OK This may not be new but I just got this recommended to me on YT and my question is:

Do the Greek folks who hired KKL to advertise their perfume know that the name they gave to it - "Clochard" - mean "Streetbum" in French?

Any actors on bold over the years you all will label “chemistry magnets”

"Clochard" was an internationally sold perfume brand, probably first sold in the 1980s and discontinued in the 1990s

 It was apparently quite expensive.
There is also a Swiss jeans brand named "Clochard" and a Belgian men's grooming brand "Clochard Deluxe".

I don't think the word has a pure negative connotation – nowadays, it has more of a romanticized and mystical meaning.

Not in French, it doesn't. It is a very condescending word for homeless people. 
So weird.

 

[Huntress]

Well, I know that the motive of the "clochard" was used in a romanticized meaning in a few old French films and novels.

This is a description I found (translated from German to English):

YEP, clochard is a negative word for the homeless. Btw I hope nothing happened to our friend uploading 1992 episodes.

[Videnbas]

That's wonderful to hear! Have a great New Year! 

[Soapie34]

Glad all is well big hugs

[EyeOnFashion]

Can I commend you on the quality of the uploads - full HD rip. Thank you, keep them coming.

Happy new year to you!

[Pedro]

That is good to hear, have a merry happy New Year's Eve and happy New Year

I think the quality is already brilliant however the videos work only on my smartphone and laptop, on PC they don't work but I'm assuming this is due to lack of some codec.

I'm curious why this soap resists having a long term 2nd family to balance out the played out Forrester's?  A have not family, that is.

[Pedro]

Those were Logans at the Beginning but since such Gold diggers as Brooke and Katie got their ways up there was no need for having such a have not family anymore. I regret losing young Spectra gang, though but I'm guessing that was just a gift for the fans for the 30 th anniversary and after that they became redundant.
