pachapapa Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 At breakfast this morning whilst listening to France Info I was puzzled by the repetitive diction of Oh Scars.Listening more attentively I was able to surmise that this was the way the Parigot BoBos pronounce Oscars.(Os Cars)Obviously their international cultural references do not stretch beyond the Ile de France.

Mr Ice-ni Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 IMHO any competition based on judges opinion/passing of brown envelopes rather than furthest/fastest/highest/deepest is a waste of space. Added to which anything involving "celebrities" is a further waste of space.And so many people complain that bankers are overpaid.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
