How to visit Troyes TDF2005?!
January 28

I am struggling to find an itinerary for the day's events? Where does
the stage start? What time does it start? These sorts of things...
Anyone? letour.fr has nothing.
Merci bien.

Take train from Paris Est leaving 7:55 arriving 9:33. Leave station at
front and walk straight ahead into the old town. Look for a stage and
tents on the square, with lots of people and noise and possibly some
cyclists. If you're too early, buy a l'Equipe and drink a coffee. Now
how difficult was that?!
Also, from http://www.tourisme-troyes.com/
Un départ fictif est prévu, au coeur du centre-ville, rue de la
République. Puis, rue R. Poincaré, les coureurs rejoindront ensuite
l'avenue du 1er Mai, via le boulevard Barbusse (en sens interdit !).
Le départ réel sera donné juste à la sortie de Creney.

So you're saying you like to plan things in advance? Have you planned out
when, during the month of July, you're going to have sex?
The stage will start not far from the Mairie, at around 1:00pm. Try the
champagne. Avoid the andouillette.

My experience with the andouillette in the shadow of the Roman theatre
in Orange was quite pleasant. In spite of the snickering from my wife
and daughter after they punched 'andouillette' into the translator and
found out what it was. Maybe in Troyes they follow a different recipe:

Well, you certainly can't plan that until you know the route and start
times.
Or here in the States, the OLN broadcast schedule.

Not really on topic, but it at least relates to that link.
So last weekend I'm out for dinner with my parents and siblings, at a fairly
decent restaurant (a Loch Fyne, if anyone cares..).
My dad and I both go for mackerel pate with oatcakes as a starter; duly
there arrive a couple of plates each with a bit of salad, oatcakes, and a
rammikin of whitish paste with a bit of pepper grated on top; pretty much
what was expected.
So we start eating. And it tastes... interesting. Not exactly fishy. More
sort of quite sweet.
In fact, not fishy at all, and mackerel is a fairly strong tasting fish.
Takes about five minutes before I decide that this can't possibly be
mackerel pate, and risk humiliation by asking a waiter if this is what it's
meant to be. Waiter gives the standard condescending look as if to suggest
that I must be a complete Philistine to fail to appreciate their fine food,
but takes the plate away to check that it's OK. Two minutes later, hugely
embarrassed waiter returns - seems they put a dessert in the same sort of
rammikins that they put mackerel pate in, which they make up ahead of time
and have in the fridge. And some guy in the kitchen grabbed two of the wrong
rammikins in a hurry, put pepper on them, gave them to us.
Dad and I get the correct starters, which were definitely fishy and quite
nice.

Food criticsm from a resident of a country where they eat
butter sandwiches with cupcake sprinkles for breakfast.
Well, it didn't taste like shit.
I also got a picture of the frites at the McDonalds at
Schiphol, to prove to friends that you can indeed get them
served with mayo.

You might have to plan sex in advance if you are going to involve
several hundred people or more. Might have to check reservations as
well, unless you already have a very large room available. We could
turn this into a thread on how the Tour is and is not like sex.
Mostly, as far as I can tell, it isn't, but that might just be my sex
life.
And if you only have one shot at it in the month, you might want to
make sure that you make it. Planning, in that case, would be a good
thing.

It is true that if I had run 'andouillette' through
the translator prior to ordering I probably wouldn't
have ordered it.

Of all the food I ate in France about the only unpleasant thing was
andouille. (Not counting the garbage served as "American Food fresh from
America" in the Hard Rock Cafe)

My experience is not that andouillette cannot be good, it is that it has a
high coefficient of variation. Sort of like privatizing Social Security.
Robert Chung
In any of those cases, asking rbr for planning advice seems like it would
be a bad thing.

Say hello to Robert Millar from me if he is still living there, will you?
Bob Schwartz
And ask him his opinion of the andouillette.

Maybe not so open. I was thinking of his reported dislike for weeners,
to the point of cutting his own off.

There are multiple ways the could apply here, with one of them
being with respect to andouillette.

The chocolate part, I am in tune with. It is the butter

Four more years Robert. And then we'll elect another Republican. In the
meantime we'll get a super majority in the House and Senate. Then we'll be
able to put in Supreme Court Justices who will fulfill their responsibility
to the Constitution and not make laws outside of it.
Oh, yeah, and war WAS the answer.

What was the question? Hmmm. Must have been: "How can we spend $200
billion and 1500 American lives to kill an additional 100,000 Iraqis who
had no WMDs and create a worldwide Al Qaeda recruiting poster while
belittling traditional allies so that Shiites could end up ruling *both*
Iran and Iraq?"
