Le 80s Wheels Fest

The French indulged today in one of their favourite pastimes: a strike. Well, that's not entirely accurate; the metro staff had a strike (struck?) and the rest of the population walked to work pretending that it was a pain to be out in the light early Autumn breeze with the sun gently blazing and lighting up all the Haussmann buildings and the over-prevalent architectural wonders with that magnificent Parisian glow.

But not everyone walked, I was passed by more than 5 men in business suits roller blading. There were also 2 roller-skating. In the absence of public transport this was apparently the logical alternative, tremendous!

French police also indulge:

Wash colours seperately

The seeming inability of the Belgian political parties to actually form a coalition government is of slight concern it must be admitted. For all their differences I'm inclined to wonder why they don't just form a "Not Vlaams Belang" group.

Not just because they are parochial xenophobes ranting about a non-existent pure Flemish race and language but because they can't help but being Belgian on their posters and printing them in Flemish *and* French. One wonders why they haven't included German on there as well.

Unfeminism

I know women politicians often get judged on their appearances much more than their male counterparts. I know this is sexist/wrong/unfair and so on.

But seriously, People of Ukraine, how can you keep voting for this hair?


What a marvellous specimen Ioulia Timochenko is.
