Marc Veyrat stops his career as star chef

One of the lessons in life is "take now, don't save for later". I am only glad we enjoyed a lunch and a diner at his restaurant last summer.

Headroom, Max

When the first French Pay TV arrived in France, it was a revolution! in 1984 Canal + came with a new definition of television.

One of their programs came directly from the US and it was, at that time, a state of the art computer generated entertainment show entitled "Max Headroom".

I liked this character and as many other teenagers, dreamed of having Max in my own computer. As an icon from the 80's, Max Headroom had to have a post in this blog.
By the way, the picture comes from a very interisting book with great names : Jean-Francois Bizot (founder of Radio Nova, and Nova magazines among many other things, died in 2007/09/8) and Jean Rouzaud (musicologist with extended knowledge, still on the air on Radio Nova). It is one of the few valuable books about the 80's.
