Hi
Sorree re Stella Artois well there you go! voila a famous Belgian.
I should have said K. Ronen Berg. As an ex publican I really should have known.

Re: typical!

I didn't know. I was asking... delving miles down into my ancient film memory. Now I've looked it up it was Sylvia Kristal. DOesn't sound very French either. Ms Schieder was the one in Last Tango.

Sorry, You\'re all wrong!

It has to be my good lady.

(No she doesn't read Scuttlebutt, so no brownie points - I just happen to KNOW it's true. So who's a lucky boy then? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif )

Stella Artois

.. is regarded as the weakest, p***y beer by Belgians, but marketed as premium lager in the UK - and at a premium price! Why? or is it bought by the same affluent souls who shop in swindleries?

 

[Koeketiene]

Real Belgians...

drink Jupiler. Stella is the second rate stuff they sell to foreigners.

As to price - some people feel they don't get value for money if they're not paying through the nose.

Re: typical!

She was Dutch. Maria Scheider enjoyed being buttered up by Marlon.

Without doubt, Rene Tremblere.

Bizet, Berlioz, Franck, Guonod, Massenet, Saint-Saëns, Meyerbeer

What about President MacMahon? There's a good French name.

 

[Sybarite]

What about Henry II - and Eleanor of Acquitaine. She was both a Queen of France and then a Queen of England.

Yeh, just like Scotland is part of England.

MacMahon and Port Mahon

Forgotten about him... bit of a bad lot by most accounts. Was he descended from one of the exiled Jacobite Irish generals with Charlie or his faither?

Any relation to Port Mahon?

 

[bumblefish]

William the Bastard was Norman, not French surely?
