May 2004: ENTENTE TRÈS CORDIALE… « Cordiale entente » indeed… "When I met Laurent Elriani about 4 years ago, I thought he was gorgeous. We have been going out for 2 years now, and the wedding is planned for June." The red haired English number 2, Linda Charman, is smiling at me. She is obviously a happy lady. And it shows. "Obviously, when we are in a team event like this one, we both have a tendency to stick to our team, but we still support each other. If France is playing England, I want England to win, but Laurent to win his game. "I love watching him play, I love his game, he is an attacker. I think he deserves to be much higher in the ranking, but he just doesn’t have enough money to go far away, he can only stick to the European events, where the level is much higher than anywhere else in the world." I asked the lady what she loved the most about the French way of life: “I like the fact they are expressive, that they get excited about things, that they enjoy their food, their meals. In England, we don’t enjoy our meals that way”. And what about what she doesn’t like about us? "That the French get too excited. But on the other hand, I don’t like conservatism. I’m sure that somewhere in between lies the truth." To finish, I just asked her to describe her future husband: "Sweet, funny, kind, sensitive, loving, gorgeous… and sexy." I love the English who love French people who love the English! |
