Nice - like my favourite quote of Dubya's (True or not true depending who you ask):-

"The problem with the French, is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur."

Something I found slightly amusing was a quote from Nick Maloney on his recent round the world antics talking to a Frenchman on a VHF interview after a serious knock down.

He was asked what it was like down below afterwards. He described how a tub full of his note paper had come open.

"I don't know if you're aware but in England we have this phrase 'Papier Mâchè' it was like that."

Some people are very self critical, a friend recently commented that he
wasn't really built for crewing trapeze boats describing his trapezing
style as 'like an elephant' - the picture had me in giggles... can't imagine
elephants could trapeze at all, where would they get a harness to fit for
starters?????

Oh dear, some one else who seems intent on getting a load of free advertising this time for spandex.  Frankie, it's been tried before and you are doing yourself no favours.  BORING
