Is Britain the bestest country in the world ever?

[Le Rosbif]

Oh yes I forgot that France was also royally rogered by the English at Waterloo. And earlier at Calais. And Agincourt.
And by the Germans also at Leipzig.
No wonder France walks funny.

Looks very similar to me.

Tu vas nous en chier une pendule!

Yes, but you should be paying quite a bit more. If your farmers and other industries knew what they were doing the rest of us would not have to keep bailing you out. You would pay a bigger share and we would pay less.
Due to French ineficiency and state aid to business France looks poorer than it is.

The American entry in WW I must have been interesting: French women's first chance to sleep with a soldier on the winning side without being called Fraulein.

Dunkirk was not an evacuation it was a strategic withdrawl!

Agreed in order to avoid a strategic obliteration

And finally the French got right royally fooked by the Vietnamese at Dien-bien-Phu. That must have been like a pencil up a wizard's sleeve.

Yeah well.
Comme on tommie boy, tell me why you are barking and drooling all over the place at French like a British bulldog?

Is it because we helped your colony (a few un-regular bastardos with muskets) to kick the crap out of the british redcoats, dragons, artillery and navy?

That would piss me off too

No they won that war.

If you are unsure please check with the Dept of French history at a Chinese university

They obviously didn't count the battle of Twickenham, 19 October 1991, when the legendary Mick the Munch broke the siege of the English lines by ramming Marc Cecillon 5 yards back off his feet and hitting him into the ground so hard there's still a dip in the grass known as 'Skinner's Hollow'.

Oddly enough I agree.
Dien bien phu a tactical nonsense and complete and utter cock up.
