this is amazing! It's like when I read "le monde diplomatique" except that it's a real job. I think it's very usefull to know and understand the different migratory flows so as to understand the society we leave in. Plus that it keeps you open minded and not self centered. Ethnocentrism (I think I made that one up from french) is bad and sterile. I have other things to say on the subject but I leave it now and answer about my job a bit later. ![]()

Hey guys, what's up? It's been 3 days since I last heard from you. You had a tough week end or what? :blink: [/COLOR]
It's all right, I 'm going to end up like Hamlet talking to myself and hearing voices!! ![]()
I have my job to make me crazy, I don't need you for that! LOL
Soprano asked me if I had tough times over there ? Well, in fact I have. You have to be quite sane to stay in a place for 8 hours a day with psychotics! Seriously, I like my job. It's real hard sometimes but I deal with human beeings and I like it. I find it easier to wake up at 5h30 when I know that someone depends on me . It really makes a difference for that person if I wake up on time or not.
By the way, I might leave you early tonight 'cause it's my third morning and I'm getting tired. I know that Phoenix wakes up a lot earlier all week long, so I 'll think of him tomorrow morning!! I find it particularly hard during winter cause it's dark outside, dont you think?[/COLOR]

Darkness is not a problem for me, but it's hard to exit from my bed when when the weather is cold.
Agree with you about this topic who starts to hibernate. Time to wake up gentlmen!

OK, take a deep breath and start reading this new version of the old "why do the chicken cross the road":
Why did the chicken cross the road?
KINDERGARTEN TEACHER: To get to the other side.
PLATO: For the greater good.
ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross roads.
KARL MARX: It was a historical inevitability.
TIMOTHY LEARY: Because that's the only trip the establishment would let it take.
SADDAM HUSSEIN: This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it.
JACK NICHOLSON: 'cause it f.....g wanted to. That's the f.....g reason.
RONALD REAGAN: I forget.
CAPTAIN JAMES T. KIRK: To boldly go where no chicken has gone before.
HIPPOCRATES: Because of an excess of phlegm in its pancreas.
ARTHUR ANDERSEN CONSULTANT: Deregulation of the chicken's side of the road was threatening its dominant market position. The chicken was faced with significant challenges to create and develop the competencies required for the newly competitive market.
Andersen Consulting, in a partnering relationship with the client, helped the chicken by rethinking its physical distribution strategy and implementation processes. Using the Poultry Integration Model (PIM), Andersen helped the chicken use its skills, methodologies, knowledge, capital and experiences to align the chicken's people, processes and technology in support of its overall strategy within a Program Management framework.
Andersen Consulting convened a diverse cross-spectrum of road analysts and best chickens along with Anderson consultants with deep skills in the transportation industry to engage in a two-day itinerary of meetings in order to leverage their personal knowledge capital, both tacit and explicit, and to enable them to synergize with an eterprise-wide value framework across the continuum of poultry cross-median processes.
The meeting was held in a park-like setting, enabling and creating an impactful environment which was strategically based, industry-focused, and built upon a consistent, clear, and unified market message and aligned with the chicken's mission, vision, and core values. This was conducive towards the creation of a total business integration solution.
Andersen Consulting helped the chicken change to become more successful.
LOUIS FARRAKHAN: The road, you see, represents the black man. The chicken 'crossed' the black man in order to trample him and keep him down.
MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.: I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question.
MOSES: And God came down from the Heavens, and He said unto the chicken,"Thou shalt cross the road." And the chicken crossed the road, and there was much rejoicing.
FOX MULDER: You saw it cross the road with your own eyes. How many more chickens have to cross the road before you believe it?
RICHARD M. NIXON: The chicken did not cross the road. I repeat, the chicken did NOT cross the road.
MACHIAVELLI: The point is that the chicken crossed the road. Who cares why? The end of crossing the road justifies whatever motive there was.
JERRY SEINFELD: Why does anyone cross a road? I mean, why doesn't anyone ever think to ask, What the heck was this chicken doing walking around all over the place, anyway?
FREUD: The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity.
BILL GATES: I have just released the new Chicken Office 2000, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook.
OLIVER STONE: The question is not, "Why did the chicken cross the road?" Rather, it is, "Who was crossing the road at the same time, whom we overlooked in our haste to observe the chicken crossing?"
DARWIN: Chickens, over great periods of time, have been naturally selected in such a way that they are now genetically disposed to cross roads.
EINSTEIN: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road moved beneath the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.

Thank you for visiting the topic Phoenix. It's true that I'm not there very often these days, it must be weird but I'm not sure it would make any difference for the english topic. Maybe no one is in the mood for speaking english and that's all. 
Just wait and see That's too bad, i nedd practice and i love speaking english even if my english is not very good ( I've stop learning it at the end of the collège) ![]()

Well , we can speak together for the moment. ![]()
You bring the beers and I'll get the Jack Daniels and we can "rebuilt the world"(I can't remember the english expression just now, I'll have to ask my mother and I'll tell you later).
To be weird is to be strange, unnatural, bizarre. I like the word "weird" because it has a strange pronunciation (I can't show you right now , we'll wait for the next meeting!). I like it too because it reminds me of a Guns n'Roses concert where Axl introduced Slash like this , using "it" instead of "he": "it's weird and it's pissed of and it calls himself Slash". Knowning what Slash is like must help you to understand the word "weird". I m sure you know what he's like! The noun that goes with it is "weirdo" = person who behaves, dresses,... in a bizarre or unconventional way, eccentric person.
See you soon![/COLOR]

Hello Valmad,
I have to apologize, cause I give you the idea of this topic and I don't fill it with my english words but I've got a reason ;) In fact, I spent a lot of time with the romanian girl that I already told about. And I speak english so much that I even think in english even when I'm not with her. So I have my daily "dose" (I don't see a good synonyme and i don't know the word).
And In this topic we have to speaj about all and nothing but I have no idea of what speaking about.
So I am sorry to let you a little alone here but I ve seen you discovered the other topics :D :D :ph34r:
So have a nice day and see you.

I was sure you would know Slash!! I 've had some really good times listening to them. I had posters all over my room. When I was in England, i used to buy very rare LP's that could'nt be found in France,... I even have a Les Paul copy by Hohner. I don't pay it but she's beautiful. A real fan. The funny thing is tath that I bought quite recently a dvd of videos (it was cheap) and found out that I still find it good. Or maybe it's nostalgia, I don(t know! Anyway, I' m glad you liked the explanation.Castagn, don't worry, I'm in good hands. You can't be practicing French kiss, euh I mean , english with your romanian friend and be in this topic at the same time.
It's OK, visit from time to time, it's always nice to see you.
