Hello Rob,
Rob> And this is the time of year when those of us who like winter go "YAY!"
Rob> It's also the time of year when those of use who hate DST go "YAY! It's the
Rob> REAL time again!" :^)
Do not know what "YAY" is but want to tell you that the French acronym "DST"
means "Direction de la S�curit� du Territoire", "National Security Dept.", aka
"Barbouzes", those guys working with coal on their faces, going to Auckland to
sink a boat and thus killing a journalist.
"DST" operates within France and "territories". So the Auckland drama in fact is
an "act of heroism" of their colleagues of the "DGSE" (Direction G�n�rale de la
S�curit� Ext�rieure) (External Security Dept.)
Ironically, for reasons I do not know, the building in Paris where the DST
(and/or DGSE, do not remember) offices are located is known as "La Piscine" (swimming pool).
FWIW
72!
