus is due. "Abart 'afe an aar lad" I reply

Chapter 1 The peasants ate cheese, until someone came along and threatened them, then they surrendered. Chapter 2 Someone else came along and demanded a fight, the peasants stopped eating cheese, and surrendered. Sometime later they had their yearly bath. Chapter 3 The city folk pissed in the street, until some german bloke came along and demanded a fight, then they surrendered. Sometime later they pretended not to have surrendered. To celebrate they ate cheese and bathed in garlic. Vive la france! Chapter 4 The modern day city folk pissed in the street trying to wash the dogshit away, then some Scottish bloke came along and demanded citizenship, of course they surrendered. Sometime later they pretended not to have surrendered and firebombed his flat. To celebrate they ate cheese and sold him an R1, which may or may not have been fictional, but certainly wasn't made of garlic. Vive le Desmond!
If you think that the state of 'being French' is a purely legal one, i.e. the day they hand you your 'décrêt de naturalisation', along with the letter from the President, and your citizenship appears in the Journal Officiel, you will suddenly and magically become 'French', then you have a long way to go. I'd suggest reading _Qu'est-ce qu'un Français ?_, by Patrick Weil. Subtitled, 'History of French Nationality since the Revolution'.[/QUOTE] which you can, of course, recite from back to front in perfect French while standing on your head and drinking a glass of water. FFS give it a rest. We know no one will ever be as French as you Des, not even someone born in France.
Chicory is the food of weasels, why would such a mighty nation as France entertain the thought of eating it?
Ta fer that. I didn't see his reply. I didn't say that CAT can't cause accidents, because it has been responsible for many an accident. However, as you just said, it can't cause a total structural failure of that magnitude in an aircraft as big as a 747. Not without the regular checks done on aircraft totally missing some major structural weaknesses, anyway.

Cab : Yers. I no longer have time to read ukrm at work, alas. I barely have time to read it at home, let alone post lots, and to think I was once one of the 10 most frequent posters.
Desmond Coughlan had a fit and wibbled..... He's right.
