And I had thought he had been up all night doing his report

Now get back under the stair Colin, until I need you to fetch something for me, there's a good lad.
I though he would haave gone for the easy answer anyway.

The Champs-Élysées decorated with flags for Bastille Day

Prise de la Bastille by Jean-Pierre-Louis-Laurent Houel
Bastille Day is the name given in English-speaking countries to the French National Day, which is celebrated on 14 July each year. In France, it is formally called La Fête Nationale (French pronunciation: ​[la.fɛːt.na.sjɔˈnal] ; The National Celebration) and commonly Le quatorze juillet (French pronunciation: ​[lə.ka.tɔʁz.ʒɥiˈjɛ] ; the fourteenth of July). While the date is the same as that of the storming of the Bastille, July 14 was instead chosen to commemorate the 1790 Fête de la Fédération. It is a symbol of the uprising of the modern nation and of the reconciliation of all the French inside the constitutional monarchy which preceded the First Republic during the French Revolution. Celebrations are held all over France. The oldest and largest regular military parade in Europe is held on the morning of 14 July, on the Champs-Élysées avenue in Paris in front of the President of the Republic, French officials and foreign guests

Happy Rosetta Stone Discovery Day.
On this day in 1799 the Rosetta Stone was found in the Egyptian village of Rosetta by French Captain Pierre-François Bouchard during Napoleon's Egyptian Campaign.
Created in 196BC at Memphis (not the Elvis one) for King Ptolemy V it has it's decree in three languages ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, demotic and Greek script. And so allowed after much clever decoding the reading of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.
Also on this day in 1949 Trevor Horn, the man who invented the 80's was born, and this allows me to put up one of my favourite tracks from my youth
[video=youtube;W8r-tXRLazs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8r-tXRLazs[/video]
You know Colin, I don't think Dads even looked at this today...
And here's me thinking that it being about the Rosetta Stone that it would foster better communication between our cultures what with his being ancient and all that.
You know Colin, I don't think Dads even looked at this today...
Problem is. it's not in Cuniform. Although he may understand smoke signals.
