Oh I have no idea about their political system
I only know that I have a lovely time there.
I think if I was going to move to another country it would most likely be Canada or Holland- I'm not basing this on their politics, but purely on the people and where I would feel comfortable.

My French isn't as good as it used to be
plus I have found the vast majority of French people that I've met to be incredibly rude. Whereas I can just about deal with it occasionally, to live within it constantly would be a chore with only one inevitable consequence- I would at some point get very angry, have a right go at everyone and then they'd be French AND in a mood.

they'll just shrug then surrender
then sit outside of a cafe, smoking a cigar, reading provocative literature, tutting to themselves into the hours of darkness, as the rain begins to fall.
While a poor bandoneon player emits a lament of hate, in the distance.
Next week, I'll talk about Germany, be prepared for huge pots containing brown fluid and sausage and large chaps in incomprehensible trousers

I was thinking more of moving to Germany myself, for no other reason that I speak German and would probably find German people less annoying.
I don't quote unquote think there is anything happening to this country, civilisation is in constant flux and change and anyone who thinks that there is some set value of Englishness is just kidding themselves. Change makes fools of us all.

GIMP does animations
Christ. The formatting died. Have an edit.
OK. Compose your frame in an image. Go to Edit-Copy Visible, Paste as New. In the new picture that pops up go to Layer-New Layer.
Compose next frame, copy visible, then paste into the new picture as a new layer.
Rinse and repeat for all frames, save XCF file. (You can preview the animation with Filter-Animation.)
Then go to Mode-Indexed and set up your colours. If you don't do this yourself GIMP shafts them. Then Filter-Optimise for GIF, then in the new window which pops up go to FilterAnimation to view it. Then save as GIF, make sure to check "Save as animation". You can fiddle with the timings between frames afterwards -- that's in the Dialogs-Layers option. It's a pain to do it that way but I don't know a better way.

Yeah it wasn't very clear, sorry
sorrybut hope it's of some help. I found GIMP took a while to get used to animating with but when you do get used to it it's not too bad.
this isn't the smoothest or best animation i've done but it's not too bad. it does show a few defects because i didn't set up the colours properly or clean up my frames enough though....

(but take a look in the sky on the right -- there's the imprint of the blade from the first frame on every subsequent frame.) Also I got lazy and didn't put in enough frames to smooth it out, so he looks like he's belting round. But that's more my fault than the software's.
