  1. oh yes! i even got a passport to prove it! and thank you, i was about to forget i had to stop at the town house this morning as it's the last day to be included on the electorate lists ! as we vote for the european constitution next year, the "yes " vote thanks you i 'd have completly forgotten to do it without your question!
  2. that's how they call this part of the world yes, well that's how they call it elsewhere because here everybody call it "Pays Basque Nord" (northern Basque country), and i personaly call it "my new home" (my home being my dear Alps)
  3. Over??? Man we'll see that tomorrow, Chiristmas 'd be a piece of cake without New year's eve, i'm gonna work the whole day , then come back home for at least 3 hours of cooking, then it's gonna be 3-4 hours of eating and drinking then my wife expects me to be ready for dancing the rest of the night (how i hate dancing!!....) ; i'll be OK in about 20 hours when i'll finally see my bed!
  4. please don't post those kinds of things it make me soooo angry!!! those are the worst reasons to vote for someone! You'd better not have voted at all than to vote for the Mad Texan with those motivations!
  5. so well it looks like i'm the only sad SU fan today.... 1 losing season in 14 seasons is not good enough in this world to keep your job...
  6. Maybe it is time to move on and for change at SU but i'm sure coach P will have some success somewhere else (and don't tell me he had none at SU). He's a good one.
  7. the NFC vs AFC record is something like 19-41 this year! I wonder if such dominance ever took place before!
  8. i'm reading this cowbell things for a few days... it's funny it's the trademark of my french league rugby team fans (FC Grenoble), as we are the team from the Alps we love our cowbells... if you want to find a sport events with thousands of cowbells try a major ski competition in Switzerland, it's quite impressing (or any elite hockey game in switzerland too)
  9. i 'd love to see the Bills D show Manning he's not the king of the World yet!
  10. i think Peyton's ego is way too big to believe he's not gonna try to pass for a couple more TD vs the Broncs...
  11. to the 2004 Buffalo Bills. 2 months ago, disgusted and angry i was asking for Bledsoe's head and the coaching staff to think about next year and the future. Our playoffs chances were about 0.0001% back then but i should have believed in my team (i was at the Houston game!!! i'm a Red Sox fan! i knew it could happen!!!!). Now whatever happens next week end this team has given me a lesson i'll not forget! The Buffalo Bills never quit! Let's Go Bills!! I want to see you walk on Peyton in his Dome for my birthday!
  12. i'll root for an all PA Superbowl. And if it's the case just change the Superbowl site and play it at Beaver Stadium at Penn State!
  13. well 11% ... it's even better than what i thought! and let's remember than 5 weeks ago that number was about 0.01%!
  14. The bridge has been baptized the french way yet! First day it was opened to the public: first demonstration (by local associations asking for more federal money for the area) at its toll booths!!
  15. the Millau bridge here?! where can i hide without seeing it again! it has been non stop since Monday! TV , radio, papers, it's Millau bridge week here!
  16. The AFC has now a +16 advantage over the NFC. There is a strong possibility one NFC playoff team will have a regular season losing record… I wonder what is the record for more games won by a conference over the other in a season… anyone knows ?
  17. how i'd love to be there on day... don't look like it's gonna be next year... i'm planning a US trip in july in Northern Ca, Oreg, Wash and BC , a trip i wanna make for maybe 15 years but nothing planned in WNY... maybe next christmas...
  18. thanks! but i have yet received tons of stuff from my friends in Boston!
  19. The BCS is a joke, they're always talking about the Bowl "tradition" and it ends up with Texas in the Rose bowl taking the spot of Cal?!! if they were the real tradition keepers they want us to believe they are, the Rose bowl should be USC-Mich , Pac 10 vs Big 10... Give us the Playoffs we all want to see!! with unbeaten teams with a chance to win it all! Quarters: 1 USC vs 8 Michigan 2 OU vs 7 Cal 3 Auburn vs 6 Texas 4 Utah vs 5 Boise State
  20. i've not posted here for weeks. After the Red Sox win and with the disastrous beginning of the Bills season i confess I have not followed the NFL as much as usual in sept oct and nov. I'm still not convinced by our Bills but as always will root for them till the last playoffs chance is gone... just a few little things to say: * I like the top teams in the NFL this year, the Pats, Eagles and Steelers are classy franchises, with big faithful groups of fans and players and coaches i respect. It's so much better to see them fighting for the ring than the Bucs, Rams or Titans... * I love college football, i know it all about the traditions, the bowl games and the conferences but enough is enough. This season can end with 4 unbeaten teams! You can tell me all you want but you will never prove me an unbeaten team can not be the champ of the competition it plays in... how can you decide OU is better than Utah? Just because you THINK it's the truth?! This sport need playoffs. Anyway don't miss Boise State-Louisville this should be something to watch! * I don't know how i'm gonna root for David Wells.
  21. The Nicolette incident The Artest brawl Maybe i'm a sick person but i think there is so many more scandalous things happening in this World than that... Overreaction is becoming the norm and that's a little frightning.
  22. the european economies are doing OK GG, we don't have a trade deficit with a weak money, something that is very very worrying... Bush is paying his huge budget deficit with a weak dollar, it will not work forever, you' d better start selling us your cheap stuff or you will soon be a country sinking into poverty
  23. T Bone!! count on me Red Sox fans are welcome here! i can host illigal aliens in my basement, the cops are so dumb around here the ETA has hidden anti aerial missiles in a nearby house for 20 years before they found it last month! GG PM me if you want i can talk for hours about the american currency policy and the disaster it is for America and the World in general Kelso Helmet , try to read something one day instead of watching Faux news 24 hours a day, you look like someone needing serious information about Europe. maybe you can come around here! my basement is big enough for two! and Bills fans are welcome too! and remember Fort Carillon !
  24. New twist in that story! and one more "only in America " moment! After the prudish America here comes the America that must add race in everything it talks about! Thanks for reminding this to me Mr Dungy!!!! i think i'm gonna bang my head on the wall now! what about being scandalised with real problems guys?! Like your government changing your money into toilet paper?! i can't wait for my next summer's trip in the NW, i'll be about 45% richer than the last time i crossed the pond!
