In British English, a tout is any person who solicits business or employment in a persistent and annoying manner (generally equivalent to a solicitor or barker in American English, or a spruiker in Australian English). According to the American Bar Association, touting occurs when a person advertises, promotes, or otherwise describes a security for sale without disclosing that the person is being paid to do so.
An example would be a person who frequents heavily touristed areas and presents himself as a tour guide (particularly towards those who do not speak the local language) but operates on behalf of local bars, restaurant, or hotels, being paid to direct tourists towards certain establishments.
In London, the term "taxi touts" refers to a kind of illegal taxicab operation which involves taxi drivers (or their operator) attracting potential passengers by illegal means—for instance, calling out travellers, or fetching them and their luggage, while parked in an area where taxi drivers must wait in their vehicle. They may charge exorbitant fees upon arrival, possibly using threats to ensure payment.

Stephen William Hawking, CH, CBE, FRS, FRSA (born 8 January 1942) is a British theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author. His key scientific works to date have included providing, with Roger Penrose, theorems regarding gravitational singularities in the framework of general relativity, and the theoretical prediction that black holes should emit radiation, which is today known as Hawking radiation (or sometimes as Bekenstein–Hawking radiation).
He is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, a lifetime member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, and in 2009 was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States. Hawking was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge between 1979 and 2009. Subsequently, he became research director at the university's Centre for Theoretical Cosmology.
Hawking has a motor neurone disease related to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a condition that has progressed over the years. He is now almost completely paralysed and communicates through a speech generating device. He has been married twice and has three children. Hawking has achieved success with works of popular science in which he discusses his own theories and cosmology in general; these include A Brief History of Time, which stayed on the British Sunday Times best-sellers list for a record-breaking 237 weeks.

Genres: Drama,Tout, tout
Tout est fini entre nous
J'ai plus la force du tout
d'y croire et d'espérer
Tout, tout
À présent, je te dis tout
De ce vide entre nous
De tes mains désabusées
Tout, Tout ce qui nous unit
Tout ce qui nous détruit au corps
Est à présent fini
Tout ces moments incompris
Ces instants indecit s'écrivent
Au passé aujourd'hui...c'est fini...
Nous, On était pas comme les autres,
On décidait d'être entre autres
Les plus forts, les plus fous
Nous on avait rien à prouver
Nous on avait rien à gâcher
Sauf notre liberté
Nous, on a rien vu passer
Rien vu se déchirer
Pas même la force de ces années
Nous , on a joué le tout pour le tout
On s'est dis on s'en fout
On a l'univers rien qu'à nous
On a tout
Sors, sors
De mon sang, de mon corps
Sors, toi qui me gardes encore
Au creux de tes regrets
Parles, parles
Dis-le moi sans trembler
Que t'en a plus rien à cirer
Parles, pleures et je comprendrai
Tu sais, Tu sais que je peux tout entendre
Partir rester ou même me rendre
Que le ciel là-haut m'entende
Tout, tout, tout est fini entre nous,
J'ai plus la force du tout d'y croire et d'espérer
Tout, tout, tout est fini entre nous,
mais je garde l'espoir fou qu'un jour on redira
Nous...
