Underwater ...rugby
No it's not Irish rugby played under continuous fall of rain...
And talking about rugby, last Sunday, saw Clermont beat Munster at home in France, but ASM were unlucky in preventing a defensive crucial bonus point to be awarded to the red army. Damn...

Can Ireland be the next Saudi Arabia ?
Ireland... and its green grass, you can find all over the place. May be this grass can be the new source of richness for Irish, it turns out a Canadian company has developed a new process to create ethanol from the left-over of corn/cereal production, which means basically been able to make ethanol from cellulosic material. Some scientists have tried to calculate the yield by using switchgrass. And now we can dream of producing bio-fuel just by lawn mowing your garden. May be a whole industry could emerge in Ireland, based on shamrock-fuel ?

4 THINGS
WHAT 4 JOBS I HAVE HAD:
Supermarket assistant.
IC mask engineer
4 PLACES I'VE LIVED:
Auvergne (Hauterive/Clermont) - France

Where I grew up, green hills, lovely food. And the place i've done all my studies.

Alpes (Grenoble/Nice) - France

Mountains, where I started my working life.
A view from my window at the time:

Lombardia (Monza) - Italy

A short stay in Italy, but quite interesting, and my first taste of living abroad.
Can't speak a word of Italian, but at the end i did understand it. And it's where i discovered Italians were crazy about soccer.
Munster (Limerick) - Ireland

Where I live at the moment, temple of Irish rugby, despite a bad reputation (stab city), a nice place to live, and quite close from the surf and diving spots.
4 PLACES I'VE BEEN ON HOLIDAY:
Red Sea
My first scuba diving holidays, in hot water, lovely to just need a t-shirt to dive.
Excellent though i had to wait the last dive to spot an octopus.
Corsica

Again scuba-diving holidays.
Spain
My first scuba diving holidays abroad... nice.
Royan - France
Where i used to go on holidays with my parents, when i was (very) young, probably the reason why i love the sea so much.
4 FAVOURITE FOODS:
Omelette with potatoes and some cheese.
Raclette, recipe fro winter survival made of cheese and charcuterie.
"Bleu d'auvergne" a cheese originated from the hills i grew up.
Andouillettes a tasty French sausage made from the colon and stomach of a pig.
4 PLACES I'D LIKE TO VISIT:
New Zealand
For the next world cup and see France win it :-P.
Iceland
To dive in Silfra
Quebec
To see a hockey game, meet people speak "quebecois" and so much more.
Sweden
I like cold countries.
4 PLACES I'D RATHER BE:
NA at the moment.
And you ?
