I saw on the news today that President Sarkosy was accused of being drunk at the G8 summit after a meeting with the russian president Vladamir Putin. He appeared to be breathless, stiffling a laugh and lost for words and was said to have drunk more than just water by the Belgian press. Other sources say that he is teetotal and was suffering a stomache upset, after watching the video on youtube I can not decide, What do you think?

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, it took one amateur to build the Ark and a bunch of professionals to build the Titanic.

Personally, I haven't seen enough of Sarkosy to tell from that clip if he's acting strangely or not (okay, he is acting weird, but maybe that's normal for him for all I know!?!)

I vote for him not being drunk : he takes so much care of his public image, he wouldn't do something so stupid . Plus I also watched another longer Youtube video, he doesn't stammer at all (you should hear me after my first glass of wine at "apéritif"...) .
Annette is right, he is just his usual grimacing self, with maybe some additional stomach cramps ...

I saw the video and I found it totally hilarious !! But everything Sarko does or says, I love it !! Why ? just because he married me 12 years ago (12 years sharp, it was june 18th 1995) when he was "just" the mayor of Neuilly-Sur-Seine !!

Well, Putin's government has taken a rather active role in poisoning its oponents lately. Thank God the Soviet Union has been reformed!

Now that someone has admitted to it too, I will come clean.......I also thought that Anne meant she was his wife and had to ask Shoesy via Pm about it, I even googled it to find out what his first and second wives names were, WHAT A PLONKER!!!!

That is too funny ! Sorry for the misunderstanding ! Well, I have a good excuse, english is not my mother tongue ! So, to be clear, he performed our wedding ceremony.
But you know what, he actually met his then future-wife Cecilia when he married her (= performed her wedding ceremony) with a famous Frenchman Jacques Martin. He even told Jacques Martin, during the ceremony : "what a lucky man you are today". Some months later, they were having an affair , she divorced Martin and married Sarko !!
Ahhh, the French and their mistresses !!

holger: I am not switching so if the rest of you leave, it will be farewell. Makes no sense to create a new site instead of just posting here. have enough work related list servs and blogs to read and respond to. Certainly don't need ano Feb 24, 2015 16:47:51 GMT -5

holger: It really does seem as if the site is moribund. Too bad and as I no longer have emails for anyone on my computer just want to wish you all well. I do check periodically but mostly now go to slow travel and the France forum there. Apr 22, 2015 7:54:32 GMT -5
