Got a question for you guys no this subject. Haven't you people ever heard of a smoking section?! Why did you have to ban smoking everywhere. I'm not a smoker anymore but I always wanted to go to a French cafe and light one up like I've always seen.

[ilv2]

you can still do that until 2008.

eh i'm mixed about this, sure there are health risks but I prefer that to the obnoxious attitude towards smoking most americans have.
Banning smoking in bars is a little ridiculous, but restaurants is more understandable.

Yeah, people really want to get clean air then start using green energy and all that. Then you can start worrying about smoking.

[ilv2]

well, in any case I was discussing this issue with some french friends and they agree that everyone is going to go out into the street to smoke :D Even lovelier!

best book a ticket soon and enjoy that stereotypical vision of france that you love so much ;)

I'm not a smoker anymore but I always wanted to go to a French cafe and light one up like I've always seen.there ARE smoking sections in restaurants now. but don't go chucking rocks from a glass house; last time i went out for some drinks in CA, even though the bar had a huge cascade of terraces in the back my pals had to go out in the grimy street (minimum 20 ft from the door, line painted on the sidewalk :rolleyes: ) to smoke... but of course forbidden to take any drinks out the door... kind of screws up a night's partying.

i think the rule about smoking in bars-tabac is especially stupid. i'm a 110% non-smoker, but when i go to a bar, i'll live with a little smoke.

you should have watched the game before writing. It's easy to claim sth. like this: Arg in soccer, Spain and France in handball...

It's easy to claim sth. like this: Arg in soccer, Spain and France in handball...to be honest i could have watched it and i still wouldn't have known what i was talking about... my knowledge of sports rules doesn't extend to handball so i'll take your advice and shut up! :o

the thing is, that this was a really hard fought game between two equal teams [qualitywise]. Therefore, there are several debatable decisions. But in the end, Germany had 12 penalty minutes, and France 10. So, it's hard to argue that the refs were on our side.

but I didn't see the Spain game either, so I can't say anything about this. ;)

[Pierre-Henri]

England /Scotland at 17 h 00

Edit : You can see the games on internet

That's 1.69 € per game.

It won't let me see it on the internet since I live in the U.S. I tried using a proxy, but I can't find any good ones.Il dit: "En fonction des accords négociés avec nos partenaires,

I think that's as good a start as we could've hoped for! Hopefully the boys are pumped up to show well this year, just like their soccer brothers were in 1998!

[Pierre-Henri]

Sorry Douai, I didn't know about proxy limitations. Are they stupid or what ? The citizens of the countries they list can watch France 2 without any trouble ... we don't need the internet broadcast. And people who could be interested are not allowed to use it. Go figure :confused: .

Anyway, Chabal is an amazing piece of man. His brain is hardcoded so it's able to compute only one instruction : CHAAAAARGE !

Just try to imagine the thing. You're quietly standing on some lawn, and suddenly you see Chabal running toward you at full speed, with a rugby ball in hand. Your first idea would be :
1) how can I stop this guy ?
2) all in all, curling is the sport I really wanted to do.

Yeah, your exactly right.If I could get France 2 with my cable company I would.

[Anti-footix]

france télévisions is not to blame. they buy the rights to broadcast rugby France National Team and the Six nation tournament for France only, so they cannot broadcast it outside of France, even on the internet.
