Le discours de Sarközy

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

Puisque je fais parti de la première vague d’immigrés expulsés sous le règne de Monsieur Sarkozy (Je rentre demain en République Tchèque) avant même qu’il forme son gouvernement, je me permets de parler de la politique française, en proposant ce faux discours du nouveau président. Il s’agit d’un montage de ses anciens discours (qui […]

L’impossible n’est pas Français

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

I managed today to spend only 1 € in Paris!
It’s crazy the prices over here, sometimes I think they are exaggerated : the cheapest good at the supermarket costs 2 €. Are Parisians satisfied with these prices?
With my Czech salary (very low comparing with other European salaries), I can even avoid cooking and I […]

I became a caesevore *

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

If there’s a French specialty I will always remember, it would be wine and cheese. I have never eaten so much varieties of cheese in all my life like I ate in the first week of my staying in Paris: Camembert, Comté, Roquefort, Fourme d’Ambert, Neufchâtel, white cheese, Cantal, Bleu d’Auvergne, goat cheese, … […]

A 24-hour (or more) insomnia

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

Woke up on Saturday at 8, I slept 3 hours and was not really sober.
Last time shopping: Spent 2000 czk.
Took the train from Brno at 0:28 to Prague, Still awake from 8.

Arrived to Prague at 3:28, Walked from Hlavní Nádraži till Holešovice on feet, carrying 27 kg; an unknown (let’s say friend) Romanian helped me […]

Indifference

Saturday, April 14th, 2007

 

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out
because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out
because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for […]

Martyrized Algeria

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007

Going back home from work, I check BBC RSS and I find out a terrible news

Two blasts in Algeria’s capital Algiers have killed at least 23 people and injured 160 - one exploding near the prime minister’s office.

Too shocked to think why. After years of peace and prosperity, the Bin Laden managers did not […]

Demande de visa

Monday, April 9th, 2007

Extrait de Fellag, Djurdjurassique Bled.

Il y avait un gars devant nous qui ne parlait à personne (…) Il avait un costume tellement droit et tellement bien repassé qu’il ne le met pas : Il monte sur une échelle et il y a une grue pourqu’il rentre dedans tout droit ; même s’il est fatigué, […]

A solution for any problem?

Saturday, April 7th, 2007

“If you have a headache, put on smaller shoes”
I think it’s a Chinese proverb, I don’t know where I heard it, but I believe it, as sometimes this proverb perfectly works.

My dear compatriots here

Saturday, April 7th, 2007

While waiting for the tram today at 5:30 AM in Česká station, I was surprised to hear some talk in Tunisian accent, there are no many Tunisians in Brno, but I would have preferred not to meet those three guys, totally drunk, dirty dresses, talking loudly and laughing, singing and bothering people who were […]

Non sibi sed patriae

This is the actual radio conversation of a US naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1995.
Radio conversation released by the chief of naval operations, 10-10-95.
 
CANADIANS: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.
 
AMERICANS: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the north […]

Having sex with the wall — Some people believe it

Thursday, April 5th, 2007

I got these news from Al-Arabyia website (not accessible from Tunisia):

وكان منير الريس هاجم في مقاله المنشور بتاريخ 11-3- 2007 منيرة القبيسي (75 عاما) وقال بأنها تدير “جمعية دينية نسائية متشددة”، ووصف بعض أفرادها بـ”التطرف الرهيب”، وسرد ما سماه “طقوساً” نقلتها له أمه عن درس حضرته وسمعت فيه أن الشيخة قالت في الدرس: “إن […]

Highest crime rate in the world

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007

Guess which country has the highest crime rate related to the population (not the number of crimes) in the world. It’s not South Africa, nor Iraq, Thailand, Brazil, … but:

As a result of the Vatican having a small resident population, but millions of visitors every year, the state has the highest per capita crime […]

Google does not lack of sense of humor!

Before logging to my gmail account, I surprisingly read that Gmail created a new feature, called Gmail Paper.
According to Google team, you can select all the documents you want to print including pictures, and Gmail will print them in high quality and deliver them in a pack to your home for free, regardless of […]
