DickieB Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 Pinched from another board. These do not necessarily represent my views: As the vote to decide who gets the 2012 Olympics draws closer, it might be necessary to look at our main rivals credentials in more detail: "My favourite bumper sticker in Washington D.C. right now is the one that says 'First Iraq, then France'." Tom Brokaw "The French announced today that they would not help us remove Saddam from Iraq. Well Duh! They didn't even help us remove Hitler from France." Jay Leno "France said this week they need more evidence to convince them Saddam is a threat. Yeah, last time France asked for more evidence it came rolling thru Paris with a German Flag on it." Dave Letterman Why are all the highways in France lined with trees? So the Germans can march in the shade!!! Unknown Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without an accordion. All you do is leave behind a lot of noisy baggage. Unknown "France has neither winter, nor summer, nor morals. France is miserable because it is filled with Frenchmen, and Frenchmen are miserable because they live in France." Mark Twain "Only thing worse than a Frenchman is a Frenchman who lives in Canada." Ted Nugent "The only way the French are going in with us is if we tell them we found truffles in Iraq." Unknown War without France would be like ... uh ... World War II Unknown "What do you call 100,000 Frenchmen with their hands up? The Army" Unknown Q. How do you stop a French tank? A. Shoot the guy pushing it. Unknown Q. How many Frenchman does it take to defend Paris? A. We don't know, it's never been tried. The best French bashing line heard over the last week is: "We can count on the French to be there when they need us." Unknown I'm trying to see things your way, but I'm having trouble getting my head up my own [censored] I'd rather be in a war with the Germans in front of me than the French behind me. Anon) Quote

Nick M Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 I loved the programmes Clarkson did about other countries. The one in France was great. I think he was sailing on some big catermaran and made a few comments and the Froggy sailor bloke said "Why don't you like France ??". To which Clarkson replied "No no - I *LOVE* France, I adore it !! It's just the French I can't stand !!" Quote
