I am proud to be French today. Not because we're obviously giong to win the Euro 2004. Not because the left won this week end.
Because after Denis, I'm the second Frenchman to enter the 4 kitties Walhalla. Rémig, Frog in the Sand, Jediroller and others, let's sing together :
Allons enfants de la Patrie
Le jour de gloire est arrivé
Contre nous de la tyrannie
L'étendard sanglant est levé
L'étendard sanglant est levé
Entendez vous dans les campagnes mugir ces féroces soldats
Ils viennent jusque dans vos bras, égorger vos fils, vos compagnes
Aux armes citoyens!
Formez vos bataillons!
Marchons, marchons, qu'un sang impur abreuve nos sillons
Have some wine, please, don't run away. |

The big difference is not between French and other European people, but American girls are really a turn off. Or maybe I had some bad experiences.

"They?" inquired Metzger, twinkling also.
"Us?" asked Oedipa.

Zis forum iz in Eengleesh, Adnan. Some of the fanatical French fans might not be comfortable with that language.
Plus, it is a little known fact that a fraction of music listeners do not use the internet. Shocking, I know.
We've all met fanatics at gigs that we never see here, and God knows some of them are dedicated followers of FB. They're just not interested in chatting with us, I'm afraid. Which is unfortunate, since some of them must have tons of cool bootlegs to trade...

"I guess I have the most fanatical following in France, but in general, I find my fans to be a very pleasant bunch."
OK, so where are the French fanatics?
There are not so many French people oon this forum, after all. I guess they read les Inrocks too much.

Calistanian, "mayonnaise" is not even French. It actually comes from the Balears (the town of Mahón, on the island of Menorca). I know cos I had this as a Trivial Pursuit question recently :)
Mathilda May is French, though. Well, I think.

It wouldn't surprise me.
By the way if I'm going to be an ass can I please be a welsh ass rather than an english one. Cheers.

I was on holiday in Brittany as a child and made some good friends with some french kids who were staying on the same caravan site. We used to play table tennis most days and I tried to speak in french whenever I could even though their english was very good (and my french was bad). Anyway one day I announced, with arm outstretched for effect, that
"La mouche est morte" (The fly is dead)
There was indeed a dead fly on the window sill so I thought I was being rather clever. For some reason all of the french guys fell about laughing and it became the 'phrase' of the hoilday. I'd bump into people I didn't even know and they'd lean towards me and say 'la mouche est morte' like some kind of secret password.
I love the french sense of humour.

"colonized" : You forget the Roman Empire.

Hahahaha It reminds me of an american asking me what I did for Thanksgiving!
The only time we've been "colonized" (sp?) is during WW2 by nazis.
About the national anthem, I agree it's not a Hippie song at all, but I think fighting for freedom and your country when it's ruled by dictators is not a shame. |
