Vous payez beaucoup d'impôt ? Qui finance ? Cela vaut un feu d'artifice, qui durerait tout le mois de décembre)Cergiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14623905868861239570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674906358747778592.post-4921562264476976532008-12-17T08:39:00.000+00:002008-12-17T08:39:00.000+00:00Tough times, but we must perhaps try to keep our i...Tough times, but we must perhaps try to keep our illusions - and illuminations?
