Chancer Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I was reading the French version, the first and further references to parquet were swallowed by my "lets just ignore that and continue" filter untill I was thinking subliminally that the handyman had whacked him with a length of parquet. Lord only knows how my brain functions but perhaps in the background it was pondering with something like, hit by a blunt object, the parquet to be precise?Later on when the parquet described that the alleged attacker had been working for several weeks for the victim my subliminal brain reported back to my conscious one "that cant be right can it?" I am heartened that google translate has the same problems, I will have to look up parquet later, perhaps a porte parole or insider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 in this context:le parquet = the magistrate(s) charged with defending the interests of society (common law) under the direction of the prosecution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cendrillon Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 This story has gone very quiet. I read in Sud-Ouest that the French police are waiting for information from the British police who have picked-up and are questioning the suspect. Has anyone any more news?

If he doesn't appeal then he would be extradited within the following 10 days.http://www.sudouest.com/dordogne/actualite/article/641993/mil/4797333.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitty Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 "Shoot for the moon and if you miss you will still be among the stars."WB - may I digress for a little while?Moonraker - about your strapline - the stars are nowhere near the moon. Surely, it should be "if you shoot for the stars and you miss, you could land on the moon"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
