Good point. Most people don't know that French vineyards were
destroyed by rot and vine cuttings from California were sent to France
to re-plant them.

---
In all fairness, where'd the grapevines in California come from?

Illegal immigrants ?

Check out "Agostin Hraszthy".

And Google prefers Agoston as the spelling of his Christian name ....

I don't drink Beaujolais... I find it too weak-kneed, sort of like
wine-flavored water or mouth wash ;-)

In reds I prefer wines with considerable "tongue" such as Merlot,
Cabernet, Zinfandel or Shiraz.

Putting Merlot in the same class as Cabernet and Shiraz (Hermitage)
implies a certain lack of discrimination. He probably doesn't notice
the difference between Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.

ISTM that he was grouping the wines because of their sharing of a
similar characteristic, not by their differences.

Not only "the right" the French Government is universally loathed - even

It's Ok to look out for No 1 - but at least one should be frank & honest
about it; For Example: It does not create the best impression of one's
principled character to be slagging the US for attacking Falluja while at
the same time French Fighter jets and Combat Helicopters are pounding the
shit out of Cote d'Ivoriere to defend the interests of ELF;

Although - funnily enough - 'the left' seem willing to forgive the terrorist
attack on Rainbow Warrier by the French secret service merely because the
French Government are dissing the US!

Nijmegen is *not* a village.

Clearly you have a real problem understanding the language. "Sloman" is also
not a native of the village!

Nijmegen is a city in the Netherlands of about 150.000 inhabitants. Nijmegen is
a very old city, it was founded some 2000 years ago by Emperor Traian of the
Romans, as a camp to protect the border of the Roman Empire. Charles the Great
(Charlemagne) also lived in the city for quite some time.

So it an OLD village.
I've visited a village in India with a population of 240,000!

Nijmegen was given a charter by rooms-koning Hendrik VII in 1230. Enough
evidence to say that Nijmegen is not a village.

Jim Thompson isn't an idiot, but he's so convinced of his own
omniscience, that he regularly produces bits of misinformation that
look pretty idiotic - it isn't what you know that trips you up, but
what you think you know that ain't so.

I am clearly not the one with a problem! In fact I have no problem at all!
Sloman stipulated: born in Australia, educated in the US, Married an American
who is employed, and he lives in Nijmegen collecting a form of welfare and
spends all his time being a pest on the news group.

1. Village Idiot
In 1555, Nostradamus wrote:
Come the millennium, month 12, in the home of greatest power, the village idiot
will come forth to be acclaimed the leader.

2. Village Idiot
The stupidest or most idiotic person in a particular village, as elected by the
local populace. The kind who would steal all the sugar from an overturned lorry
and go door-to-door trying to sell it.

foodstuff should be turned over to the village idiot.' Since I don't see him

Paul, a hillbilly, is the village idiot. His IQ must be 88, at most.

4. Village Idiot
A gormless gimp who couldn't find his arse with both hands.


GET IT! Or are you running for the title?

Nijmegen is a city in the Netherlands of about 150.000 inhabitants.
Nijmegen is a very old city, it was founded some 2000 years ago by Emperor
Traian of
the Romans, as a camp to protect the border of the Roman Empire. Charles
the
Great (Charlemagne) also lived in the city for quite some time.

So it an OLD village.
I've visited a village in India with a population of 240,000!

A village is smaller than a city! Typical city = 250,000

So if you want to be a real wiseacre you'd at least try to know what you're
writing about.

I KNOW precisely. Your lack of humor and dry critical perspective is not
healthy.

Neither Bill Sloman nor I nor anybody else claims Bill to be born in
Nijmegen. Bill only claims to live there.

See above!

According to archeologists Nijmegen had municipal rights in the Roman times
already allthough the exact dates and contents are not known. There's not
much written evidence left.

Salton City has Municipal rights and a population of 1,250. That is a Village!

Nijmegen was given a charter by rooms-koning Hendrik VII in 1230. Enough
evidence to say that Nijmegen is not a village.

It is only his opinion. Not evidence!
Unless he will appear in court to testify to this it is NOT evidence! Also NOT
valid if it is hearsay!

If you still don't understand I can translate into Dutch or German for you.

Or "Geez" or some other vague language? So you can use Babblefish, so what?

Next time you want to pretend something read carefully, think, do some
research of your own, think again and you'll find out you'd better keep
silent.

I make no pretence, I did the research, you simply do not understand what was
said and there by exhibit an ego driven propensity to excess criticism and
veiled insults that would be expected from a person of shallow intellect.

I would also recommend that your smart mouth will get you into serious trouble
someday. But that is why you hide behind a false identity, like most people on
this group, to avoid you just rewards!

"petrus bitbyter" = A prime nut case!
He is aspiring to be named "The Village Idiot!"

Telling Clarence to read carefully, think, or do some research on his
own, is making unreasonable demands. Clarence is one of our irrational
right-wingers, a member of a group whose common characteristic is that
their truth is defined by what they know now, and cannot be enlarged
or corrected by the usual methods of scholarship or common sense.

Any suggestion that his opinion might be formed by reading or
investigation (let alone corrected by counter-examples) is an insult
to his fanaticism and the divine source of his inspiration.
