Subject: RE: BS: Latest News from Twillingsgate
I am forwarding and translated for you English this article from today's "Gazette de Rouen" which might be of your interest.

"An accident happened today outside the house of local woman and her friend, Malcolm Buggeroll of Twillingsgate, England.

M. Buggeroll and the woman, one Angelique, were abed in the front room of the house when a truck carrying chemical barrels overturned. The barrels broke open and the house and its contents was flooded with chemical malodoroux (bad smelling? I do not know the word you use.) The local fire brigade said that the chemicals do not pose a hazard, but that the area will not be livable for some time.

M. Buggeroll and the woman were taken to hospital, where they are being given treatments (douce is some bathing, no?) for their chemical splashes. Many of M. Buggeroll's papers were wetted with the chemicals, they will be readable when dry but will unhappily (stink?).

The police said that the accident could not be prevented and no arrests were made.

The chemicals in the unfortunate accident were skatol, indol, and certain sulphur compounds.

M. Buggeroll has been in police custody recently for exposing his private parts in public."
