No way I'd catch something, you haveseen where Miss Hilton has been?

I'm sure she only visits the very finest STD clinics.

Faced with this choice;

- a weekend in Dover
- a weekend in Paris

What would YOU do?

If you read the history of Dunkirk, if Germany had focussed some effort there they could have taken an awful large amount of the British Army out.

Thankfully they let the British escape and proceeded to Paris asap.

Especially as the British Army lost and ran away as soon as they saw the Germans coming. I suppose Dunkirk wasn't a surrender, but it wasn't much less embaressing.

And the French fought pretty bravely compared to say, The Danes who surrendered in an hour and a half.

they have been quite a succesful war mongering nation for the last 1000 years - it was only really in ww2 when the rolled over to the germans - and that was probably because they knew they had no chance of winning.

Though I suppose it's a bit much to hope they'll capture the English monarch and hold her captive for 10 years as we did to the French king.

they can pay her hospital bills, result!

are the powers that be so concerned about UKIP that they are preparing to take back the UK by force in the event of a landslide election result?

[VectraMan]

I've just finished watching that series on the 100 years war, so it's good to see the French are finally getting some revenge. Though I suppose it's a bit much to hope they'll capture the English monarch and hold her captive for 10 years as we did to the French king.

I like that they called it "Mission Jeanne d'Arc".

[darmstadt]

Not for the first time:

[mudskipper]

Well yeh, but they'll be made to turn tail and run easily enough. atW setting his squirrels on 'em should do it.

After all the recent military cuts, and with most of our forces in Afghanistan, we could all be wearing berets and speaking Franglais!

French 'invasion force' lands at Gosport

The 200 soldiers, 43 vehicles, four helicopters, two landing craft and a catamaran, ...
