Today, December 18, we celebrate the birthdays of many personalities! The singers Billie Eilish (23 years old), Christina Aguilera (44 years old) and Sia (49 years old), the singer Laurent Voulzy (76 years old), the Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards (go for a treat), the actor Brad Pitt ( 61 years old, admit you want to insult him eh?) and the director Steven Spielberg (78 years old).
“On Saint-Gatien, time is worthless,” says the saying of the day. Have a nice day everyone!
Today’s weather: not cool
After the strong gusts of the night, the weather situation for the day will not be much more encouraging. At best, it will be gray in the city of Ponant. But that will be between the showers which will be very numerous all day. Temperatures will not exceed 14°C. [La météo à Brest]
Real-time traffic: not easy
Slowdowns are reported at the entrances to Brest, first on the Iroise bridge near Plougastel-Daoulas. Then on certain arteries of the city which are very busy in the morning (rue de Quimper, boulevard Léon-Blum, pont de Recouvrance, rue La Motte-Picquet, etc.). Courage if you are behind the wheel.
The first why of the day: why are there no ticket sales for the general public for Brest-Real Madrid?
Gala match on January 29 at Roudourou: Stade Brestois will host Real Madrid for its last Champions League match. A game awaited by all football lovers and which has been emulated. The enthusiasm of the club’s subscribers was so strong that tickets were snapped up in just a few minutes. As a result, there will not even be any sale of tickets to the general public. And that leaves some frustrated…
The second why of the day: why did the Navy torpedo one of its ships?
The situation is surprising. On December 14, the French Navy torpedoed one of its own ships, the Premier-Maître L’Her, off the Bay of Biscay. In a video published by the authorities, we see the boat being split in two by a missile fired from a submarine. A spectacular exercise on an old building as a show of force.
The third why of the day: why the comic book on the Penguérec massacre is a hit
Released a few months ago, the comic strip “Memories of flesh and pain, The massacre of Penguérec, Gouesnou – August 7, 1944” has already sold more than 7,000 copies. A success which is welcomed by the City of Gouesnou, which published the work. And it’s not over, since comics will now have a new life in National Education.
