Yes, but as before, they're filled with chocolate.

If world war III occurs, will France paint out the red and blue, just to save time?

French Prometheus

Yeah, I know. Living on a puny island where you can barricade yourselves from enemies is convenient. Of course, one has to be willing to bear the shitty weather.

French Prometheus

I don't know what happened to them but I hoped they were punished... for being caught. What a bunch of incompetent jerks. Whatever happened to "never being caught alive" and "dying for the glory of France"?

Didn't they have cyanide capsules or anything?

*sigh*

Raindrops or Nazi occupation? Tough choice to make

Can't say that the island's too uncomfortable when sweet, sweet liberty is in your garden

Still, I'm sure all the French people were thinking

'Fuck, Hilter's taken over! But at least it's sunny enough in the south of France to have a banquet'

Except you can't have a banquet because you surrendered to the scum of the earth!

When the flag designers did the blue and red bits THEY WERE JOKING!

Agnostic Theist

Those principles are dead. They died when you French decided it was better not to!

I suspect they didn't take the capsules because they were made in the USA. :Cheeky:

French Prometheus

Replace raindrops with English food and the choice REALLY becomes tough...

White was the color of the French king and stood for purity (the king was chosen by Gawd). It sure wasn't about surrender (as your army learned the hard way).

Red and blue are the colors of Paris and were added at the beginning of the revolution. The motto of Paris is fluctuat nec mergitur. That wouldn't apply to London though since you never got rid of the French-Normand occupiers :devil1: You're even so proud of it that your motto is still in French.

Not that our pubs don't have better food and service, according to a top Euro food critic, than your restaurants.


Yes, because the king was white, just like all the leaders of your xenophobic nation

Yes, and I bet he had blonde hair and blue eyes and was Ayren!

WATERLOO! WATERLOO! WATERLOO! :Cheeky:

When you can appeal to a war you've won RECENTLY come back and comment

Oh shut the fuck up people. WE were occupied by the french (the Napoleontic defensline of fortresses in my howntown still distinctly divides the old city from the newer parts) you don't hear me bitching.

Right now the French (being one of the more atheistic people around) are important rational allies in our defense of secularisation in Europe. And don't think the vatican doesn't want to get his greasy little fingers on the way the european union is run... or that the same can't be said of many muslim immigrants.

Agnostic Theist

You do realise I was joking, right?

(Except for the parts about French being crap at war )

French Prometheus

:rolling:

Yeah, 'cause you've had plenty of non-White kings and queens in England...

You can thank Blücher and the Prussian army for that one. It looks like a recurring English trait to claim victories that others won for you.

BTW, I wonder if any other country in Europe ever lost a one-century-long war. And we won it all by oursleves.

And when François de Guise finished off the job in 1558 (by kicking your ass in Calais), he was also leading a 100% French army.

All by oursleves: various African conflicts (Chad (several times), Gabon, Congo,...).
Within a coalition: 1st Iraq war and war in Afghanistan (if we can call the latter a victory, which is very debatable).
