I don't know, I've never drunk beer in France, apart from Heineken, which doesn't really count as French. I went to France some years back; it was an emergency call, someone (an inside job) planted a trojan in a company, and they were having big problems. So, I flew out, worked on the servers for some hours, and it was 2 am before I could leave things in a reasonable state. And then I was hungry, having not eaten so long that my stomach thought my throat'd been cut, so we went out to get something to eat. Almost everywhere was closed, but there was one place open, almost empty, quite big, so we went there. I was working my way through a bouillabaise, wondering what some of the potentially edible things floating in it were, when suddenly, the cabaret started up. Two people jumped up from a table, and started brawling across the room, while we sat there watching the performance. Eventually, the show was over, so we got back to eating. I didn't think it was much good, but I'm British, and we British are terribly polite, so I applauded."Why are you clapping?" said my French companions to me. It was at that point that I realised that it wasn't a cabaret. > Should the beer fall short of the minimum > distance, what disaster amelioration measures will you take? In case of emergency, open barrel and douse flames in processed beer. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
