The Frogs are our enemies, but we are very possessive. If anyone else were to threaten them we would defend them to the last.

Re: Whats a

We hate them (or love them) because they are family. Read early English history.

Actually I think it was the stock that had the hole drilled in the wrong place .. however not a good idea to drill another or enlarge existing one so a new collar is being made to fit the badly (factory) drilled hole.

Re: Whats a Scouser?

A scouser is somebody from the fair city of Liverpool; a group of people renowned for their honesty, humility, sophistication and deep attachment to other people's possessions /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

The relationship between the UK and France is a long and complex one and, as noted above, is as much to do with sibling rivalry as anything else. It's perhaps characterised by the fact that, when a Frenchman takes the Eurostar train to London, he disembarks at a station named after the battle of Waterloo..........

There was an article by Peter Mayle in the Guardian the other day, marking 100 years of the "Entente Cordiale" between the UK and France which gave me some cheer. Mayle famously lived in Provence for a few years, and wrote about it:

<<I used to be somewhat sensitive about my nationality, and I could never quite escape the feeling that I was no more than a permanent and possibly unwelcome tourist. Then one day, a neighbour with whom I was having a drink put my mind at rest. "You are English," he said, "which is of course unfortunate. But you should know that most of us down here prefer the English to the Parisians." >>

You'll find the full text of the article <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.guardian.co.uk/france/story/0,11882,1185804,00.html> here</A>

Re: Whats a Scouser?

Actually it is a bit more complex than that:

Scousers are basically Irish that got chucked out of Ireland for petty larceny and drunkeness .. Liverpool was a sort of Erse penal colony.
OTOH As a Scot we have a long tradition of friendship with our Garlic brethren founded in a shared liking of things in skirts and common cause against the germanic aggressive boorishness of our English neighbours.
