Liverpool Foccer 'salute'
« on: 21 August 2014, 09:00:20 am »
..to the man who gave me a foccer salute as I headed in to Liverpool yesterday late afternoon on my way to the Isle of Man - I did try and return it but I nearly ran in to the car in front of me.

Just didn't want you to think I was being rude..  :D

Someone sent me a postcard picture of the earth. On the back it said, "Wish you were here."

You can't blame a whole country for the actions of probably one or two twats :lol

Having lived in France for 7 years I can, only thing France has going for it is it is a beautiful country.
Old joke.

God created France , making it the most beautiful country in the world.
The rest of the world became jealous.
So God then created the French.

You are correct cannot blame the acts of a few individuals same thing can happen anywhere.

But a mate of mine recently returned to his British registered car, parked in a car park to find two of his tyres slashed. That was in Rouen. In his row his was the only Brit car and the only one touched.
My SX was on Brit plates at the time and was parked in the street outside my son's flat. There were other bikes parked beside it, not touched.
The french just do not like us Brits.
Sorry but it is a fact

We were parked at traffic lights in Paris last summer, in our car (Liz was driving) and when she looked in the mirror she spotted a French pedestrian who had gotten dis dick out and was p*ssing on the back of our car.


Instantly, she put the car in reverse and nudged him over (also causing home to splash all over his trousers).


Furious, he ran around to give me a mouthful of abuse, but just saw me laughing my head off - he'd not realised the driver was on the other side of the car

It's not just us. When I was growing up I had a Belgian friend who's father told me they (Belgians) had a well known adage that "France is too good for the French".

The Dutch only invented Belgium to keep the smell of the French at bay...
