Y'know....as an English bird I have a sort of inherited disdain for the French......but actually on the couple of occassions I have visited France the people have been lovely. They've been friendly and helpful and if you make even the slightest attempt to talk in French they tell you what it should have sounded like then drop into English to be helpful Now I am sure not all of them are like that but my experiences of French people have been entirely positive.
Why they may have a beef with Americans? well that is a whole other story. They ( like many Europeans) have seen America grow up into a huge world striding bully with power and arrogance to rival the British Empire at it's height and which percieves itself to be above ( or seperate from) the rest of the world community. ( eg complete disdain for the UN, a refusal to sign up to a world court unless it's own soldiers are exempt and the refusal to sign up to kioto)

The problem is not that "we" won't, but that "you" did.

I hate them because they continue to whine about Lance making all their racers look like the Nancy-Boy pastry chefs they are.

i heard today that they've revived the rumors about him juicing so he could beat them.

maybe, just maybe the banned substance that he used was... SOAP. he used said banned substance to cleanse the scum from his flesh, thusly becoming more aerodynamic. you can obviously see how this would be an unfair advantage over the french riders.

Indeed. good shot.

However, Lance has to overcome an even greater obstacle to win. The wind resistance caused by his gargantuan American BALLS. er. ball. The French don't have that problem, obviously.

bargalunan has vestigal ones, at least, he still has hope.

Okay, Nood, let's start singing:

"Armstrong -- has only got one ball!/Barga -- has two but they are small..."

I know where is Urban Guerrilla's center of the world.
You can't find it on a map, but in an anatomic atlas

So, you're saying is that the only reason French women reproduce is tourism, aren't you? You know, that's got a side benefit. Give it long enough and none of the French will be genetically French. There could be some light at the end of the Chunnel!

Europeans shouldn’t have reproduced to give birth to ungrateful US children !

In France we say : Little car --> Big penis and Big car --> Little … !

Do you still enjoy your big Pick-up, Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick… ?

To answer you Mr Noddle, as for me I’ve got a very little and nice Peugeot 306 !

Meanwhile I must agree that French people don’t have enough courage to have balls cancer operation as Lance did in order to win races.
Even without doping he deserves winning : Respect !

If because of Monsanto you all get balls cancer, French could help US women… Friendly !

That's a common misconception. Peugots are for butt pirates. Get a truck.

What does barg know ... his alternative vehicle is a Citroen, the only vehicle worse than a Peugot.

Hell, Citroens are so bad we won't even import them! We let in the Yugo.

Isn't Citroen French for 'lemon'? It's not like they didn't warn you.

Indeed. Citroen and Peugeot make cars for unassisted people able to use a gear lever !

PS : it's true Citroen are worse than Peugeot.
They are made by Peugeot but don't deserve this name.

Bye
