    • Pommes Frites? Sadly, every where on the continent seems to call them pommes frites instead of their rightful English name. Even Albanians looked at us strangely when we tried to order them in English but they completely understood when we called them pommes frites.

            I laughed so hard I cried when I read an article about Godin first. It had my colleague helpless at his desk. Flanning should happen to all French philosophes and cultural commentators (think of it like the man who tells Caesar to remember he is mortal).

            Godin for President.


            Now I'm en attendant Godin....

                I like to eat here in London:
