Q: Do you know the difference between a connoisseur and a wino?

A: The connoisseur takes the bottle out of the paper sack.

Good point. Most people don't know that French vineyards were
destroyed by rot and vine cuttings from California were sent to France
to re-plant them.

But you know how it is... we bad Americans never bail out the

The way I heard it, the native American grapes, the nasty New England
ones, were the immune root stock. California was mostly planted with
true european grapes, on the theory that the nematode was only endemic
to europe. Wrong! The critters are eating up Napa as we speak, and
California growers are adapting the european habit of grafting
varietals onto Concord grape rootstock.

For the record, I don't care for the french government. They are
every bit as craven and two faced as our current administration. The
current fad by those on the right of shit-hammering the french for
every little thing though certainly seems like there are some out
there with some kind of weird inferiority complex though. I mean,
heaven forbid that other countries look out for their best interest
rather than ours.

Not only "the right" the French Government is universally loathed - even
amongst the French - for being a bunch of corrupt hypocrites!!

It's Ok to look out for No 1 - but at least one should be frank & honest
about it; For Example: It does not create the best impression of one's
principled character to be slagging the US for attacking Falluja while at
the same time French Fighter jets and Combat Helicopters are pounding the
shit out of Cote d'Ivoriere to defend the interests of ELF;

Although - funnily enough - 'the left' seem willing to forgive the terrorist
attack on Rainbow Warrier by the French secret service merely because the
French Government are dissing the US!

Are the french wines still being affected by the little Chernoble (sp??)

don't use any french wines younger than 1986 because of them being a

Hey, speaking of rotten French things, we just had a Safeway Select
Creme Bruille for dessert. Comes frozen in a box with two beautiful
big flat ceramic ramekins with the custard inside, and each has its
own sugar packet. You thaw it, sprinkle the sugar on top, and blast it
with a propane torch to crystalize the sugar. Takes a bit of practice
to get the knack, just like learning to solder. It was *really good*.
And I can reuse the ramekins for my Kozyshack Bruille version.

It was, er, made in France. We had it with, er, Pouilly Fuisse.

Sorry.

I don't drink Beaujolais... I find it too weak-kneed, sort of like
wine-flavored water or mouth wash ;-)

In reds I prefer wines with considerable "tongue" such as Merlot,
Cabernet, Zinfandel or Shiraz.

I don't drink Beaujolais... I find it too weak-kneed, sort of like
wine-flavored water or mouth wash ;-)
In reds I prefer wines with considerable "tongue" such as Merlot,
Cabernet, Zinfandel or Shiraz.

Putting Merlot in the same class as Cabernet and Shiraz (Hermitage)
implies a certain lack of discrimination. He probably doesn't notice
the difference between Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Clearly you have a real problem understanding the language. "Sloman" is also
not a native of the village!

Nijmegen is a city in the Netherlands of about 150.000 inhabitants. Nijmegen is
a very old city, it was founded some 2000 years ago by Emperor Traian of the
Romans, as a camp to protect the border of the Roman Empire. Charles the Great
(Charlemagne) also lived in the city for quite some time.

So it an OLD village.

According to archeologists Nijmegen had municipal rights in the Roman times
already allthough the exact dates and contents are not known. There's not

Nijmegen was given a charter by rooms-koning Hendrik VII in 1230. Enough
evidence to say that Nijmegen is not a village.

Telling Clarence to read carefully, think, or do some research on his
own, is making unreasonable demands. Clarence is one of our irrational
right-wingers, a member of a group whose common characteristic is that
their truth is defined by what they know now, and cannot be enlarged
or corrected by the usual methods of scholarship or common sense.

Any suggestion that his opinion might be formed by reading or
investigation (let alone corrected by counter-examples) is an insult
to his fanaticism and the divine source of his inspiration.

For those interested in historical accuracy, Nijmegen was a city long
before Tacitus installed his occupation troops in an armed camp, a
little to the southeast of the city centre. The name Nijmegen is a
corruption of the Latin Noviomagus (new market) - I don't know what
the Batavians called it.

Nijmegen is built on the glacial morraine on the south side of the
Rhine, the heap of rubble and sand deposited when the glacier that was
the Rhine in the last Ice Age melted wen it reached the lowlands.

Nijmegen (and Arnhem, 25 km to the north) were thus the last dry
ground alongside the Rhine before you got into the fertile but swampy
delta.

They were - in consequence - important trading posts long before Roman
times. The Nijmegen museum has got lots of pre-Roman archeological
stuff on show, as well as lots of Roman remains.

Wrong. One of the conditions of my unemployment benefit is that I
apply for at least one job per week - in fact I usually apply for

Nijmegen is a city in the Netherlands of about 150.000 inhabitants.
Nijmegen is a very old city, it was founded some 2000 years ago by
Emperor Traian of the Romans, as a camp to protect the border of the
Roman Empire.

The Emperor Traian (usually spelled Trajan - google gives Trajan a
roughly 100:1 preference) did not found the city. He did set up a
walled military camp on its outskirts in 104 AD after suppressing a
rebellion by the Batavian inhabitants of the city, and this
constitutes the first written reference to the city, but Nijmegen was
an important trading post on the Rhine long before that.

He won't need to use Babblefish. Educated citizens of the Netherlands
always know English, Dutch and German. Learning Dutch destroyed my
capacity (such as it was) to speak German, but slightly improved my
capacity to understand spoken and written German - the languages are
quite close to one another, and not all that different from English,
sharing a common Germanic root, and being stress-timed.
