The French

[Nial]

Al4x are you sure its still ok to say the black word.

 

 

Is it not "person of colour"?

 

 

Despite the fact that everyone is some colour or another.

 

 

 

Nial.

Going back to the OP though, they were not far off with the measurements when the two halfs of the channel tunnel met, of course our lads were spot on

Ive got to agree that this thread has been a comic masterpiece.

 

Personally i think that the french have been one of our best enemies for last 1000 years and should be treated as such.

 

ajincourt, crecy, the peninsular wars & waterloo would have all not been possible without the french!

 

 

The ancestor of the President of the Village Cricket Club I played for for many years was a English Knight at the battle of Potiers. Sir Mills Hicks - Beech he captured three French standards at the battle even though he joined it late and was awarded three Fleur des Lys to wear on his heraldic coat of Arms. The family motto is Tout En Bon Heure which is very apt because it means all in good time. The family arms forms the badge of the Club to this day which is again very apt becuase not very many of us used to get to the matches on time.

There would be all sorts of technical problems with borrowing a French aircraft carrier, the main one being that the steering wheel would be on the wrong side.

 

In an ideal world the British would be the police, the Germans the engineers and the French the cooks.

 

Sadly, we are fast moving towards a world in which the Germans are the Police, the French the engineers and the British the cooks.

A french girl gave me a dose of the clap don't know if that counts

[2bangs]

Hang on, didn't the fro erm french and americans join forces against us a little while ago in the american war of independance ? No wonder they don't trust them.

Not only that, bit if our armoured regts have to use French Tanks then they'll need training on how to operate the 15 reverse and 1 forward gears.

Thought that gear ratio was more for the Italians than the French.....

[Raja Clavata]

Italians don't need reverse so much as flip - to change what side they on based on who's winning

i notice the distinct lack of p**s taking towards the Germans,

Having lived in Germany I can say that it is because it has become a country of hippies who will come to your door, ask you to join a focus group and then cry about the world today whilst apologising for the war.

[Tel Time]

they were just turning like that when i left, its like the brit gov apologizing for the slave trade 200 years ago, civilization, hah!!!!!

 

Why can't we just say what we like? its offensive?? so what! get over it, if someone smacked me one then i would have something to say, but a few "unkind " words? who gives a ****

[Tel Time]

and i think its a bad idea us sharing the boats with the french

[inthedark]

I recall reading somewhere that the average soap consumption among the French works out at 2 bars per person per annum.

Disagree if I may having been to France a few times I found nothing in their food to rant about, sitting outside on the pavement table cramped in whilst everyone smokes and buses stop and blow exhaust fumes all over you is hardly a romantic setting for a posh night out. They take too long to serve you and think that’s trendy then charge you 3 times what the food is worth. then if you take a night cap in one of the bars on the Champs-Elysees its a similar story £9 for a Vodka Tonic you can poke it in mesdames et messieurs garlic tainted curly snail entrance
