From February - The Changing

We are living in a world that is having a change lots of the times. We are being seeing the effects of this changing in the every day all over the world, and it is not just being in one place at once and another place, and it is not just the thing about the culture, but the culture is being forced sometimes to catch up. If you are not fully sure what it is that I am talking about, let me explain:

Since I have been coming in this country, I am thinking that I have been finding out much about the English people, and that is not always easy, as being the English is not being a constant thing. For example you English are now much more likely to be considering yourselves English (rather than British) than you were being five years ago. To be honest I am not being entirely sure how this is working, because I am still in the process of understanding the English/Welsh/Scottish/North of Irish confusion, but I understand enough to know that the Scottish people are not liking it when you are calling them English for example. Anyway I have noticed some things that are being English (or British, I am still deciding which), and so when it had been announced in the last year that it was to be illegal to be smoking in places that are public, such as what you call public houses or ‘pubs’ when it is becoming July this year I was not being surprised, as you Great Britains are all ways very much worrying about your health. In a likewise manner I was not being surprised that as soon as the banning smoking was being announced, lots of you are all complaining and moaning like it is being a gigantic injustice, and I expect many English peoples who are smoking will be moaning about this and the weather while they are standing outside their public house smoking in the rain for many winter for many years to be coming.
So I am beginning to be understanding the temperament of the English and/or British peoples a bit better, but it would seem that in the time I am doing all of this I am losing touch with the temperament of my own peoples a little bit. For it is the France who is the first to be banning the smoking in the public, well in a way one of the ways – the cafes and restaurants are allowed to be waiting until the end of the year that we are just starting – but being never less, the smoking was banned in the public places of France from 1st February 2007. And what did my countrymen do? Nothing really, not a riot, not a sit in, not a protest smoking, nothing, what would Jean Paul Satre say? Well who knows, but he might even say that it’s not so bad really, it’s not being a repression of, or an imposition upon the great French people, because they have been willing it themselves, they have wanted this change, even most of the smokers are thinking it is being a good idea. So maybe there is not being a change in the temperament for my countrymen, maybe there is being a change in the attitudes of the Mankind, brought about by the understanding of the science and the concern for the being well of all of the people.

From January - The Global World Ordering

And so it is that I have finally been finding a word that is like the plural ‘vous’ that is so useful when dressing the all of you, and this word is being ‘yall’. OK so I know it is not really a word English in England, but after an extensive search of England I have been finding nothing except where they are saying ‘yous’ in the northern bit, but this is not necessarily a plural, and whilst the same is being said for ‘vous’, I’m not being sure that ‘yous’ is following any kind of rule at all. So I am left with the ‘yall’, which is only following the most relaxed of rules and is coming from your cousins across the puddle as you say. Now it might be looking like an odd thing for me to want to share with the Americans after the years that have passed recently when they were so rude about the France and her people, calling us ‘the monkeys who eat the cheese of surrender’, but it is not always having been this way. For many years throughout the history of the young nation of the States United of America we were very good friends, united, of course in our hatred of the Englishmen; surrender is what George Washington and his Men Minute would have been doing to the English if it was not for the assistance of his French allies. At least I am thinking this is being the case. And of course, it is having been the French peoples who on the birth of that new nation, as it is being throwing off the shackles of it’s colonial ruler, who gave to the States United their Statue of Liberty, as if we are saying “welcome to the club of the modern world, welcome to the club of the republics.” But it is all being changed since the War of the Second World, and even more so since the war of the second Gulf, and now it is the England that is the friend of both its old adversaries, and the France and US will not be talking too much. But what is being stranger still even more so to my ears is that I am finding out that there was a time when Guy Mollet, the Prime Minister of the France was offering our country to be part of the union of Great Britain as soon back as 1956! And, sacred blue, the English Prime Minister, Mr Anthony Eaten is saying no. This is what is showing everything about the change in nature of the world, as historically the dispute between England and both the France and US is that they (the Englishmen) are not happy about not owning the land of these other countries that they think is rightfully belonging to them. So what is it in 1956 that is stopping Mr Eaten from gripping with two hands what his nation is having been coveting for over 500 years? Is he understanding the changing nature of empire and with it the changing roles of the imperial nations? I’m not being sure, but my guess is being that Mr Eaten could be seeing into the future and was worrying that one day the united country of Great Britainfrance might be run by one Jacques Chirac, and even though he would not be being President (because we would be having a queen) he might have still becoming Prime Minister, even so, even then, no one wants to be imposing that great butter-mouthed oaf on their nation if they can possibly not be doing so. With great fortune however, 2007 is the year in which the France will finally rid herself of this dreadful man. Some of us are hoping that she is making a better choice this time…

Le Wonders Modern

So after the bogging people go and are messing up with the access ways for La Petite Frange, then they are going and changing everything, and making it impossible for me to be making the blog on the old blog place. So here we are being in a new blog place. Are you liking the colour scheming? No? Oh well. I have some old blog that I could not be publishing on the old blog because it was not in the business of being playing balls. So be enjoying it...
