It's Nice Here .....

TACAN a exposé le 05/01/2007 :
It's nice being here ... no silly frenchman threatening to dry up Australia,
no silly 911 flag wavers threatening to set fire to everything. (referring to
some strange people in aus.aviation et al)

Only beautiful aeroplanes, blue skies, fresh air, clouds, smell of av-gas,
radial engines, turbine engines and hanger queens.

Can I stay a while ??? .......




----------------------------------

Yes, here are some silly frenchmen! I'm one of them... Sorry if my
presence bothers you, but it will be necessary to accustom your brain
(if you have one, not sure...) to it and to remain polite!

Aaaah Chris, you've taken Graham's comment out of context and have been
unnecessarily offended.



The 'silly frenchman' refers to , who hangs
around aus.politics and aus.aviation. It wasn't a generalisation
against Frenchmen, silly or otherwise.

Ah ok. I didn't know this Turcaud... and it is well like that. In
France, exactly like everywere in the world, we have *******s, and it
seems this guy is one.

But Dave admitt Graham's message was a few agressive for people who
doesn't know the context. Every Froggies are not on aus.politics and
aus.aviation you know? ;-)

Of course, unfortunately the French have been painted with a fairly broad
brush here. That shouldn't be the case - but unfortunately - it is.


Graham's comment was a little too cryptic, for non members of the two aus.
groups and you couldn't possibly be expected to follow _all_ usenet threads.

When i read my original post - yes it was a bit cryptic - please accept my
apologies - and can understand how some offence could be taken from that.

Thanks for your understanding

Ok, I just come back from aus.aviation, and easely found some messages
of that guy. I seach on google and yes this guy was French before he
migrates in your nice country in 1967.

Here is a part of an review found on the web:

"Jean-Paul Turcaud is Frenchman who migrated to Australia in 1967 with
high hopes of a good life. After learning English and obtaining a
pilot's licence, he went on to do some mineral exploration in Western
Australia's Great Sandy Desert (GSD). He made some good finds including
Telfer, which has now become the largest goldmine in Australia
(southern hemisphere?). Unfortunately, he was cut out any share of the
action, a fact which has led him to become greatly disillusioned with
Australia, "the land of opportunity".

JP now refers to Australia as the Land of the *******s (LOB) and
maintains it has a nationally instituted moral code throwing back to
convict days and continuing in all Australian Parliaments, ie,

1) Grab and run
2) Never dub a mate
3) When convinced deny.


Its obvious why JP would be annoyed, but what remains curious is why he
would fight for so long without any apparent leg to stand on (legally
speaking). No doubt it all boils down to whether a person is prepared
to accept injustice or fight against it. JPT decided to fight against
it and it has been a long, and often futile battle.

But what really tripped me out is how far he has actually got with his
crusade. Firstly, he has a permanent record in the Western Australian
Parliament of a request for a royal commission by Senator /
Attorney-General Tom Evans who saw irregularities concerning the Telfer
ownership.

Secondly, Bob Sheppard, President of the AMLA (Aust Miners Leaseholders
Assoc) and author, has researched the matter and written a book
detailing his findings. And he thinks JPT has a case.

Finally, there is a record of an interview on ABC radio (Bronwyn Adcock
interview) where details of the affair are laid out and different
people interviewed.

JPT continues to push his views on the internet about this and other
matters."

I also found some messages he sent in French language, and he seems to
have a true mental problem: he seems that he knows everything, about
everything and even about the rest, and considers people who are not in
agreement with his ideas as ****. It is only an idiot more, as there
are tons of it everywhere, and regrettably even more on internet.

Sorry my my poor English, that's hard to explaim some ideas when you
try to do it in another language than yours...

Tight, but I will go to aus.aviation to try to know more about the
"French" guy you talk about.
