[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 637649, member: 57076"] ...if you say so... interesting to read. I like the enthusiasm though, always [B]gaston [/B]! :p This reminds me of the old philosophical adages...better to be a "satisfied pork" or an "unsatisfied Socrates", or more to the point at hand here: "better to be in Heaven with enemies or in Hell with friends" is one I thought of myself, see the genius, wow... anyways: the answer is option 2. For me at least. And back to the point in question: France does offer a certain sweetness of life, especially for pro athletes with money and privileges, and especially that area of the South in general...I mean not to brag or sound hostile at all, but Brits and people from all over the world but from the UK specifically just CROWD the Côte d'Azur area like crazy. I'm there every summer for months, and goddamn they're just everywhere. They even were mostly responsible for the iconic "Promenade des Anglais" corniche in Nice. So I'm saying if ppl who have nothing to do with Rugby would go out of their way and sacrifice lots to manage a property and the good life as retirement in Nice/Cannes/St Trop and company - these pro Rugby guys are BROUGHT, wanted and brought there and paid the highest salaries in the world atm - enjoy top competition - and get to discover the good life with panache, finesse and all that... They get to live in France and not have to put up with the daily life bullsht and the fkn annoying people all around the damn nation with their complicated personalities and their constant complaining, or immigration BS and subways etc...
