I was offered a 6 month secondment in Paris.
It would start in 3 weeks or so - but tomorrow I am leaving for 1 week holiday.
I would need a passport for my cat.
Should I accept?
My mother says I should go as long as I don't get killed by a Muslim terrorist.
I still have to discuss it with my boyfriend(s). :ph34r:

Boyfriends, Marti? :yeahright:
This is really just a humblebrag. If you're being offered the secondment then obviously your firm thinks it's a good idea for you to go. So you should go. Besides I remember how much you enjoyed your time in Brussels, so I'm sure you'd get along famously in gay Paris.

This. We all know your faux uncertainty about whether to take the offer is just a cover so you can brag. That's okay, so log as you don't think you are fooling anyone. Of course you are going.
I used to think, like spicey, that the French were assholes, and my experiences years ago tended to confirm that. My trip a coupla years back completely changed my mind on that, however. The French were very graceful when I butchered their language and had none of the "play dumb" shtick from years ago. I had a great time and love the French.

I don't see why marty is getting a hard time. He gets notice about moving to paris in 3 weeks and needs to make a quick decision. Bouncing the situation off languish isn't the most horrible thing in languish history.

I was surprised to see that most of Europe has entirely eradicated rabies, which is pretty good work considering what a terrifying ("hydrophobia") and deadly (100% fatality rate if you miss the very short window for post-infection treatment, and that's with today's medicine) disease it has been
The US, Canada, and Australia do still have rabies cases, but AFAIK, it's been eradicated in dogs, etc., and bats are the vector. I think almost all the rabies cases in the US are from bat bites, and it's general medical advice to get post-exposure treatment right away if you wake up with a bat in your room, even without any visible punctures.

Why this refugee camp is scaring 'posh' Parisians
Authorities in Paris gave the green light on Wednesday to erect temporary homes for 200 refugees and homeless people in the posh 16th arrondissement of the city, despite anger from local residents.
The 16th arrondissement of Paris is one of the most affluent in the city, made up of wide avenues with tree-lined walkways, enormous homes, and prestigious schools.
And soon - it will also boast a set of five temporary homes for a population of around 200 migrants and homeless people, according to reports on France Bleu radio.
The structures will be erected "within weeks" in an unused grassy area just off the Avenue du Maréchal Maunoury, which is across the peripherique ring road from the Bois de Boulogne - the second biggest park in Paris.
The homes will be managed by French non-profit organization Aurore, which houses around 20,000 people in France each year.
The shelter will be on the west side of Paris in the 16th arrondissement. Photo: GoogleMaps
But not everyone is excited about the project. Over 50,000 local residents signed a petition to block the move, a protest backed by the centre right-wing deputy mayor of the arrondissement, Claude Goasguen.
He wrote on his blog that the Bois de Boulogne park was destined to become "a new Sangatte", referring to the controversial refugee camp on the northern French coastline that saw riots when it was closed by authorities in 2002.
He also pointed out how France's prime minister had already warned that terrorists were taking advantage of the migrant crisis to return to France.
A real estate agent called Michel who works in the area said such a move was "risky".
"This is a posh district that's very wealthy," he told France Bleu.
"There are beautiful cars, apartments with luxurious furnishings and jewellery inside. I'm not saying that these people are thieves, far from it, but when a pot of honey is put next to you, you want to stick your finger in it. It's tempting fate."
Nevertheless, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo pointed out that all the 20 arrondissements needed to pull their weight, and that the 16th currently wasn't.
The buildings are scheduled to be erected in the coming weeks and are planned to remain for five years. However, the project could still be scuppered by Environmental Minister Ségolène Royal.

Hint, the 16th arrondissement is not controlled by the PS. :P Bobos like refugees but not in their bobo neighborhoods. :D
The 16th is not the most affluent arrondissement since the 1950's but it still has this image.

And more importantly, is there burkha on burkha action?
That's illegal in France I believe. :contract:
Not during Carnival though.
I will be there in the summer. :P

It's very important when cutting a slice of cheese off a wedge to maintain the wedge shape. You never castrate the tip. Cut slices off the sides to maintain the tip.

Nah, from a bunch of French guys I spoke to, this is purely a matter of etiquette - basically the farther from the tip you are the shittier the cheese so you want everybody to have an equal opportunity there. If you are on your own, go nuts.
Etiquette is unimportant? :huh:

When DG is at home, he just bites into a cheese wheel and shakes it around as a dog would.

I am sure garbon puts a suit and tie on when eating a meal at home on his own.
I would have guessed a Hillary style pantsuit but that works.
