    Teh French don't figt against injustice, they riot if their pay/pensions/hours of work look like being adversely affected.

    The French like injustice - - they just want it to work in their favour

    Had a mint family holiday in southern France last September. Just outside Nice. Red wine, garlic and steak. Pow.

    Also I discovered nespresso coffee machines while I was there (although its not French) I am forever greatful and now have a raging bean habit.

    I admire the way a Frenchman could be half-sozzled from the night before, reeking of their stereotypical garlic BO, failing breathallizers because they haven't seen a toothbrush in months (they don't brush with them FYI, they make love with their mouths), wearing a wife-beater with year old gravy stains on the stomach, gut hanging out sideways like a welcome mat, and hairier than the lesser known spotted yeti, and just because they're "Yohan Cabaye" all our female board members go crazy...

    I've made up my mind, I'm changing my name!!!

    When I went to France we were lost driving around and saw a random old guy in a field, straw in mouth, old man hat, picnic, wine and 3 dogs running around. He was just chilling on his own like a mother ****ing boss in the middle of nowhere. It was the frenchest thing I've ever seen

    Mind if we are in for a relegation FIGHT, the French were a bit down the list when it comes to picking some back up. But cest la guerre (sic). Cest la vie. My English spelling isn't bad mind.
    I love the new NUFC beret the club have come out with. A quid each. Now we need a black and white hooped shirt. It would be magic with thousands wearing them for the Chelski game.

    We need to practice the shrug and hoh hoh hoh.
    The garlic hangs on your bike man. How daft are you?
    It's a bugger tho. I had a ticket for the Chelski match and have now been called away to work. (Middle East) so can't go. Will watch it there though. So get the Berets' and shirts. Don't let me down. Frog suits would probably offend. Vive la Nouveau Castille, Allez la Garcons'.

    1. The people are more polite and courteous.
    2. The people are more cultured.
    3. Olives and olive oil are so cheap.
    4. The wine is as cheap as anything.
    5. The language.
    6. Garlic. Love the stuff, although it won't win you any friends.
    7. Paris. A tough town but endlessly fascinating.
