A small off topic:
Let me try to clear my memory without having to scramble the internet. Just vigorously scraping my decrepit brain. Georges (?) Simenon would be a Belgian writer, but his main character was a FRENCH police and detective named ........? (Forgotten), always around the Quai D'Orsay in Paris? It is possible that sleep, in which I am on the verge of diving, brings to me, during this period, the name of the detective ...
M. Hercule Poirot was a fictional character, a Belgian detective, but created and directed by Agatha Christie (an incredible English lady), right? ("Assassinato no Expresso Oriente" - "Murder on the Orient Express" (?) Among (many) others?).
There was a time when I had a great fascination for both ... the four (lol).
I accept corrections, insults and mockery, my intention is to get it right, but also to have fun with mistakes, absurdities that I can make, acid and intolerant remarks from mistakes and errors correctors, since the acidity has its unbeatable mood.

@JoaBravo Georges Simenon was a Belgian writer, his main character was a French police superintendent Commissaire Maigret.
Yes, Agatha Christie, a British writer, wrote Poirot stories. Poirot is a Belgian retired policeman.As a sidenote, Quai d'Orsay is French Foreign Affairs Ministry (French Palacio Itamaraty). I guess you mean Quai des Orfèvres, Paris police headquarters.

Thank you, very, very much. For whom used only very old and tired memory, my performance was not bad at all, right?
Now I remember that the correct reference to Maigret is commissary, and in the excellent Portuguese versions where I've read many and many Maigret's stories, the term was "comissário". I'm not very ortodox neither "connoisseur" about these nomenclatures.
Special congratulations for "Palácio Itamaraty". Superbe!

There was nothing different! "Sommeil" constantly solves a lot for me.
Now, I created a mnemonic form, when I'm awake: put on Google translate Portuguese >>> French - write, in the first, "magro gordo" and add a "t" to the first word in French.
Note - If I write only "magro", Google hampers to me, only giving me "mince" . Things of translators. -
@JoaBravo Your knowledge of French culture is quite fascinating
.
Special congratulations for "Palácio Itamaraty". Superbe!
Obrigado. I've been to Brasilia (I've been to Brasil indeed, years ago). I really like this building and the Ministry of Justice building. The Cathedral is also amazing. I do like modern architecture, so I'm happy on Eixo Monumental. Niemeyer & Costa are great artists.

Oh, oh, oh, don't know what to respond and still less how to thank you.

@JoaBravo You don't have to. I really enjoyed Brasil and the very friendly Brazilian people.

@JoaBravo Former Miss Israel and Israeli actress Gal Gadot, as Wonder Woman. Perhaps the user is a Super Hero movie fan, or even a gamer. But we will find out in due course what they are up to.

@JoaBravo Pointless to speculate.

According. Just kidding, although unfounded.

Hey, my dear, are you ready and anxious for reverting the government system again?-

@JoaBravo , so far he has not posted anything, so it coincides somewhat less aggressive, for being perhaps

Thank you, for keeping the friendship, the camaraderie. In this topic/flap, the focus is the image, the avatar. I have not to wait publications, posts.

My relative is not much like me.Thinking and observing more precisely, the relationship exists. Both the splinters and everything that makes up the image can be symbolic, virtual.
Practically, my head is almost always full of splinters as in the picture, which makes me reconsider the relationship.
