Two chronicles on the same day! We're blessed! Gloria in excelsis Deo!

Don't mess with french hunters. They are armed. And sometimes loaded (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ts5JQY__nWU).

Try une terrine de sanglier with a good bottle of Minervois, it may help you to see hunters differently ^^

Well no, I'm vegetarian. The last time I ate wild boar, it was in sausages brought to my barbecue by the ex-editor of Macworld about 10 years ago. They were good, mind.

Two chronicles and a BOFH. Mon dieu! Looks like I took the wrong day to not be at my PC until the evening. Still a flagon of beer to you all.

Wonder if Tom Lehrer's hunting song could be an appropriate description?

I am with Comrad Potemkine about french hunters. For having to cope with them in La Beauce of my youth (and it's probably worse in more trigger-happy regions like Sologne or Sud-Ouest), I am afraid they are more closer to the depiction by "Les inconnus" comedy trio ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuGcoOJKXT8) than to the sympathetic Obelix...

Glad to see you back at The Register. I wonder however why your new chronicles aren't displaying under the tag "something for the WE, sir", but I'm niggling. Thanks for the fun !
