Please read
this very carefully and you'll agree with me that, either The Guardian was able to hide spy cameras in very sensitive places right under the nose of french presidential security.. or they are in dire need of a Spelling Mistress. Laurie, maybe you could get a job with them...
Edit
Oh, no!
I just revisited the site
They noticed the spelling error and they corrected it. Now there is nothing to see. What I noticed in the original version was the sentence
The Guardian wrote: At 41%, they are his lowest ratings since his election - and owe much to his slowness to push through convincing economic reforms and his very public romance.
However the last "L" was missing

25 years and she could not gather enough of the local language, or find someone speaking Malay, to explain her predicament? What about pointing on a map?
And since our Pure Evil master-fun-stumbler has gone AWOL
(another proof of her Pure Evilness) I keep the thread active with this news about origami from space (only Japanese could come up with ideas like that)

I think the woman in the first article was merely using that as an excuse to escape her EIGHT children *boggle* It's the only explanation.

How about

Definitely more than 8 kids, and she did not run away from them

The wonderful thing about not planning
Is that failure comes as a complete surprise
And is not preceded by a period of worry or depression

Potentially quite offensive but I found it to be amusing. The comments are almost as amusing to read as the video itself.

I am intrigued by how many people are prepared to vote on some of these issues where they plainly just expressing a totally un-researched opinion.

Something tells me there's more to that story than "accidental shooting death"...
