Trendy in Luxembourg: construction projects in November

Lately we've noticed that a lot of renovation / construction projects in Luxembourg City are started in November.

This is contrary to the common knowledge that one should avoid to build outside while wet and cold.

The latest such negative examples that drew our attention were:

Abbaye de Neumunster

The Tribunal:

It should be of no surprise if next year we'll see the same buildings under renovation again, due to the poor quality of the work done now...

Danger ahead: Swiss voted against minarets

Last week-end an unfortunate and dangerous event has occurred: Swiss voted in a referendum to ban the construction of minarets on Muslim mosques.

Understandably, this has sparked protests within the Muslim communities all over the world, and also among the civilized and tolerant Christian population

The Muslim protests are just at the level of declarations now and have not reached their peak.

But storm is coming.

It is to be expected that similar measures will be taken in predominant Muslim countries against the Christian churches.

Also, we would strongly recommend to avoid any visits in Switzerland during the next months...

It appears that the white Christian population in Europe is getting more stupid and intolerant as generations pass.

As a consequence, populist extreme right wing parties are getting more supporters in countries like Austria, Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark

Professionalism is not essential for L'essentiel

Please take a look at this article from yesterday's L'essentiel and see if you smell something fishy about it:

Well, it is an advertisement to a gym, showed as an informative article.

Outrageous lack of professionalism from some guy called Denis Berche and the editorial team of L'essentiel.

It's a rare opportunity to see so many words of praise and positive adjectives in one article. We just roughly translated some of them:

- "L'Ellipse is a unique place"

- "it could have been a lounge bar, but it is a gym. Incredible"

- "admiring", "design catalogue", "truly different", "it looks like no other", "the visit impresses"

And, finally, the cherry on the cake:

"there is no doubt. L'Ellipse is the most beautiful fitness club from Europe"


You don't say, Denis boy: you've seen them all from all over Europe and you are certain.
Amazing, I did not know a newspaper can pay that well so you can travel all around this continent.

I could agree with this article under one condition: that our Denis wrote it on purpose to make it to the journalism books, in the section negative examples.

Well, if this was the purpose, you did it. You can go an relax now in this gym-lounge bar... Maybe you can get a free subscription as a reward.

Also, for the chief editor of L'essentiel, I would think one punishment is needed: take 200 push-ups while repeating: journalists are supposed to be objective, journalists are supposed to be objective ...
