monaco begins to be affected by the strikes in the transport and with station of gaziol. The workers who go to monaco to work, have less and less trains and bus to go there because there are strikes in the transports, and there is less and sometimes no more gazoil in the stations in the Paca because there is also strikes in the raffineries.
 
That's what I was afraid of. It was inevitable, I suspect.

However, Sarko has got a part of his legislation through .... watch this space!

Zonk, I live 20 minutes from the cruise liners' berth ! You will be shipped by motor boat to the landing stage (which is being rebuilt - but not specially for you :))
 
OH not for me :)

I am very excited. We are stopping in Scotland, Ireland and England. Its the British Isles Cruise.
 
The quay is known as Hawes Pier. Some pics: Photos* -* Firth of Forth


***********************************
I wonder if PA and Sarko will be discussing the strikes and their fallout ??
It must be nice to be able to talk things through at Montreux....

From the Elysée Palace:

Site officiel - Présidence de la République

Discours à l'occasion du XIIIe Sommet de la Francophonie à Montreux - Présidence de la République

***********************************
Riviera Radio just announced two further strike dates: 28th October and 6th November.
 
One advantage Monaco has is that they can route tourists through Italy and helicopter them to Monaco. That's not practical for workers though.
 
Yes, no shortage of helipads along the Alpes-Maritimes !

However, the inhabitants of Nice are not happy with the proliferation of the 'copters.
 
On Thursday, in the Cathedral, there will be the funeral of the Monegasque sculptor Emma de Sigaldi.

Rainier was a great fan of hers, and there is bound to be a large turn out.
I would say PA will also attend.

Monaco has many sculptures (indoors and outdoors) by Emma de Sigaldi, so she won't be forgotten for a while.

The annual fête of AS Monaco football club took place on Wednesday in the Auditorium Rainier III. The main event: choosing the best sportsman/woman of the year. This time it's a woman, the athlete Sonia Delprete.

PA was there to congratulate the winner.

Trade missions to Poland and the Lebanon:

The CDE (Chambre de Développement Economique) of Monaco has already completed a trade mission to Poland at the end of October 2010, when eighteen Monegasque enterprises visited Warsaw.

The next trade mission will be to the Lebanon - with Prince Albert.
The Lebanese ambassador to France was invited to the Monte-Carlo Beach Hotel last Thursday where 120 Monegasque firms and institutions came together to learn more about Lebanon as an "emerging market".

PA will make a state visit to the Lebanon on January 13th and 14th, and the trade mission itself will last from January 11th to 14th.

CDE : après la Pologne, le Liban
 
More from ACCOBAMS:

1) This was the fifth triennial meeting of Accobams.
The number of contracting parties (= countries) rose from 21 to 23, through the accession of Montenegro and Egypt.

2) The Monegasque Government has leased offic space to ACCOBAMS free of charge for a duration of 99 years - thanks, PA !!
It also means that the organisation is independent and a legal entity.

Bet they had a housewarming party !!

Yesterday, the 2010 IAAF Athletes of the Year awards were handed out
in Monaco. Albert obviously had a lot of fun on stage as to that tall lady :)

Prince Albert congratulates 800 metres runner David Rudisha of Kenya and
world indoor high jump champion Blanka Vlasic of Croatia in Monte Carlo,
November 21, 2010. The two were honored as the 2010 IAAF Athletes
of the Year.

One can see at pics that Albert loves to be around athletes. He is enjoing himself at this event. :)
PA is obviously smitten by Blanka Vlasic. She is very tall but also attractive. I have never seen Albert so smitten by e.g. Charlene. JMO.
 
^I agree. With everything.
He looks like he is in family when he is around athletes. One can wonder why Charlene didn't go, as she is an anthlete too. Anybody knows who organize these events, in where we can see the Prince with his fiancée, or alone?
 
I


Index on the IAAF website shows Blanka Vlasic from Croatia.... the tall lady ???

iaaf.org - Athletes - Vla?ic Blanka Biography

:flowers: Yes, the tall girl..1.93 Metres, 6 ft 4 is her height.
She comes from very sportive and successful family, she's daughter of Josko, a decathlete, who still holds the Croatian record in that event. Blanka's mother was a alpine skier, and successful International Croatian Women's basketball player.

She was named after Casablanca where her father was competing around the time of her birth.

She's very popular athlete here, and wonderful person..For woman, she's always interesting and attractive with her fashion style..:flowers:

For those interested; Blanka's website
.
 
There must be plenty of beautiful women in Croatia, such as actress Nina Moric and the late Sylva Koscina, who could rival with P.ss Grace with beauty, class, elegance, intelligence combined.
 
Thanks, Ianna from Croatia !!

CW will have to look to her laurels, with so many tall and sexy female athletes around....

Albert's look often confuses me. He seems to loose his weight here or it is just perfectly tailored suit?:ermm: I guess we will see during Christmas swimming.;)
 
More about "Peace and Sport":

PA is the High Patron of this Monegasque charity. Its original title was "L'Organisation pour la Paix par le Sport", and it was started in 2007 by Joël Bouzou, Modern Pentathlon champion.

They seem to have an imaginative programme - reintegration of child soldiers and war orphans, turning waste grounds into playing fields, and more...
