k&k episode 46 - the one where they talk about bling and beer... and stuff...
In episode 46, Kim and Kyliemac discuss their excellent adventures at the Hard Rock Café and on the Champs-Elysées.
They also gleefully freak Katia out by recounting their visit to the famous musée Grévin.
This episode was brought to you by the word "la bière" (beer).

The Lyon/Lion thing is funny, because whenever Fab says "Lyon" (as in the city) in English, he says "Lion". I keep telling him that we say "Lyon" too, but for some reason, he just can't "print" it (to quote him again).
Mlle Smith - oooh that's all terribly interesting! And thanks for the link - I think, however, that the "bank holiday" they refer to on that website is public or "bank" holidays celebrated by overseas branches worldwide of that particular bank - and this is how employees of the bank know when they are etc. If I read it correctly. hehe.I think that the vast majority of Australians say "public holiday", and for me, "bank holiday" is a generally British term.Lyon, lion - it still cracks me up.
Oh and the NYSE info is SO interesting - who knew such a thing would happen?
Bank holidays are holidays that are specific to banks, or rather the stock exchange. The NYSE doesn't recongize all public holidays...so while most people do not work on a public holiday, if the particular public holiday is not recognized by the NYSE and you happen to work at a bank...then you must work...even though it's a public holiday because it's not a bank holiday. The UK also uses the term "bank holiday" to make a distinction between its public holidays and those holidays recognized by their stock exchange. Australia uses the term "bank holiday" too, but I don't know what it refers to in Australia...I only know about the US/UK. :0l http://www.rba.gov.au/EventsDiary/bank_holidays_2007.html
