Harvey - 
Frankly, I'm not a bit surprised that you don't recall and/or don't understand why you were a menace to (female) society.

Your gargantuan consumption of wine, women and song (prior to your lovely wife, of course) likely neutralized your conscience and eradicated most memories you have of that time, long, long ago. 

In my "broad" experience, that maladie occurs much more frequently to men than women. Must be something in the jeans, err, genes.

Hi Kevin - 

You are certainly right about the expulsion of Larry and myself from Houston. 
However, I'm not sure why Harvey was deported. Rumor has it that it could have been for several reasons - his unending armed robberies of children's lemonade stands, his pathological need to frequent "gentlemen's" clubs or his persistent loitering around women's bathrooms in government buildings. I suppose we'll never know -

Alex, Kevin, and all the members,
 
Yesterday evening, I was very angry because I did'nt intend the Christmas potluck for I was informed the snow were announced at the end of the afternoon and I had to drive back to Cussac ( 40 kms from Bordeaux). And,we didn't see any snow! But now, the snow is falling down.
 
I hope you enjoyed your pot luck.Merry Christmas and Happy Year.
See you next year.

<<The Remains of the Day is one of the finest books I have ever read in the English language.
 
Haven't read it, or anything of Ishiguro's for that matter, thanks for the thumbs up,i'll look out for it.

The Remains of the Day (1989), is set in post-war England, and tells the story of an elderly English butler confronting disillusionment as he recalls a life spent in service, memories viewed against a backdrop of war and the rise of Fascism. It was awarded the Booker Prize for Fiction, and was subsequently made into an award-winning film starring Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson.

Hi Dirk.
As you most likely  guessed I had confused the book
by Isiguro  Kazou with the one by Yomo Kamatau.
I think it was called  "At days end"
Any road up, I have now read "the Remainder etc " and found it a bit bizare.
So frightly British don't cha know.
I wonder what our French members will make of it.
Before I leave it back in can you let us have the list of questions
you have no doubt prepared.
 
Ta ever so.

Hello to all,
 
I would like to thank Dolores for her beautiful e-card which is so poetic and faithful to the Christmas spirit.
Sadly, I was not able to attend any event this term but I am hoping to make a fresh start in January and take a more active part in the life of the association.  In the meanwhile, I wish you all happy holidays and a very successful and rewarding New Year.
 
May I add however that I have been shocked by some of the comments made on this forum of late ... I refrained from replying to those comments because I felt it would be utterly fruitless and could only lead to more bitterness.  But in a more positive spirit, I would like to say that all the years I spent with my African American family in Brooklyn were amongst the happiest in my life, and far from subjecting me to a world of crime, laziness and ignorance, were a source of deep spiritual and personal enrichment.
 
À bientôt pour la Fête des Rois,
Kindest regards to all,
Pascale

Hi you all.
You do realise that in 30 to 40 years it will be obligatory to
be homosexual to be appointed to any county or gouvernment
post in the USA.
I hear on the grapevine that non -homosexuals are being expelled
from Houston. This is why Harvey and Larry and Victoria have had
to remove themselves to France.
Thomas.
Do you not realise that most of what you say is offensive to those of us
who are tollerant  to the differences  between people.
I do not care if there are homosexual priests or nuns or bishops .
What I do not accept is that the Catholic Church permitted pedofile
priests to continue in their positions in order not to bring scandal
on the church.
There are of course pedofiles in all churches, governments and as
they say in England on every No; 10 bus.
You should learn to be tollerant, or keep you opinions to yourself.
 
Kevin.

Alex, Kevin, and all the members,
 
Yesterday evening, I was very angry because I did'nt intend the Christmas potluck for I was informed the snow were announced at the end of the afternoon and I had to drive back to Cussac ( 40 kms from Bordeaux). And,we didn't see any snow! But now, the snow is falling down.
 
I hope you enjoyed your pot luck.Merry Christmas and Happy Year.
See you next year.

Kathryn - 
In theory, you are  absolutely right. 
However, the US Anglican Church decided to overturn a ban on the appointment of gay bishops. The decision was made at the church's General Convention in California. The resolution was passed by wide margins by both of the church's main decision-making bodies, the House of Bishops and the House of Deputies.

The US Catholic Church has yet to relax the ban against openly gay priests - although "closeted" gay priests and nuns are a well-known fact.

Hi Kathryn,
 
The bishops Victoria are referring to are in the Anglican church (Church of England, or the Episcopal church in the US).
 
It certainly raised a few eyebrows when the Episcopal church's first woman bishop was also black and lesbian. Le grand slam, quoi ;-)
 
The issue of homosexual clergy has unfortunately driven a wedge into the Anglican community. The Church of England accepts women clergy, and voted last year to accept women bishops, although I don't know if there are any  yet. However, the English church is much less liberal than its American counterpart with regard to homosexual priests and especially bishops:
 
The divisiveness is an open sore with regard to the Anglican church in Africa, which rules out homosexual clergy as contrary to biblical stricture and does not accept it among the clergy.
 
This has led to a schism in the Anglican communion, part of which refuses the moral authority of the Archbishop of Canterbury.

All the best,
Alex
