Make sure you learn a few phrases in French. I've noticed that it makes a big difference if you ask 'Parlez vous Anglais' rather than 'Do you speak English'.
It's a matter of attitude, yours, not theirs. (a common American misconception  )
My French friend explained it to me: Most French below the age of fifty speaks English, but they don't necessarily like or feel able to use it unless they actually feel that they're good at it, but if you've show that you tried it and aren't embarrassed about it, they probably will give in.
Oh, I should probably recommend L'Escargot Montorgueil[^].
They had the best service that I have ever experienced in a restaurant. We had some problems with communications and didn't arrive until late, but they kept it open just for our company of ten people.
And our waitress was really funny, witty and attentive and the food was super (while expensive). Two words: Truffle omelette!
While specialized on snails (the name L'Escargot might be a hint), I didn't find it to be anything special. It's just a French excuse for eating garlic butter.

Oh I absolutely agree with the attitude bit. Same for country I have ever visited, Latin America gets you a long way by not being rude. No one likes being treated like a moron.
My family went on vacation in Europe when I was 12 or 13, everyone was talking about how rude the French were. On the contrary, everyone we met was very helpful. And yes, always ask 'Parlez vous Anglais' usually coupled with "Pardon me sir/madam/miss, do you speak english?" which I need to refresh myself on how to say. Either way, do your best to ask in the native language politely and without butchering it. Trying our best made a big difference. At one point, we couldn't find which platform our train was leaving from, asked a person waiting on his, he didn't speak english but took a look at our tickets and took us right to the platform we needed to be at.
And I seem to recall that restaurant name from what my wife said would be one we have to visit because of history. Not positive though. If not, I will make a note of it.

But lots of other celebrities are available here[^]
I don't know who at least half of these people are, but I do find the charging scale for those I do quite entertaining.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Except for Hasselhoff, I recognize 0% of them. Must be a UK thing?

I wouldn't have thought so as many of them are priced in dollars and the rest in pounds.
Most of those in dollars look to be wrestlers though.
Quite a few of the UK ones I vaguely remember from reality talent shows (that my wife and child insist on watching).

Ya, that was weird. Mixing currencies on the same web page seems very odd.

I don't get it. What's the point?

I think the point is for some bloke to try and make a bit of cash out of Z List celebrities who are prepared to do almost anything for a little bit of money.

I can, he is the singer of my favourite band.

I guess that does narrow down who he is a little bit.

That's funny! Looking for suitable pool room music for friends the other night, I broke out 'Sonic Temple'. Nobody knew who it was.

There are more Youtube videos from when they play live or from TV shows etc that are better.
The band is really great, when "Black city" was released I thought it fantastic.

You're quite right, they are great. I also think that for example both Sparzanza and especially Takida are both bands I enjoy a lot.

A local group is going to have a car show this weekend, and among the categories of cars are a few that are female-specific (i.e., "Best Female Car").
When I saw that, I thought, "oh good - they're trying toget more women nvolved in the hobby".
And then I thought, "But are they implying that they think women can't compete at the same level as men in a car show?"
I would bet that the vast majority of car show participants nowadays don't do any of the work on their own cars, so IMHO, the owner of the car - or the owner's gender - shouldn't matter.
Maybe I'm just over-thinkin' it...

Since when were you politically correct?

Would the "best female car" be like a white convertible with pink fluffy seats, something known as a hairdressers car here.
Makes sense to me to have this comp. seperate to the main event.

tends to a Mazda soft top?

Hmm... younger girls in my area (I'm old... too old...) seem to like Mustangs and Camaros!
Last year graduation showed 5 girls with their "muscle" cars they got for graduation all lined up.
Guys around here seem to be going for either Honda Accords or pickup trucks but the girls are making headway in the pickup truck area. I was almost run off the road a few weeks back by two cow-girls in a gigantic dualie.
Maybe the entry was for the best car that looked like a female?

|

Yeah I agree I don't see a special category for women.
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
