An englishman in Paris

Start the week

The french rail service has become the "Human Animal Transportation Service" *HATS*

Every day, carriages made for 70 commuters contain at least twice as many more people, all crammed in like stinking anchovies.

Yup, it's all down to the "Conductors Union for the National Transportation System" * you can figure out your own acronym for that one*

They've all decided to go on "Fire Us and Cry, unless, you can come up with Another Longstanding and Lifelong deal" ... sorta thing.

France could sorely do with a Mrs Thatch, kinda deal *starts crying bitterly* ... but happily/ grimly Ségolene ain't it.

As for me; briefly, i've seen 7 people out of the fifty to interiew.

I went for a very quick whizz over to see one of my clients.

Idiot Boy has had no reply from his tennis girly ... i've got to find a name for her ...

My boss came back from Italy at the start of the afternoon - apparently so, because i didn't see her all day.... she sent me a mail to remind me about the wednesday evening meal thing ... *s'funny, i think i'm starting to feel to unwell*

On a side note, somebody was regaling me with their Christmas decoration heroics and asked me when i would be setting up my tree.

I said maybe next monday ... or the monday after - that's how humbuggy I am

They have the sacrosaint droit de greve I guess.

But it's not for everyone. One segment of the population gets to periodically take an other segment hostage. Preferably when it cold, snowy, during a holiday etc. If at least they harnested that great power of theirs for world peace or to fund cancer research, but no, it's all for themselves. What stuns me is how vulnerable people (those whose jobs don't have Unions) don't rebel.

Le droit de greve my arse.
