The French plug their holes with bagettes, that's why they're so difficult to sink. Steed, watch your soap box, the French been known to use bagette torpedoes at Speakers Corner. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Yep better lay low for a while. :shifty:

My insurances does not cover hospital treatment for being hit on the head by a baguette. :lol:

You'd be a little trigger-happy as well if your ship was ladden with 16000 bottles of 1984 Chateauneuf du Pape as well as 500lbs of the finest Brie and Camembert...mmmm...Brie...

Corsair 02-12-07 04:53 PM

I'd rather go for the camembert (waiting at least a week in the open, not in the fridge !!) with a Pomerol or St Emilion...:D

Brag 02-12-07 05:56 PM

I like a cheese board that includes brie and camembert :smug: . Haven't had a pomerol in ages :cry:.

Welcome to the blasted French food thread. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

French stick and brie with a nice bottle of wine anyone?

High Voltage 02-12-07 08:33 PM

i would love to make a witty, biting comeback, but I'm too busy chowing down on "freedom Fries" whilst "freedom kissing" my mistress...

A plus tard les amis...

Mush Martin 02-12-07 11:08 PM

you know
 
Back when I was playing SC I had the notion for a TC
where France would be the primary enemy.

I thought everyone would love it.
at the time of freedom fries it would
have sold itself.

Now it's my turn - first patrol ever in GWX, IXC, Jan 1941, biscay, bf81, i make a midnight ship sighting. Large merchant, close with it. Perfectly still water, line up the perfect T2 keel shot. Bam- perfect hit, between the bow and the midship. Then I notice the flag....French. I noobed out on this one - i'm so used to using the external camera to check the flags, that now that I disabled it, I didnt' even bother. Man....harsh. Now I'm surfaced and I'm hoping that she doesn't sink...but such a good hit..her bow is getting low....looks like I'll be starting this career with a neutral French sinking!!

:damn::damn::damn:

Next time try high-tailing it out of there before she sinks, that way you won't get "credited" with the sinking.

Step 2, deny ever having been in the area.

Step 3, find a nice quiet place in the middle of the Atlantic, and scuttle your ship in shame...Noone will ever know what truly happened...

No more baguettes and brie for you! :nope: :nope:

Keelbuster 02-14-07 10:09 AM

So i took High Voltage's advice and bailed on the scene at flank. Luckily I made no contact report, and I she was a slow sinker. I made my escape without the penalty:) Guess she must have strayed into a minefield...

Umm, hit and run. I wonder what other new activities this nefarious bunch will come up with. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

High Voltage 02-14-07 11:18 AM

Damn you Seth.....Damn YOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!
