Balance of Power

In terms of tourism and international appeal, there has always been a delicate balance of power between Britain and France. Britain has been able to lure in tourists to see the pageantry and majesty of one of 'old Europes' oldest remaining monarchies.

The French have been able to offer decent, and sometimes exceptional food. Cuisine is, after all a French word, and the term 'English cuisine' is one of the great oxymorons of all time.

Until this man came along:

Jamie Oliver, an English chef, has upset this delicate balance of power by becoming something of a sensation. He is apparently very popular with the French.

It would make perfect sense that the French would feel the need to establish a monarchy to restore the balance.

I understand the naked chef did some chef-ting naked at home for his anniversary. Unfortunately he burned his chances of reenacting the wedding night.

Deepest thanks for the pic of Jonny-the-hero, sends me,really sends me!

I didn't realise all of the sausage jokes going the rounds about Jamie were true but the poor boy scorched his todger on the barbeque! This is one wedding anniversary night burned into his memory, pauvre J'aime...

Oh, it's very nice, someone who try to make an effort to speak french, thanks
(it's very good, but the correct sentence is: comparer des cultures, (c') est comme comparer des pommes avec des oranges )

It seems to be a popular choice with Germans.

I'm entirely amused that he burned Mr. Winky on the grill. Successful naked barbecuing is really not all that difficult.

I don't think much of him either.
