Swissie Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Martine Aubry is not really the queen of French elegance. Perhaps we should take note of what politicians say and mainly DO - rather than what they were, be they men or women? Maybe ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 And if Gordon Brown was French maybe he'd be sexier - honestly as long as she does the job who cares (within reason) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Coeur de Lion Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Indeed. Sexier implies that he is sexy in the first place.Secret crush peutêtre Russet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swissie Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 LOL !But why is it OK for men politicians to look less than perfect and dress less than perfect - in as much as it does not affect their political status - but not for women?I want 'my' politicians to be good at politics and have vision and humanity, please.Worst thing is, when women politicans look good and dress well, they will be called 'bimbos' or 'vain'.

Frenchie Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 So do I then, because I agree 100% with what she wrote!it always irritates me when you hear comments such as " Ségolène Royal, très en beauté et dans un tailleur plus printannier que celui de... ; a déclaré "We want them to represent us and help society go in the right way , it is not haute couture !!For some reason, you never hear or read " mr Sarkozy, les traits tirés dans un costume sombre, a déclaré ..

Swissie Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Perhaps because I am (adopted/adoptee!). I am perhaps one of the very few here who actually had to swear an oath of allegiance to HRH in order to achieve this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NormanH Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Shouldn't this thread be entitled 'if Harriet Harman were French'?i.e a subjunctive to show something that is imagined, as opposed to a second conditional which would tale a simple past.

mint Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Norman, no time to talk about the subjunctive at this moment. Don't mind talking about the subjunctive in French, especially as they use the subjunctive a lot more than we do in English.Just want you to look at the PM I have sent you as I still have the tune in my head and can't get rid of it.Not only that, the bass line is quite haunting, IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celine Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I was interested by the question on The National Lottery last week, "Who is the husband of Carla Bruni?" and not Who is the wife of Nicolas Sarkosy. I think this suggests where the main attraction lies. The presenter then went on to extol Carla's beauty a good few minutes on prime time UK TV.
