and how exactly was my comment not humourous and light. If you want to get into a heavy duty discussion of English-French relations for the past 500 years, I doubt we will still be friends afterwards.

You're right. Making a cheap shot in a fun thread and then heroically running out the door is a much better idea.

What was that joke about French surrender again? :hmmm:

and how exactly was my comment not light and humourous. Why is it perfectly acceptable to make fun of the french, but not of the british?

And how exactly is that a cheap shot, you have no idea what the hell you are talking about.

I'll hazard a guess your of French origin then...and for your info I'm not in the habit of falling out with anyone over the contents of posts on this forum.

I asked you a simple question in a civil way and thus far your unwilling to furnish me with said information...no big deal actually.

C'est la vie

I love it when two different nationalities duke it out with jokes :D
Especially when you know a bit of history.
Too bad some take it seriusly :nope:

Remember at Waterloo, when the French tried to surrender by yelling ''merde'' :O:

Pardon my French but.......................

You yourself said it was in your follow-up retort.


Get a clue. Now stop crapping up the thread.

I am Canadian, french-canadian.

Now you've done it, you invited the Yanks to the fray :haha:

Imagined slights against [insert something] as justification for acting silly seem to be in fashion lately.

Ah, right....that puts a better understanding to your stance.

Not Quebec by any chance?

How dare you say that about the Belgians, they make better chocolate than Finland ever did.

Considering I'm from the Balkans, I'm surprised they don't use that for acting silly on my account. Enough material to keep them missbehaving until my retirement in 2088 :O:

Pffft. Foreigner......

mais oui...:ping:

although I have french, english, irish, portuguese, native american and jewish ancestors. My family has been here for a long time.

There you go! :up:

I've once heard a psychologist saying that it was no surprise that couple relations were so difficult because: differences between men and women were a lot more harsh than differences between two same sex person from different nations :hmmm:

There was an interesting battle there once...1759, a battle of some significance :hmm2:

Just yanking yer chain :03:

You were never made of chocolate so you can't know anything about chocolate and are therefore forbidden from participating in this discussion.


Well, that's your country. Forgetting for a while that I can't find a country called "Balkans" on the map, my country is still much better at it.


That's it, I'm putting you on my ignore list for that. Wait, I can't! How come? :stare:

Touché! :ping:
