You were right: Jospin did not get any gift from the AI.
Nevertheless he landed in 1873, 12 years sooner than Thatchy.
Probably Delanoé was behind him .

(for those interested, there were elections in France last Sunday and Delanoé is going to be the first left wing Mayor of Paris for more than a century).

never mind, it's been done already :
someone posted to me the other day on another thread that Bordeaux was overpriced and I had better drink australian wine.
Wasn't that southern home of viniculture mostly bettered by Englishmen?

Congratulations SG(2)
I notice that you mentioned Paris driving to the left 21 hours ahead of me
(makes me remember that, when I was a very young boy, somewhere around 1943, we used to say that reliable information was provided by the BBC).
I am playing Brutus ('tu quoque me filii') for the time being, but I'll follow your advice and play next game as Delanoé (which means in fact Delanoe, since I can never save any game when I use 'é' or 'è').
Wasn't Delanoe the second name of Mr Roosevelt? I must also play a game as Roosevelt in the near future (as being the first winner of Redalert ).

I think it was Delano

You could use this name and not worry about the accent over the "e"

Interestingly (to boring old farts such as myself) this has been 'simplified' in English first to 'Et tu, Brute and in recent years simply to 'Et tu Brutus' the Vocative being far too complex a concept for the hoi poloi -- of course I may simply be getting my Latin tags completely confused. (clear evidence of senility ...)

Having gone to FDR High School I can verify the D is Delano. But I think the name Roosevelt is Dutch.

Of course it is Delano.
(it just seemed more fun to pretend to notice that the new left wing mayor of Paris had the same name as the former left wing president of the US).

SG(1)
Please don't start complaining about how far your latin is from you , since I'm several years older than you are (and there doesn't exist any Exchange for lost years... or perhaps I should, very slowly, ask Slow Thinker).
