I’m an alien, so I didn’t vote. But I would have voted no, having a basic suspicion of saying yes (founded upon a very misspent youth) to things that I don’t understand.
DUH!
Have to say though, how insulting is it that our ‘yes’ politicians are putting todays vote down to misinformation, protest voting and default voting, anything other than the will of the people who elected them? Don’t they credit us with basic literacy and a brain?
Yay to Libertas, by the way!!
Tara: Ugh. I was the teenager from hell. Ask me Ma! x
Thrifty: There you go with the Friedman stuff again. Explain pls x
We feel very grateful for the “no” to the referendum, as we are among the french people who voted “no” and whose vote was not taken for granted.
Thank you very much, have a nice day,
Claudine and Hubert.
Well, I got the text of the treaty from them, as opposed from any of my elected representatives, so that’s a big fat THANKS as far as I’m concerned.
(So long as Friendman chappies aren’t into greyhound puppy eating or anything icky…)
Now, on to more interesting gossip – Missus! Misspent youth? If you won’t ‘fess up, I’ll bribe yer Ma…
I Googled that feller Milton Friedman and Wiki tells me he was an advocate of free trade…
I’m going to come out now and confess that I lose all sense of numbers once you put a euro sign in front of them…
May I pop over to yours for a ‘splenation?
In English now!

Ma: But I’m lubly now… x
Jen: Aw you know all about it. It was all smoking, boys, staying out late, answering back and slamming doors. General teenagery stuff. I don’t think I’d want to have been my parents, although there wasn’t anything too drastic, as in illegal or anything. Oh, apart from the tattoo…
Mis-spent youth eh? I was a sulky little madam of the highest order, the usual big sighs and ‘you don’t understand!’ stuff, slamming of doors and a phone bill incomprehensible to my poor old dad. Left getting the tattoo until I was 25 though
Wee One: Ooh, glad it wasn’t just me, then. I’d actually quite like another tattoo now although I do regret that first one x
