anyone mention Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys yet?
i think that was the phrase
picking on the french is a lot of fun and i'm no stranger to the effort, but few people know that the french are the ones who won most of their fights, ever
it's just that they lost a couple famous ones
(crecy, poitiers, agincourt, waterloo, trafalgar, vietnam, WW2, etc)
in between those, they won pretty much every fight they fought
unlike the english who lost most fights but won the few famous (and decisive) ones
I'm dutch and we learn all about our navy kicking the english one around on lots of occasions (De Ruyter sailing up the Chatham and all that) and then finally losing naval supremacy in the long run, which is no surprise for a tiny country and which is seen as logical rather than shameful
The English don't really learn about that, all they learn is that there were a bunch of fights with the Dutch and that the English won it in the end
interesting no?
anywho, anyone found any easter eggs yet?
