It's on the BBC website, LordBob.
Ah, well.
I'm not sure what the "Back to normal in France" is supposed to mean. Happens all the time, does it ?

I had a look.
They're describing Carcasonne as "outside Montpellier" which is like saying that Burnley is "outside Manchester".

Re: Back to normal in France . . .
BD, there seems to be a movement afoot to confuse common sense (i.e. everyone must think the same) with common sense (i.e. anyone with any intelligence has a chance of locating and taking action regarding the same universal fact.)

Re: Back to normal in France . . .
The other week i suggested that someone might want to get their head checked out (they had become quite nazi-ish over recent years). I could have instead just called him a Nazi if you like. Anyway, some of the far-right and right wing users on here flipped their ****, said that my post was a "disgrace" and got it deleted.Lord Rothbury wrote:Unless this board considers that politically you are slightly right of centre then you are a "Nazi "
Maybe you guys should make up your mind about what you'd like your extremists be called. Are they mentally ill, or are they Nazis?

Recommend it.
But Montpellier is better.

The Policeman who surrendered himself in place of the hostages is an incredibly brave man.
Now seems he's fighting for his life.
Really hope he pulls through.

As a staunch atheist, I'd say they're still mentally unsound.
