French Friday: now on Sunday

Around 30,000 French people have decided that their home country is just not wet or expensive enough. So they moved to Ireland, and now our French community is one of the largest non-national groups in the country.
After a hard day of teaching the passé composé, importing croissants and laughing at our rugby team, our French neighbours like to let their hair down and dance. But when they go to their local Irish disco, they’re expected to dance to traditional Irish music like Cascada and Kid Rock. “Alors, où sont-elles les bonnes tubes?” they say to themselves philosophically. “Que French Friday revienne!”
Well, we hear that Dublin’s regular French club night is starting up again after a few months out of action. French Friday returns on 31 August.
Yes, 31 August is a Sunday. But, with Sarko-esque disregard for Irish public opinion, they’re still calling it French Friday.

"single" in the 2006 census means not married, not divorced or not widower... but doesn't mean they are not in a relationship, or even several relationships... lol
