Miss France 2006 - Scandale émorme!

[The Riff-Raff Element]

But what is it? Down at the local superette this morning searching for something for dinner I noticed from a poster that France Dimanche

was running an exclusive on the current Miss France, Alexandra

Rosenfeld and that "her past had caught up with her." She may have to

give back her crown, it would seem. Unfortunately I was too late to

purchase a copy of the aforementioned rag. Does anyone know what's

going on??

[JohnM]

I don't know what the story is, but if they name me in the scandal, I want to categorically say "No comment".

 

[Miki]

......and I want to say that it was just a short fling and none of the stories are true, well perhaps a couple  [:)]

[Monika]

We have a lot of "naughty boys" on this forum?? And what can be so bad nowadays to have to give your crown back???

[Ron Avery]

Perhaps like former UK winners she is not a real Miss[:D] and before you think of lady boys,[:P] I was thinking more about a secret marriage in her distant past.

[JohnM]

Errr, No comment.

[Miki]

It was Dick Smith that wot did do it, yer 'onour [;)]

[opas]

The way the UK  Liberals are at the moment, perhaps one of the female members are involved.

[Dick Smith]

Yes - I am officially a 'naughty boy'...

[Deimos]

All the poor girl did was to give “the finger” (gesture) whilst

having a photo taken.  She is only a

teenager so what do people expect ?

Thing is why now – as the “incident” happened early Dec last

year

Ah!  Was she the one who gave the finger on the line up for the Misses on the telly supplement then?

That was very quickly hushed up.  Mme d'Fountney (sp) said that she would find the culprit and punish her severely.  Wouldn't have looked very good if it had been the new Miss.

It is all very exciting yawn yawn.

(nice to know who the naughty boys are though!  See me later Smith and Miki....)

Hells Bells! Is that all?! I was so distracted that the I managed to

type "émorme" instead of "énorme." I was envisaging that she was at

least a transvestite who had been having an affair with J.Chirac and

injecting methamphetamine into his bum. I am very pleased that I have

saved an otherwise wasted €1,80 and I shall instead spend it on sweets

for the girls. The quality of "Sunday scandal" in this country is very

poor.

I hadn't even heard about it.  Is this what the scandal is all about, it's difficult to even tell who the arm belongs to, let alone the finger :

I still don’t quite know why they are “getting at” Alexandra

Rosenfeld – after all, in the “offending photo” she is clearly standing to the

right, and if it’s her finger then her third arm must be over 10 feet long to

reach round everybody’s back and reappear 4 girls down the line-up.

But I guess it all sells papers (or maybe there is another

scandal after all).

The trouble is that nowadays with all this cosmetic surgery not all limbs and organs are in the correct places.

By the look on her face, my guess is on the blond one in the middle, holding a false arm out, just to get someone in trouble with Madame de Fontenay.

Now any of you who want to be Miss France have been warned that Geneviève doesn't put up with any messing about.

I agree with Christine; it's the Blonde! But she is extending a cupped hand, not a finger.

Is hand cupping rude now?

 

[Miki]

Hang on....................it's definitely my finger [:$]

What ho, Tag! Are you back in the land of gueze and waterzoie are are

you still here in God's own country? My two are at an age where they

have a very low minimum bribe level, so the two tubes of smarties I was

able to purchase with my savings were very much appreciated, 

particularly as I am an utter facist in matters of confectionary and

television, which together I regard as being far better candidates for

the Root of All Evil than plain old filthy lucre. But I digress. I saw

your PM, but for whatever complex reason of computing, I seem unable to

reply.

Well here is one of those crossover postings. In the light of Gastines request for earliest memories, I asked my son what his was.

He said 'being on the top deck of the bus with you, we were going past the church with half a steeple, and I smelt chocolate, and I said "chocolate!" and you said some load of old c**p about "there is no chocolate" but there was, wasn't there, because I can remember later catching you'.

And he was right;  undoubtedly I was eating my daily Bounty Bar, secretly, out of my pocket, (because chocolate is so evil, and children must be protected from it) without said boy seeing it, and when he was about 4 he caught me. He was at least 5 before he knew there were more than two Smarties in a tube.

So, Jond. are you worse than I was?

Easing up a BIT with age, but I do try to control their intake of the

dreaded cocoa bean. I went to a school reunion some years ago and was

horrified to see the havoc that excessive chocolate consumption had

wrought upon some of the fragrant creatures of my youth (obesity,

fallen arches, type 2 diabeties, etc) and have nver felt the same about

a Mars Bar since. My efforts are not helped by their surogate

grandmother, a French lady of our long aquaitance who is as long way

from her grandchildren and they are a long way from their grandparents.

She supplies them in secret with the collusion of my wife.

Hi johnd, I come and go between Belgium and 85 as pretty frequently. This end of Wallonia it is mainly boulets frites with sauce Liègeiose or sauce lapin plus a glass or two of péké. My kids need a higher bribe level these days, like help with buying a house or a car. They still pout if they dont get their way though. Agree about TV 'n kids - I have just bought one after ten years without, but only to watch DVD's in bed. When mine were small their viewing was very limited - oh big bad Dad!

Let me know next time you are back - after the farce of the Xmas

excursion in the charbanc to the UK, I have resolved to remain here

unmoved for at least the next 18 months. My children seem to respond

most badly to those dreadful Japanese cartoons that are so beloved of

French TV. So poor has our eldest's behavoir been this morning after a

couple of episodes of "Code Yoko" (I think its spelt like

that) that all further viewings of the offerings from the Land of the

Rising Sun have been suspended indefinately.
