Je lis dans sa bio qu'elle a été programmeur, Miss Canada 1989, étudiante en
finances et en affaires internationales, journaliste, productrice d'émissions de
radio et de télé, et qu'elle est parfaitement bilingue. Ouch!
Après avoir lu ça, je suis prêt à croire le premier qui me dit qu'on vient de
créer un nouveau type de pile au Nickel-Yahourt (NiYt).
I read in her biography that she has been computer programmer, Miss Canada 1989,
student in "Finance and International Business", journalist, radio and TV
producer and that she is fluently bilingual. Ouch!
After reading this, I'm ready to believe the first who says that a new type of
batteries has just been created: the Nickel-Youghourt batteries (NiYt).
The program "Electric Circus" is sometimes broadcasted here in Guadeloupe. When
I watch this program, I think I look just like the wolf in the Tex Avery
cartoons.
Fortunately this program is not scheduled every day. If it was, I guarantee that
any progress in Chess Tiger would be in jeopardy.
