Do you think I must make double language (English and French) posts in my blog?

Yes, of course, dumbass!

I don't think my wife likes me very much, when I had a heart attack she wrote for an ambulance.

Do you use wordpress?

Wordpress has a global translator plugin that translates your blog in to 48 different languages on the fly using four different translation engines (Google Translation Engine, Babel Fish, Promt, FreeTranslations)

Obi Wan has taken a strong lead...

On a serious note, I say write your blog whichever way you want.  If it's in French, then us English speakers can copy the text into a translator to get the gist of what you're saying.  The main thing is to have cool pictures of mini's!!   :)

Ditto. But I think it's always best to use your own language, it's the only one that allows you to write everything you want the way you want to.

Translation technology will help the rest of the world to understand you, if needed. But it cannot help if you are limited in the things you want to say because of a language barrier. Still, I suppose your English is a lot better than many people's French. Myself included!

I'll normally have a quick read through, so if it's in French I'll struggle, but it's no hardship for me to get it translated.  I could always open it in Explorer and use the 'Translate this page' function.

Google translate works fine for me, plus I like trying to work it out myself!  8)

Must?  You're not running a Canadian Government website, right?  I appreciate it if you do, but I should also man up and learn French; If I do I will practice on your blog.

In the interest of that objective, what does "Comptage Marius" signify?

Thanks!

MARIUS: Multiple APO Revolutionary Interregolistic Unit for Splashing Paint.

It is a unit of measurement to paint their figurines. A 10 mm soldier is one Marius for example. And a 28mm soldier is 3 Marius.

After six years of French at an English school I can just about manage "yes", "no", "please", thankyou" and "beer". How sad is that?  :'(

After almost four decades of buying groceries in Canada, I have become quite conversant with ingredient names and nutritional information; mostly because it's less effort than turning the package around.
