[big bad fab]

"Pink city" is out and we are now in the top 10 !

Edu seems to have forgotten us here... Come back, Edu !

Tours
La Rochelle

Tours is really a surprise, I think, in this top 10 (benefiting from a great absentee ).
Besançon is another one, though it's a fine city, regularly undervalued.
And, sorry Hash, but Rennes is the last one that isn't completely in place here.

[Hans-im-Glück]

La Rochelle
Saint-Malo

[Hash]

Bordeaux
La Rochelle

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Toulouse not even in top 10 and losing the battle of the Garonne, how crazy...

Tours and Besançon are 2 others of my favorites . Haven't been to the 2nd one but both seems 2 very decent and pleasant cities to live in, especially the latter, and, Tours has the advantage of TGV and Besançon of landscapes around it.

Bordeaux
Saint-Malo

[Nhoj]

Bordeaux
Lyon

[Edu]

I would have tried to save Tolouse last round

La Rochelle
Annecy

[big bad fab]

Bordeaux

So... you want war, Hash ?!?

[big bad fab]

As it seems that Tours won't work immediately,

Rennes
Saint-Malo

Let me be clear, Hash: Rennes really deserves to go for some rounds now (it's a city without a real soul, with a very disappointing architecture, with boring politics and with an average history), so, as Tours can't be ousted now, I try Rennes.

As for Saint-Malo, well, this is indeed war, but because I see it as the only way to save Bordeaux now.

Frankly, Bordeaux going before Tours, Rennes and even Nantes, I wouldn't understand.
Even Besançon, it's arguable; but Tours and Rennes...

[Nhoj]

Bordeaux
Lyon

[Edu]

Annecy
Rennes

Bordeaux

Yay, this is total war

[Hash]

Let me be clear, Hash: Rennes really deserves to go for some rounds now (it's a city without a real soul, with a very disappointing architecture, with boring politics and with an average history), so, as Tours can't be ousted now, I try Rennes.

As for Saint-Malo, well, this is indeed war, but because I see it as the only way to save Bordeaux now.

And let me be clear. I vote based a vast number of criterions, among which picking petty fights with others is never an objective and trying to get 'revenge' is rarely if even an objective.

[Hans-im-Glück]

Rennes

Oh yeah, that was just that my double Breton vote would have seemed a bit weird after your first Bordeaux vote.
That was half fortuitous;).
Well, suren, I vote for Saint-Malo now just because I want to save Bordeaux.

My comment was more an apology than anything else .

Autrement dit, je voulais juste éviter une mauvaise interprétation de ta part: mon vote n'était pas une réponse à ton propre vote pour Bordeaux, simplement le fait que Rennes arrivait "à maturité" dans ma liste et que Saint-Malo apparaissait comme une des seules possibilités de tenter de sauver Bordeaux.
Mais mon anglais reste souvent (de plus en plus !?) obscur et abscons et ma volonté de clarification n'est pas toujours féconde

Toutes mes remarques guerrières n'étant bien entendu que des plaisanteries potaches ... bien faibles, je l'admets humblement !

[Edu]

[off topic]Ok, i thought i had forgotten quite a bit of french (i haven't spoken or read it more or less since high school) but i'm happy that i managed to understand what Fab wrote [/off topic]

Bravo ! Pourtant, certaines tournures de phrases étaient quelque peu délicates à saisir pour qui ne maîtrise pas entièrement la langue de Molière

One day or the other, you may reveal to us what you've studied and what's your "business", as you seem to have travelled so much and to know so many countries (and languages ) so well.
By saying this, we are at least sure of one thing: you're not French !
As we are the worst people for foreign languages and for knowledge of foreign countries (excluding US Americans of course).

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

The dynamic La Rochelle before the sleepy Bordeaux, boys...

Bordeaux (when you come to think about it, it's rather ironical that this wanna-be-Paris city but which never went beyond the level of small ersatz of it has also been the place of the failed statesmen (Chaban, Juppé), and of the failed political attempt at replacing Paris (Reynaud)

Saint-Malo

[off topic]Ok, i thought i had forgotten quite a bit of french (i haven't spoken or read it more or less since high school) but i'm happy that i managed to understand what Fab wrote [/off topic]

Congrats then, because, yes, as he just said, he used a rather soutenu (very formal) language.

As we are the worst people for foreign languages and for knowledge of foreign countries (excluding US Americans of course).

Turks could also compete with both of us maybe, oh and, maybe most people of which English is the mother language as well, and well most others will make efforts to speak English because it became an over dominating language around the world and haven't that cultural over-pride that French or Turks can have (justified sometimes! indeed), but not sure speaking several languages would be something developed in any countries anyhow

[Edu]

Well, what i got from what he said is basically that he wanted to avoid a misinterpretation of his votes and how he was voting for Rennes not to retaliate against Hash for voting for Bordeaux but that in his opinion it's time in his list for Rennes to go and that his Saint Malo vote was a possible attempt to save Bordeaux.
His second phrase is harder for me to get, i understand some parts but i haven't been able to put the whole sentence coherently.
And then he says something about how his angry remarks aren't really that, but they are in jest and then he admits something which i don't understand.

I thought it was mostly correct but now you are all giving me doubts I figure there were some turns of phrases there, so i might be wrong.

And to answer Fab, I'm studying Political science in the Buenos Aires state university and I'm currently working a few hours in a law firm, nothing too interesting. I don't actually go to class in the university, i just sign up for exams and then i study by myself during the year.

I don't really know a lot of languages. Spanish (obviously), English since I was 5 and French for 4 – 5 years in high school. I guess that I can understand Italian decently enough. And I know a few words of Russian and Arabic but nothing usefull for a conversation, just some basic usual words to greet or thank someone (ok, I can also say Tovarish in Russian but I can't spell it ). I guess visiting Russia and a few Arab countries in the past few years made me pick up something of the language. That's as far as my "expertise" goes, but just with Spanish and English I manage to get around everywhere.

I travel a lot because of my father who also likes to travel. Since I was 6 or 7 he started taking me twice a year to visit other countries. For the first few years it was just Uruguay, Chile and especially Brazil (country that I visited several times) and then starting in 1999 with a trip to South Africa and Zimbabwe we have travelled to most of south, central and North America, about half of Europe and a few African countries (and the UAE). My parents are divorced so it was also an opportunity to spend time with my dad. Since a couple of years ago I've been travelling less because I wanted to pay for my share of the trip and I've only been mildly successful, In fact I didn't travel anywhere in July because the Dubai trip in January drained me of resources

I have pictures of every trip since 96 more or less (half on digital camera and the other half on the old cameras), I guess I can post some in the forum sometime

[big bad fab]

My English isn't clear at all (and it's even worse with the time maybe...) and when I want to clear a thing, it's worse, in fact.
My jokes are bad, I admit it with humility: that' what I said to Hash.

Congrats, Edu. No, don't doubt of yourself on this, you were right.


Glad to see that a VERY BAD ROUND for me (even worse than Beria's ousting in some other survivor ) is compensated for by some details on Edu's life !

[big bad fab]

Famous and completely renewed Place de la Bourse


Quinconces (it's in Asterix !), with Girondins monument (yeah, Girondins, those opposed to Montagnards and Jacobins !)


Great Theater, a cultural must


Big Ben


Pont de Pierre, with as many arks as letters in Napoleon Bonaparte


Small échoppes bordelaises, typical small houses of 18th and 19th centuries.

Must we finish this survivor ? Really ?

[Hash]

Tours
Annecy

[big bad fab]

DIAF. Sometimes, these letters come to my mind too

OK, let's find the force to keep on voting

Rennes
(it's even worse for me to see Bordeaux go before this outrageously overvalued Rennes, so architecturally anarchical, so grey, so rotten in the inside - so many buildings collapse or burn, it's amazing....)
Tours

With Paris, Angers, Nancy, Troyes, Colmar and... Bordeaux out, it's difficult to have a favourite now.
