Wittenberg / Re: New book by a Talossan!
Yesterday at 07:17:53 PM
Quote from: Ián Tamorán S.H. on Yesterday at 04:17:08 PMI have just published a novel - fiction, sort-of-science-fiction, surreal, abstract - and (I hope) rather funny.
If you want to look at it, it's available at (paperback): Unremembered Future   
ebook at: Unremembered Future (ebook)

Other works include:

A children's novel (paperback): Emerald Pie (ebook): Emerald Pie (ebook)
Teaching stories (for children) (paperback) The Carpenter's Carpet
Pantomime "Aladdin" (paperback) A Lad in Knaphill. and his Magic Lamp
Pantomime: "Cinderella" (paperback) Cinderella - and her Bearded Sisters
Poetry (Talossan and other) (paperback): Poesie

Enjoy!


For the dead tree version, which I prefer...
Do you receive a higher royalty if purchased from Lulu?  It is at a lower price on Amazon.

Cézembre / Re: I did a thing, please have a look

0000 (or 2300) would seem to be reasonable for CZ instead of 0230.

Quote from: Glüc da Dhi S.H. on March 02, 2024, 02:09:46 PMI know I said I wouldn't do anything as Senator, but I have decided to do a thing anyway, which is to propose an OrgLaw amendment which sets the deadline for election night at a time which is much more reasonable for Cézembre (midnight instead of 2:30 am)

Cézembreans are very much encouraged to have a look and provide feedback. I am interested to know if there is support for this change within our province.

You provide a quite reasonable adjustment for the GTA  How will it blend with your CAG A10
The it's about time act (confirmed by the Crown on 19 January 2021 but proposed well before that but not acted upon)?

Whereas it doesn't make much sense for Talossan Standard Time being used in Cézembre, and

Whereas in the neighbouring French Town of St. Malo Central European Time is being used, now

Therefore unless when otherwise mentioned the time used for official business in Cézembre will be UTC +1, which shall be referred to as CÉzembrean Time (CÉT), except in the period between the last sunday in March, 01:00 UTC and the last sunday in October, 01:00 UTC, when the time used for official business in Cézembre will be UTC +2, which shall be referred to as CÉzembrean Summer Time (CÉST).

Quote from: xpb on February 29, 2024, 03:20:04 PMTo celebrate this auspicious agreement, perhaps we need to have a toast with some appropriate beverage - one that is non-alcoholic, along with perhaps another one that is a potent potable.  Looking at https://www.brittanytourism.com/matching-what-i-want/food-drink/drinks/whisky-liqueurs-breton-spirits/ this could indicate apple juice for some and Lambig or Fine de Bretagne for others as representative of the Cézembre side - what about suggestions from Vuode?


Absinthe? Or perhaps a fine scotch?

maybe some spirit made close to the GTA? https://greatlakesdistillery.com

Cézembre map updates - new map link

I move to accept the homestead application of:
Barclamïu da Miéletz   
https://w3w.co/shady.health.hummed corresponding to https://w3w.co/imagerie.chocolatier.austère
and surrounding 3 meters as per CAG A13, An Act to secure Homesteads on the Isle of Cézembre

And a location within Zone Authorizee for: 
Consulate of Vuode   
https://w3w.co/beverages.rations.hesitant
corresponding to https://w3w.co/carrossier.rinçons.nuque
Which is located in a place immediately west of Óifisch Rexhital del Tourismeu and surrounding 3 meters

I have also found links for to the Consulate of Cézembre in Vuode at https://w3w.co/icons.player.panel corresponding to https://w3w.co/réémetteur.indivision.crémeuse
Of interest is a notation of the Martha Coles Community Room nearby at https://w3w.co/unit.brass.agree corresponding to https://w3w.co/dénommer.fondamentaux.jurer
https://uwm.edu/off-campus-resources/venue/marcia-coles-community-room/

I also note that there is listed a Héliport de Cézembre at https://w3w.co/sonore.timide.stimulons and I have added it provisionally as well

Perhaps outfits such as https://www.funbooker.com/en/listing/helicopter-flight-over-dinard-saint-malo-35/show utilize this location?

Për, as I suppose it would be odd for me to make any other vote

RAK / Re: DRAFT Cézembre Homestead Association (CHA)

https://w3w.co/shady.health.hummed
https://w3w.co/imagerie.chocolatier.aust%C3%A8re

Good choice - we will add that to the l'Etats agenda along with the request for the consular office of Vuode on Cézembre.

Things in l'Etats have been fairly loose in terms of adoption of new law.
The process might not need to rise to the level of https://wiki.talossa.com/Standing_Orders_of_the_General_Assembly_(Fiova), but with all citizens having the opportunity to participate in l'Etats there also would not have to be a subsequent referendum, just administration of the process by the Sénéchal (or designee) and certification by the Cunstaval.

Location option suggested

Quote from: þerxh Sant-Enogat on January 21, 2024, 10:48:19 AMSorry also for my abscence here for a few weeks. @xpb 's proposal is indeed much simpler and avoid the fun may-be but the burden for sure of an election.
I also suggest to vote on this one. As the constitution will be modified after this bill and the one for the election of the lord warden, I agree we should have a referendum on the new constitution, at the end of this Cosa ? So we have time to change other parts if needed.
I made a hash out of the last election, and I am sure you would do better.  Howeve, this would make things almost the same by involving those who are interested, and alleviating some administrative tasks.

It is excellent this legislation has been adopted!

To reprise my note from 2020

Now as Deputy Sénéchal de Cézembre, I request permission to enter into negotiations for a Cézembre Consulate in Vuode, which later would potentially be confirmed by l'Etats de Cézembre.  The best location for this office would appear to be at Bartolotta's Lake Park Bistro in Cononation Park, in the canton of Dun Cestour.  This location would support information sessions for Talossans interested in visiting our fair isle (such as for the Haxh), and to conduct such business as may be appropriate between our lands, and in turn the restaurant would provide fuel to sustain these activities.

Alas, the restaurant that was previously on Cézembre has closed, but our Sénéchal @ þerxh Sant-Enogat may be able to suggest an appropriate location in Zone Athorisee, perhaps near the Tourism office.
