Hi Folks, We have finally got a home of our own, with a lovely sustainable, solar powered hoster. As we have now gone into full on organic herb production we thought it time to have our own blog and web site for the herbs, the as yet uncompleted Gites and life in general. We can now be found at www.MontrouchOrganic.com Hope to see you soon

March like an Egyptian

YouTube - The Bangles - Walk Like An Egyptian ( official music video ): ""

Alternative and contemporary lyrics by Peter Thompson
March Like an Egyptian

All the old presidents in the Middle East
They do the Tharir dance don't you know
If they move too slow (oh whey oh)
They're falling down like a domino

All the revolutionaries by the Nile
They got the army on the run

Gold crocodiles (oh whey oh)
They snap their teeth on your machine gun

The rest of us sitting on the bus say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
March like an Egyptian

Brave waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the square
They've got the moves (oh whey oh)
You drop your stone then they bring you more

All the school kids so sick of spooks
They like the punk and the metal band
When the buzzer rings (oh whey oh)
They're marching like an Egyptian

All the kids in the central square say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
March like an Egyptian

Move your feet along the street straighten your back
Lift your stone then you pull it back
Life is hard you know (oh whey oh)
So strike a pose on an Army Tank

If you want to find all the cops
They're hanging out in the donut shop
They run and hide (oh whey oh)
Bring their clubs right down on their back

All the Japanese with their yen
The party boys call the Kremlin
And the Chinese know (oh whey oh)
We’ll march the line like Egyptians

All the cops hiding in the donut shop say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
March like an Egyptian
March like an Egyptian

French trader guilty over Soci�t�G�n�rale scandal | Business | guardian.co.uk

Wonderfully insane decision, how can a young kid take such an extreme position on the market and nobody, nobody notice? Just goes to show how totally out of control the banks were, and still are.

If anyone else showed this total lack of internal management towards risk they would be judged incapable of running a business, instead we the public have to stand as the lender of last resort- at such a huge cost.

Another project to have a look at

No Pressure & climate communication: what does the research say?

No Pressure & climate communication: what does the research say?

Note to self. Must come back to this one- there is a lot to be said about the state of the 'Green' NGO and indeed Climate Change public work in general that needs to be addressed

Yazz- The only way is up

Reminds me of a number of drunken gigs in London in the late 80s
