Plus Ca Change (Plus C'est La Meme Chose)


Observation of the month: Elvis Costello's remark that you normally know you're getting older when police officers look younger than yourself. In his case, however, it was when Tory Chancellor George Osborne reminded him of Noddy ("and not in a good way"). His comments prefaced a blistering performance of Tramp The Dirt Down during his superb gig at the Empire a couple of weeks ago (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1emSMioJsg ).

We say: "Plus ça change, plus c'est pareil", although I think I heard "Plus c'est la même chose".

Merci, Guillaume. I'll make a note of that.
