olivier in france

i keep all my concert and ticket stubs for decades and you're right Chef, it's a shame, with internet reservations, mail ordering and other modern way to buy them, that they are now just ugly pieces of paper with bar codes and stupid ads.

Crayonz, don't forget that Clemens is not only white, but a texan and a conservative! a perfect guy for any conspiracy stuff! When trolling , troll as deep as you can!

??? OK smart boy, you should explain me how and when Continental Europe will not be 6 hours ahead of the Eastern Coast of the USA ... Looks like it's the case 24/24 365/365... (well in fact there's a week each october when there is only a 5 hours differential)

why ? you're moving to Asia?

yeah that's what i was thinking about . A pretty cool process as you say!

easier to open

see we can agree on something!!

Actually 6 hours. That's why i'm smarter than you, i live in the future!!

OK OK i believe you're sincere and even i don't agree i respect that. But DC, just a question: If politicians have a real power on the economy, is it good or bad?

you're right Dean the "refill" is mainly done for Champagne. I don't think any winery producing wine that need long aging "plays" with its old bottles refilling them... (the rule being once it's in the bottle you don't touch it, while there's refilling during all the time the wine is in barrels) . and for the cork debate ... that screw top thing reminds me of the pasteurized milk used for cheese instead of raw milk : you lower the risk the product goes bad but at the end you don't reach the top level of quality you can reach using the higher risk method.

Well that's the most important part in politics! Come on Republicans it's not because the Dems have written the budget of Bush's last two years that the economy has gone so bad!!

Can you explain me how a democrat senator can have any real influence on the US government actions of a republican President? I understand he may have helped in vetoying some Bush administration plans but come on it's not the obstruction of a couple of bills that has changed anything in the state of the economy (and frankly LAbills fan you're very naive thinking there is any difference between the US economy - or any national economy- and the world economy)

It's not really what i'll call "influence the play calling".... and anyway we have seen the results... and in fact it's probably a good reason why Sports fans should NOT have influence on the way "their" teams are managed and why politicians should NOT have influence on the way the economy is managed!

Franckly you can attack Obama on a lot of things but the influence an US Senator may have on the world economy is about as big as the influence a Bills fan may have on the play calling of the team!

well i don't see that much change... this board has never been balanced, as far as i can remember it has been about 70% conservative /30% liberal (even if a part of our conservatives like to call themselves libertarians, anti politician or "free spirits")

well a little more than the old school "classical" politician.

The same for a 1973 Montrachet i have ... well i was born in 1973... probably should drink it the year i die!!

i agree but i don't think they'll ever use anything but the classical cork for wines to be kept for more than 5-8 years.

looks like a good deal... what's the current rate of the euro vs the dollar?

thanks for the tip, i'll check that band!

Does Ruppert Murdoch own the "Jerusalem Post" or is it just a good imitation?

Sarkozy loves the spotlights and he hates it when he has to share them! Fact is Sarkozy is probably the only frenchman who ever called GWB a "friend"... On Turkey the issue is purely domestic as the french are hugely against Turkey in the EU.

and domestic politics. mainly domestic politics in fact
