It’s Micro Monday again. While the podcast is on hiatus, I’ve been doing a series of roll calls to help enthusiasts find each other. This week’s topic is trains. Railfans, station lovers, and ferroequinologists, signal your enthusiasm with a comment here.
@jean Sorry, it was a bit obscure. There’s an expression, “un ‘tiens’ vaut mieux que deux ‘tu l’auras’”: one “here, take this” is worth more than two promises that you’ll have it in the future. Martial Solal, who wrote that tune, liked puns and wordplay and substituted “train” for “tiens”. I suppose puns don’t translate well, though.
