French humour

PRECISELY!

'cheese eating surrender monkeys'.... I like that. I'll be using that in french bashing situations in the future thank you!

So when WAS the last time the frogs actually won a battle without nearly loosing it and relying on some poor sucker to bail them out?

That would be the last world cup and Euro2003.

My daughter will not let me say anything bad about the French. She finished her schooling in France and is doing one of her degrees in French. Worked with a couple on occasions. All bastards. Still have not forgiven them for all the nuclear shit etc. We catch a couple of them, bang them up, Frenchies promise to keep them on The Atoll. She gets banged up. Go back home as heroes and given a medal. Own a Peugot, eat french fries, like Dumas, still, trying to forgive, but then I got a little French in me via the Revolution, probley where the bastard in me comes from.

I think they helped some poor suckers beat the English in America around 1776.

Just ahead of Italy, indeed!
Va fan culo.

There's no need to descend to profanity...

O.K. I'll admit it's a very close call, and I may end up retiring to the Cinque Terre instead of the Gard.

It's just that my French is so much better than my Italian...

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha.....do you know I stopped drinking shortly after I arrived in NZ...used to think it was just that the wine didn't travel well to the UK....now I know....I can pop into the hypermarket in France and buy $2 plonk that's better than most of the NZ stuff.....

France is a wonderful country...just a shame about the french people....bugger I've got french lineage on both sides of my family....

Yes but thank God the Brits are actually doing something about that. They're pouring into Normandy, Brittany, the Dordogne etc., buying up houses and farmlets and opening up fish and chip shops, Tandoori takeaways and Ye Olde Country Pubbes to bring civilization at last to those benighted regions. And with the low French birth rate it won't be long before those peasants with their quaint costumes, silly customs and ridiculous language are relegated to minority status and can be safely ignored.

That's right and look how Bush treated them after they refused to become part of the Coalition. If my memory serves me correctly the French paid for the Statue of Liberty. Merci beaucoup.

Why is it that whenever the French are mentioned, people start talking about wars and battles and defeats, as if fighting was somehow more important than food, or wine, or sex, or art, or literature or...?

or.... french fries. What could be more important than that?

I dont yet know how to quote correctly

Oh no, don't let them become a minority!!! if they become a minority I'd get arrested for making fun of them......but then I suppose I could get loads of friends and block all the roads with tractors and trucks till the french government relented...anyway the English owned 3/4s of France till some pisshead King gave it all away...so we're just taking it back...a bit at a time....a bit like the germans taking control of Europe.

Can we all at least agree that we all hate the Germans?

Bloody sausage-eating squareheads.

What good motorbike did the French ever make anyway?

What good motorbike did the French ever make anyway?

Moto Martins of the late 70`s were brilliant,there`s a firm called MOKO knock out some tasty cafe racers and a French firm built a Lambourghini bike in conjunction with the car firm a few years back.Then there`s the Elf racers,read somewhere that the Jap firms pay them royalties for using a couple of their patented ideas.
French P.O.W`s very kindly helped build Devonport Dockyard ,Dartmoor Prison and Bodmin Jail in Cornwall.U.S. P.O.W`s from the war Lou mentioned built a chapel near the prison at the same time.And yes BJ`s were around way before the French "invented" them but until then they involved members of both sexes.The EU came about to end conflict between European countries and encourage Collaboration,something the French pioneered in the last war.We get a lot of French students here,the blokes look like girls and the girls look like blokes,very confusing,they`re loud,rude and get hit a lot.Brits aren`t anti-French,we just dont like them much..........at all.
