Oh yes, he just finished another season of "Star Academy" which,
frankly, I missed because our TV doesn't really work and with French
TV we didn't really care to make it work. :)

Sadly, "Union Libre" no longer airs - I enjoyed it.  Christine Bravo
has a new show on France 2 called "Douce France" which I haven't
seen but AFAIK it applies the same principle behind "Union Libre" to
the various regions of France.

To re-assure my French audience, I wasn't really inspired by Nikos
Aliagas, as cool as he may be.  I have several ideas for Gaulish
based languages, and I've recently become fond of Greek.  A merging
of the two could have some (con-)historical basis too.  Mostly, I
think it would be fun, and as I'm going to study koiné in seminary
anyway I might as well get used to the language.

Cheers,
Eamon
