NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS FROM MIP TV 2008

I have found in Cannes, getting “coffee to go” is not as easy as back home.  First tho, it’s Take Away, not To Go, and we already know about large vs. small.  So knowing all of this, I wander into the cafe across from our little Old Town apartment and ask for a small coffee – yes espresso, merci, take away.  A puzzled look as if the concept of walking and drinking seems, well, foreign.  She asks, Take Away?  Oui, merci (hoping abundant politeness will get me past my ridiculously poor accent).  Take away? she asks again, now appearing to be somewhat insulted. Oui, yes, please, take away.  It would seem – and I must agree – the French have many things figured out which us young pups in the US have not.  Sitting down and enjoying a cup of coffee is the only way to live. 

When I arrive next at the MIP TV Press Office for my meeting, I order a second espresso from the lady at the counter. Taking my little cup, I find a seat.  Sabrina, my 11am meeting, whom I’ve never met, arrives. I notice her name tag and as I begin to stand and say hello, I spill my espresso all over my khaki slacks, the upholstered chair and my bag.  The coffee lady at the counter smiles at my minor tragedy, and proffers me a single cocktail napkin to soak up the mess.  Can you spare a square?  Future Life Lesson – always travel with two pairs of khaki slacks.

Finally, I’ve learned many words and phrases from my new friends from other countries.  Commit these to memory, and try to use them in a sentence at least once today —

  • “Tickity-Boo” – it means every is fine.  A happy little phrase – rolls of the tongue.
  • “I tore a strip off him” — means you gave him a piece of your mind.  Use this phrase with attitude.

And one I have trouble working into a conversation: 

  • There’s nowt so queer as folk.”  Okay you may think that’s a typo but it’s not – nowt, means nothing.  The phrase means people are just plain odd.

CYNOPSIS DIGITAL – TODAY’S TOP STORY: In its latest effort to drive a harder bargain with Microsoft, Yahoo agreed to carry a selection of AdSense search ads from Google in a two-week trial limited to 3% of all search queries made through the Yahoo portal. Redmond called balderdash almost immediately, pointing out that a definitive agreement between the two companies would give Google over 90% of the search market. Therefore, a larger integration would never pass muster with regulators. Yahoo gets points for creativity here nonetheless.   Full edition: CYN DIGITAL.
