:: deleting hocklinks

For a while there I was keeping a separate blogspot for my links, but I didn't use it much so I'm going to delete it. But before I do, I'll have a poke through and put the useful/interesting stuff here.

OH LA! Oui! En francais!

Somehow it all sounds so much more sophisticated.

LES PETITS SECRETS DU MARIAGE DU SIECLE: "Il y a vingt ans, le 29 juillet 1981, le prince Charles épousait lady Diana Spencer, de douze ans sa cadette, en la cathédrale Saint-Paul à Londres."

Even poor old Céline Dion sounds interesting:
"Plus de 1500 fans ont fait le pied de grue dès l'aube devant la basilique Notre-Dame-du-Sacré-Cour à Montréal attendant que la chanteuse leur montre la création dont elle est plus fière : son bébé miracle, conçu par fécondation in vitro, après la découverte du cancer de René."

The English and Spanish versions are also online. Sigh.

Guillaume Dargaud's home page I stumbled on this while looking for info on Antarctica. It has some fantastic photographs, many of which Guillaume provides in sizes suitable for downloading as wallpaper. He has an interesting little link where you can donate a bit to him via amazon.com if you do download any pictures.

The photos are stunning -- he climbs all over the world and has visited Antarctica four times, plus he's interested in all kinds of everything & has a cracking sense of humour.
