A CAVALCADE of excitements, no less - none of which I can tell you about if I want to avoid being disinherited. There was a long-distance truck driver in the shower this morning, mind you, and Dad's still in with a chance of winning a Mazda with his Scritch* card.
In the meantime, I have assembled this list of very short famous French men.
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec: 4ft 11
Jean-Paul Sartre: 5ft (existential angst? All seems terribly clear now)
Honoré de Balzac: 5ft 2
Marquis de Sade: 5ft 2
Voltaire: 5ft 3
And no, Napoleon wasn't that short. He was a shade off 5ft 7.
* Like a Scratch card, but French.

Some delightful posts NWM. I'll have to drop by more often. Anybody that writes "cock ring" or "gimp mask" on their mother's grocery list deserves that much.
So kind. I aim to please. x
I'm still stuck at "there was a long distance truck driver in the shower"....ummm...pardon?
Vive la France!
So, does this mean that Sadism is just fancy-pants Short Man's Complex?
Are all French men short or just the ones I meet?
So, what does it mean if Th' Cap'n be directly related t'Napoleon?
1. All French men are short. Fact.
2. Cap'n, Napoleon was, strictly speaking, Corsican, so it may not count.
3. Veronica: yes. Also explains Sartre's existential angst. Short man complex. I quite like short men though. Not sure what it says about me.
4. The least said about the man in the shower, the better.

4. At least you could tell whether he was, hmm, short ?
I was in bed. I merely report what my father told me. Cough.
We sent this grubby, tired truck driver into the shower, and he came out clean, shiny and dressed in rather chic (yes it is possible) cut-off shorts and a tailored t-shirt - both in navy blue. Must have been aiming at the French market, as he tootled off down the autoroute to deliver the rest of his goods, so to speak.
What a great site »
