  They might be slow but they get there in the end

  A submission I made on 15th June has just been approved! It's nice to see that submissions to shows without editors do get processed eventually and it only took 168 days.

  Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows you're name...

  That's right I'm back home. Paris was great but I really missed TV. I lay watching CNN for hours the other night because it was the only thing in English. I think it's an addiction, there should be a support group. Something like Teleholics Anonymous. Only better.

  Je suis en Paris!

  Like the title says I'm in Paris for the weekend. It's been a long time (6 years) since I learned French and I'm a little rusty. I can just about get by with enough pointing at things and a handy dictionary. I'm trying not to fall back on the old technique of speaking but slow and loud in the hopes that people will understand. But my French isn't good enough to understand TV so other than BBC News I'll have to live without TV for a few days. That's quite possibly a first for me.
  
  There's a company here called Manga Distribution which does loads of great 80s cartoons on DVD like Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, Thundercats, MASK, He-Man and Transformers. Not all of them are available back home so I wonder how come they can get them in French and we can't get them in English? Makes me wish I spoke French better.
