YCCMB Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Setting other considerations aside for a brief moment, I note that the BBC announced that "M Hollande announced he was splitting from his long-term partner" (my italics). Long term? I thought she only moved in with him in 2007. That's not exactly "long term", is it? That's a seven-year itch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillan Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 So he is the President of France. He goes off and shags another woman (several times). Partner finds out (and the rest of the world) so he dumps HER. He is like a teenager "I dumped her first", no wonder the country is in the state it is, we have a juvenile running it. I really hope she does not go quietly into the night. Mind you it may all have been set up seeing as the last I read he is not going to any further with the magazine and photographer involved.

Quillan Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 His behavior makes me angry but if I were a woman I would be absolutely livid. I bet Sarkozy has not laughed so much in years at the stupidity of Hollande. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nectarine Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 seems she didn't go quietly, being a feisty kind of woman. I'm sure she gave him the earbashing of a lifetime before departing for La Lanterne ...Segolene Royale must be chuckling to herself over her morning croissant and coffee this morning ...

Clair Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 If various sources are to be believed, he'd be playing 'hide the sausage' with Valérie T. for two years before Ségo R. called it quits (after her failed presidential campaign.)It would appear he's been playing the same game, also for two years with Julie G. behind Valérie T.'s back.If he sticks to the pattern, it is possible he may come out as Sarko's main supporter in a few months...

Chancer Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 All through this juvenile episode these words have been ringing in my ears."Moi président de la république................"And now I have found the clip, the best bit is at exactly one minute [:D] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53b-pBPvjmA What really is noticeable is the facial expression, back then he was exuding confidence and projected his-self as a competent président and I am sure he believed he was, I felt that his expression changed very quickly to that of a show off close to drowning in a swimming pool, not wanting to show his fear but unable to hide it.what do you think?

[/quote]I know, good isn't it. I actually type what I want to say and if the system does not like it then you get the stars come up. I always thought 'shag' was slang rather than an expletive or swear word like the C or F word. I remember typing the slang for a confidence trickster (a *** artist) once only to see the word came out as stars. Somebody (higher up) had added the word to the 'nasty list' because in French it is a swear word apparently. Would never have known that until it happened. The list does apply to all posts regardless of who makes them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chancer Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 C*n is not a swear word in French Quillan, it means a fool, not even as strong as an idiot however the male and female derivatives of it which have a few more letters are swear words, bet the filter doesnt work on them, will have a try in the test area and then delete them.To give you a clue an English couple were dead set to name their new born Connor [:-))] and were persuaded against it in no uncertain terms.

Clair Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 [quote user="Chancer"]C*n is not a swear word in French Quillan, it means a fool, not even as strong as an idiot...[/quote]Beg to differ...The word may be money courante (see! I can do Franglais too! [:P]), but it is used because it's meant to be an insult and cause offence.For me, it is as offensive to me as its English-language equivalent.Quite coincidentally, I'm in the middle of a discussion with Amazon.fr on a similar topic, as a book using a derivative of the French word in its title keeps appearing on my Amazon page under "best-seller"... Having failed to find a way to remove the book from appearing as a "recommended buy", I resorted to contacting Amazon to ask them to do it for me (and other users who may share my distaste for offensive words when they click to view their Amazon page.)

[/quote]This is the reason why I disagree with this privacy thing in France. He has not behaved with honour, he been dishonest and he has behaved in a deceitful way (bit like DSK) and that’s just his private life. Now people will say "yes but that’s his private life and it is separate" but is it? If it is in a persons personality to behave this way they can't just turn it off and on, they are what they are and therefore it casts a shadow over his ability to hold high office and lead a country. Personally I think he should resign especially already having lost the support of the public anyway. This should be the nail in his coffin but no doubt he will carry on.
