Citation

"De nos jours, la plupart des gens meurent d'une espèce de bon sens rampant et découvrent trop tard qu'il n'y a que les erreurs qu'on ne regrette jamais. Nowadays most people die of a sort of creeping common sense, & discover when it is too late that the only things one never regrets are one's mistakes."

Oscar Wilde. Translation

Idiomes

Avoir la casquette en béton To be wearing a concrete cap - (ie. to be hungover)
