The shop front canopy kept the persistent drizzle off our heads and for a couple of 'childlike' minutes I was transfixed by one of the best and innovative displays I have ever seen. Yeah, you really have to see the extraordinary choreography coupled with a delightfully bright and lively tune - I am sure if was french but I didn't recognize it.

Sounds a bit pious perhaps but when i was young i knew a lovely young woman who i looked up to for dress sense, make up etc. She was a neighbour and such fun, all trendy and fashionable. It shocked me to discover she had been into drugs and died one night in London. At the age of 9, as i was at the time, it just stayed with me i suppose. I hasten to add i don't judge anyone who does; it's not my place, i perhaps wish they wouldn't, that's all.Cheltenhamdailyphotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00518073757785956012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-1166125220970112342006-12-14T20:40:00.000+01:002006-12-14T20:40:00.000+01:00Lynn: :O really?

Not even in college (university)? <BR/><BR/>Your are officially the second person in my age range or younger (I'm guessing your age range here) that has never smoked pot! The other one, ironically, is a Dutch friend that lives in the Netherlands...lol. But she was kind enough to go with me to a "coffee shop" when I visited her in Amsterdam. I had to experience smoking legally! It was fun, very laid back as one would imagine. I guess it's not as common in Europe??? Everyone I know has at some point, and most men that I know (were talking professional men, still smoke occassionally. You would be surprised at who does.<BR/><BR/>So funny that alcohol, which causes so many deaths every year is legal and the poor little marijuana plant that is so much less toxic to the body is outlawed. I guess their lobby doesn't give enough money to the government like the alcohol industry....lol.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-1166121044446623212006-12-14T19:30:00.000+01:002006-12-14T19:30:00.000+01:00I haven't :) No, honestly i never have.

They purposely HOLD the movies and do not mail them in order that you cannot receive more than 13 (I think that's the number if my memory is correct) rentals per month. It has nothing to do with the postal service.<BR/><BR/>Isabella, I've also not heard that "going to pot" means getting stoned. I think you made that up! lol.

I don't...Wow, interesting, Johnny Parsons, thanks. I don't think I saw movies that old when I was in France or since.<BR/><BR/>I love Netflix too, but I think Susan has a point. I think because of the postal turnover you can only get so many movies a month with them, and not an "unlimitted" amount as they claim. <BR/><BR/>Class actions might have been a great concept at some point, but they do nothing more than make the lawyers richer. I got $1 from Iomega a few years ago, another buck from Apple, and another couple of dollars from Microsoft over the years, but the attorneys who orchestrated these deals made millions (billions?). <BR/><BR/>Netflix gave me notice of their recent settlement but I did not get a free month. Rather, I got an extra movie or something equally stupid that I coudn't really do anything with (shrug). I still like the concept and overall I'm happy. They don't have "savage nights" though, I checked. Probably a distribution problem more than anything else because they have a lot of interesting Sundance and other kind of cool Indies movies dealing with all kinds of subject matters.Tomate Farciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12102741033638005250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-1166054149351305662006-12-14T00:55:00.000+01:002006-12-14T00:55:00.000+01:00Eric..going to pot means, in American slang, becom...Eric..going to pot means, in American slang, becoming a slob, mess, loosing usefulness...plus ou moins.JohnnyParsonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00192355291272788111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-1166053312115077942006-12-14T00:41:00.000+01:002006-12-14T00:41:00.000+01:00Ame, yes the chair is normal chair. these pots are...Ame, yes the chair is normal chair. these pots are... big!<BR/><BR/>Isabella, I did not get it ;) what does going to pot mean?Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796507758758766120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-1166046074961164042006-12-13T22:41:00.000+01:002006-12-13T22:41:00.000+01:00I love the premise of Netflix but hate the way the...I love the premise of Netflix but hate the way they operate. I've left them twice and now use Blockbuster's online rental.<BR/><BR/>Netflix is not honest when it claims, "unlimited" rentals when in fact they penalize heavy users by withholding the the mailings in order to reduce the amount you can get each month. Also, if a movie is in high demand, preference is given to new users in order for their new experiences to be positive. I've waited three and half months to receive a movie while a friend, new to Netflix, living in the same area as I, received the movie immediately. <BR/><BR/>Someone else noticed this, proved the practice was taking place and filed a class action suit. They had to give everyone a free month and I think they had to disclose the practice in their terms and conditions (which most don't read). So, if you're a light user or you're new to them, you get a great experience. The longer you are with them or the more you rent, the worse your experience gets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-1166035619922361252006-12-13T19:46:00.000+01:002006-12-13T19:46:00.000+01:00Tomate...Baker-Gabin "ZouZou".
