    New Olympic Sport Suggestion

    I found this at neveratossBlog...

    "I just rang up Lord Coe to be the first to congratulate him and to nominate a new, typically British, Olympic Sport – War! We're very good at it and the French are, quite frankly, merde! Germany are pretty good but lack a decent finish, the Italians don't quite get the 'half time no changing sides' rule and Argentinians are rubbish even when playing at home."

    ...but at least we don't eat bogies in crash helmets and amphibians ;)

    To be fair though - I've never tried snails or frogs' legs - they might taste great :)

    WHY DO the English hate the French so much - does anyone know the definitive answer???

    Dont they?

    I've met very few people who have a good word to say for them.

    Its hardly any wonder when all they do is slag us off. We save them from the Germans, twice, and thats how they repay us ;)

    Well, the ones I have met have been very nice.

    But I am sure the feeling is mutual, I don't mind them, but most English hate the french as a nation, and I suppose vice versa.

    We are both as bad as one another.

    I had snails once, they were in a vacuum sealed bag with garlic butter, took a bit of nerve to prick out :D and put in mouth, but was actually not too bad.

    I love the french. I'm married to one. I know lots of them. I speak a little of the language. I've spent quite a lot of time in france.

    most english people don't dislike the french, most french people don't dislike les anglais.

    As personal attacks are frowned on on this forum , even when provoked by such rank stupidity, i'm prevented in responding more directly to the two idiots above.
