I've seen this quite a bit of late.
I don't get why people don't like France
. I think France is 
What have they done wrong except from Nuclear testing, blocking ferry ports, disputing beef.
I know where I would rather live

Because they are ignorant ****** who only go on holiday to places that serve english food, and show live "premier league" football.
.....yes, I think that sums it up rather well.

In many ways i like France too,my bro's G/F is french and she's a really nice person.Doesn't change the fact that at the present there behaving in a pretty poor fashion over Iraq.
If they are prepared to use the veto over the second resolution then why did they vote FOR the previous one?

Yeah, dirty free women 
I have found French women to be much more into "uncommon" sexual practices than English or Italian or US American women. God knows why...

Said it here before. The French look after the French, unlike the British who look after everyone bar themselves. About time we did the same I think.

"poor fashion"? They protect themselves from an Iraqi chemical attack, how is that "poor"? Oh, you mean not siding with you and all that?
Look after No1 before you look after anyone else

just look at jacques chirac. or jean-marie le pen. it's all the evidence you need.
it's their wholly disgraceful, crooked, obsessively self-interested, hypocritical and cowardly government that's the problem - no other European government can touch them for brass neck and sleaziness.
it's not the people, nor the culture, nor the cuisine, nor the country, nor the climate. all of which are a true delight.
you can take the politician out of vichy but you can't take vichy out of the politician.

If you want women, the place to be is Rome.
As a local guy said 'you can sit a get drunk on all the beautiful women walking past'. Me and my 2 mates scoffed, low and behold we sat for 3 hours mesmerised by the ladies - they were all superb - hubba hubba!!!

IMHO
France is a country of grace and beauty. Individually the people are great, each region having its own unique attitudes. But its as a nation that they have let themselves down. Through centuries of political turmoil, ineptitude and apathy they have developed a stance where they only look after No1 and will not stand up for themselves but run with any hare and hounds who offer the least point of resistance.
Oh and the smell of p*ss and garlic.

There was a Frenchman, an Englishman and Claudia Schiffer sitting together
in a carriage in a train going through Provence. Suddenly the train went
through a tunnel and as it was an old style train, there were no lights in
the carriages and it went completely dark. Then there was a kissing noise
and the sound of a really loud slap. When the train came out of the tunnel,
Claudia Schiffer and the Englishman were sitting as if nothing had happened
and the Frenchman had his hand against his face as if he had been slapped
there.
The Frenchman was thinking: 'The English fella must have kissed Claudia
Schiffer and she missed him and slapped me instead.'
Claudia Schiffer was thinking: 'The French fella must have tried to kiss me
and actually kissed the Englishman and got slapped for it.'
And the Englishman was thinking: 'This is great. The next time the train
goes through a tunnel I'll make another kissing noise and slap that French
b*stard again.'

I reckon they have a go cos of the green eyed monster- its 25 degrees and wonderfully sunny here today, I've just had a 3 course meal with unlimited wine and an espresso for lunch (which incidentally is 2 hrs long here!)and it cost me £6. Tommorrow I won't go to work as I have taken it as a "RTT day" you get one of these every month to use as you please. If you were a smoker then your habit is cheaper, like a drink- good wine is available from £1 a bottle up. Also the sheer quality and variety of the food available at cheap prices.
Also my 98 RON fuel cost 1€ 04 cents on Sunday about 70p a ltr- how much is it the UK at the mo?
All in all its a wonderful place- if only it wasn't full of French people!(tongue slightly in cheek)
