Congratulations to our French Film Festival ticket winner
Barry Friend will be off to see a movie in French Film Festival in Hamilton, with the tickets he's won.
Barry's favourite phrase was 'comme ci, comme ça' (so-so). We had plenty of good suggestions, including 'quand les poules auront des dents' (literally 'When chickens have teeth', in English 'When pigs fly"), 'n'importe quoi' (whatever) and 'je ne sais quoi' (literally 'I don't know what', but means an appealing quality that cannot be adequately described or expressed).
Thanks all for your entries, and congratulations Barry.

Poll: Do you think an age check is required for these drinks?
Stores are checking IDs for fancy soft drinks and not everyone is happy about it.
One shopper, who asked not to be named, bought some zero alcohol branded drinks at his local supermarket and was asked to “step around into the thoroughfare so a supervisor could see me and make sure I was over 18. I couldn't believe it."
Do you think an age check is required for these drinks? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
