Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Sounds like your mouth is actually your arse, Frenchy.

Are you washing the correct item here in that bidet of yours?

:-)

FrenchDisconnection - I take it you are not on a crusade to win friends and influence people here? Nothing wrong with France, i'ts the French that's the problem springs to mind, however were 'British' and wouldn't dream of being so offensive. I heard twenty years ago that French females had hairy armpits is this still true?

French ,,i live in the USA and although i dont agree with
all their policies they are no worse than the UK ,, at least
they now have Obama ,,think Blair think Sarkosi ,,anyway
i live in SW Florida in tropical heat so i couldnt give a monkeys...

enchante de faire votre connaissance . moi c'est J...........Offensive ? Surely not. What do you mean ? When ? Was'nt intended. As reg your question . l have never met one personally but laws of averages suggest there must be one or two ( they must be hiding from me ) .l am in London so must ask ..ls it true that the only reason english girls have periods is to give other girls a chance ...hehe..?........

Frenchy :o)

What are you doing in London?

.

This could get into a heated debateso I will give my view of the Frenchand leave you all to fight it out
Parisians asidewho even the French dont likethe people of France are friendlyinterestinggeneroushelpfulintelligentand a pleasure to be around their children are well behaved and polite French do not perceive they would receive a warm welcome if they visited the UKwhich is true! I spend a lot of time in Southern France where I have many French friendswe have spoken on this very subject frequently over the years and laughed many timesI regularly see the Brits filling up their trolleys with cheap wine and Lager in the Supermarche.usually wearing a union jack football/tee-shirtthey talk extra loud.. big fat bas*ards that never say please or thank youin any language.they think it extremely clever to take the pissthen go on to blame the French for being ignorantoh dear!if us Brits tried that little bit harder to successfully master French livingyou would find a welcome with open armsand a kiss both sides of the cheek in the SudI adore their family valueseven the Scruffy charm and aroma of a French Bar-Tabac has a wonderful
Atmospheretheir sophistication is apparent at all times.the problem iswe are the ones that need educating!!!!!

BTWI am not The French Connection.that is either Euro Tunnel or another posteronce again you are wrong about me Peterask him yourself?

I have just recd this from an accountant,headed,'' another sleazy imposition temporary levy on fuel duty''.

Stealth Tax VAT on petrol

Please pass this to as many people as you think might care! ... It is just one more example of a government that appears to operate by the devious working of the convenient before ethical principle.

You may recall that when VAT was temporarily reduced to 15%, the Chancellor temporarily added a 2% duty levy to fuel to offset the reduction in tax collected on fuel sales to motorists.

Now that VAT has been returned to 17.5% this [so-called] temporary levy on fuel duty has not been removed - Surely another stealth tax, hence the recent rise in the cost of fuel at the pumps. .

Please sign the petition at the link below requesting that this stealth tax be removed without delay!

http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/DutyReduction/

Please pass this message on to your friends - the more signatures the better. Incidentally, let us look enviously across the Atlantic where the cost of fuel for motoring has recently been reduced across the United States. This must seem strange when recalling that Gordie B said that the U.K. was "better placed to stand the world economic downturn than any other G20 country". A pledge that, like dry ice, vanished with a whiff of gas and no other trace.

You may wish to make a note for your diary: There will be a televised broadcast of a formal fly past of flying pigs over Whitehall immediately following Alistair Darling's Budget Day fairytales, timed to draw attention away from his tales of the improbable, the impossible and the down-right untrue.

Happy motoring!

Tabby, I'll take your word for it, can't say fairer than that :-)

Can't see a problem re the temporary fuel tax staying. How else are the fiddling gits going to fund their pensions and expenses?

Tabby - I wasn't being serious, bit of banter that's all, to be honest quoting Frenchy being a wee bit blunt with his arse washing phobia for me anyway to much information. Frenchy - When was the bidet invented? Was it available to the French troops in the trenches in World War 1 and 2, if so probaly explains a lot :o)) Please take that last remark with the above in mind :o)

Chrisit would not have mattered either wayI am the worlds worst myself with tongue in cheek wind up humourand usually laugh my way through life I just get a bit pi**ed with the constant British tauntsat French peopleif we would try just a littlemany of us would be pleasantly surprised by their responsethey are truly fantastic peopleBTWI have never ever used my bidetits a Womans thingI find the shower is more than adequate to reach the parts quintessentially necessary to maintain correct hygieneit takes five minutesI have to say my wife is a cleaning fanaticbut we only change our bedding once a week until ExecLine came along.now its twice.

Tabby - Touche, must admit that bed bug scenario freaked me out to, ditto we change our bed linen once a week, seriously under review now though :o)

We used to change our bed sheets at least twice a year, until we started watching CSI, where at every scene they find enough body fluids to supply a horror film.
Since then we change said bedding after every night of passionate sex.
And before you mucky lot get hold of this, yes it is now more often, at least 3 times a year.

Now waiting for the string of jokes.

Greek - Trust me Toooo much information:o)))

l concur with Tobasco ; the French are the very best at everything : o))) oh -indeedy . Yes . Definately. ,,l had a reallly good laugh at all your witty bidet and bottom hygiene joking with accompanying cartoons. !!! Fab . . .. Didnt laugh very much after reading article reg bed linen ect ect i must admit to being slightly alarmed. Everyone who had the misfortune of my company today must think i am dangerously obcessed about bedbugs, dust mites,bukets of dead skin and heavy pillows . The power of the mind is so terrifying; so much so i dare not go to bed last night lest i be molested by legions of these so cleverly disguised creatures they are invisible to humans.. Not fair really.....C.C, et al - of course i take your banter in good humour . lf you cant laugh at y/self you would be someone to avoid. Laughter is the best tonic known. Not at funerals or when police officers stop you for speeding,,you understand , but generally speaking. ......Talking of WW 1+ 2.l think we never recovored from the carnage 1914-18 war.What with most of the bloodletting/ lust and sheer slaughter occuring on French soil and what with so many MILLIONS dying, we lost the stomach for war -perhaps fotrrever..By the time of the 2nd world war France diplomatically cut a deal with old uncle addy... l think the biggest battle in the ensuing 1939-45 war in France was not with the Germans but between between de la rocques rabid private 500,000 strong army --Croix de feu --and Jean Renauds- Solidarite' ,,,,,,,,How we avoided a civil war l find hard to believe,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Got a bit serious there sorry everyone..... A quick trivia Q before my meds hit home hehe. Name the only ENGLISH manager to guide his side to the prem title ? ( Took me days to work it out ,,:-))

Was it the Blackburn manager ?...can't remember now...

Fraid not RF ----a weeie clue 4 u all - Blackburn is not far away from said side. Strange tho that only ONE eng.manager has won p/ship.

I'm not sure that an English manager has won the Premiership title since it's inauguration?
