The French

Having been teaching The French how to speak English for the last four months I've come to the following conclusions:

17% of The French are massively sexist idiots.
12% of The French are very, very angry people.
61% of The French are perfectly nice, thank you.
0.5% of The French don't believe the moon landings took place (so just one student as it goes, who I thought was quite smart until then).
12% of The French have lovely breasts.
01% of The French really hate Shakespeare.

What are your opinions about The French?

BlodwynPig

How old are these French?

Quote12% of The French have lovely breasts.

Shit Good Nose

One of my aunts is French (hailing from Nice), however she speaks English with quite a strong Welsh accent having moved to Chepstow with my (Welsh) uncle in her very early 20s (she's now approaching 70).  I can't comment on her breasts, although she was an objectively incredibly attractive woman in her youth, alas destroyed by years of heavy chain smoking.

Also you forgot:
96% are heavy chain smokers

bgmnts

They would rather die than live without fags, cheese and/or bread.

They are an interesting people to me, the ones I have met anyway, I think because we arw Britons and as a result are naturally trashy and shit with food and culture and fashion and all that we kind of view the French as rather sophisticated and intimidating, so we mock them.

One or two I have met in my time were genuinely sneering tossers though.

Shit Good Nose

Most of their comedy is shit, though.


EDIT - this thread is blatantly xenophobic/racist isn't it?

Buelligan

Yes.  But most of us view the Brits as alcoholic pugilists with the manners, cuisine and dress-sense of alcoholic pugilists.  And, of course, now, as people who can't even run a cocktail party in a fucking ballroom.  Also a bit plump.  And racist.

Fucking hell, I think I've met her.  She's not with him any more is she and she's pretty fucking old but extremely uninhibited.  Spent some time in Herefordshire too?

The chain smokers are all dead btw.  I hardly meet anyone that smokes any more.

Just make sure you rub your teeth with raw garlic just before going in and kiss each one of the panel three times on the lips and once on the arse when you're introducing yourself and again, when you leave.  You're a shoo-in.

Fuckin ell, is the current France retiring or moving upstairs?

Shit Good Nose

My dad loved France.  He'd have loved to have moved there in retirement.  The fact that he loved cheese and wine was a happy coincidence.

We holidayed there every year for about fifteen years, and I remember one time in particular when we were staying in the Dordogne (at that time one of the few places in France that welcomed Brits with open arms).  Dad was a-bit-more-than-conversational-but-not-quite-fluent in the lingo and we were in one of their enormo-markets with the live crabs and lobsters making a slow but pointless bid for escape, and dad was looking for the red wine -all we could find was white.  And he said summat in French to this portly chap who had several bottles of red in his trolley, and what I heard was
"Rouge.  Vin rouge?"
"Huh?"
"Rouge."
"Huh?"
"Vin rouge" (dad points at one of the bottles of red in portly man's trolley)
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH, HHHHHHHCCCCCCHHHHRRRRRRROOOOOOOOUGE!!!!!"

Evidently there was a particular way to say red in French in the Dordogne.

Buelligan

It's over the whole of France actually.

They're mostly in their sixties.

I think there already is a France so you might be wasting your time. Also have you thought about the work/life balance issues of getting a job as an entire country?

studpuppet

You also missed out:

49% have their pockets filled with bangers and flick-knives

Shit Good Nose

Also 100% are shoplifters until the age of about 23.

A great bunch, back in the day when the front line knew how to crouch properly for a team photo.  Oi, Six, GET DOWN

QuoteIn the 1986 World Cup he scored a goal with a 27-meter shot against France in a 1–1 draw in the first round: a headed clearance by France was picked up by Ihor Belanov and laid off to (Vasyl) Rats, who on the first touch, struck the ball powerfully from several yards outside the area past French goalkeeper Joël Bats and into the top left corner of the net.

What percentage wear berets, stripey tops and onions around their neck while riding around on bicycles?

What percentage are Sacha Distel?

What percentage have outrageous accents?

Twit 2

Taught English to a petulant French teenager whose opening gambit was to say they'd just watched The Tree of Life and hated it. This was in the height of my Malick fandom. I'm still seething.

[tag]Now, let me tell y'all about the Negro...[/tag]

Brundle-Fly

My other half is from the South Of France, a village near Nice. Very fiery, opinionated, vain, green-eyed, knows everything about everything. Conversations with her sometimes feel like a row. It's that hot Mediterranean blood coursing through her veins.  She says I wouldn't last a minute there. Thinks British food is mostly rank especially the bread and cakes, hates carpets, windows, over-familiar newsreaders, pebbly beaches, the crappy weather, the NHS and GP are, of course, not nearly as good as in France, most British girls are tarty, and calls British blokes, 'roast beef' or 'really skinny'!?. However, she says people are better drivers in the UK, less judgemental and loves old British TV shows and our comedy: Father Ted, OFITG are her favourites. She likes our range of savoury snacks but doesn't understand how Brits eat crisps as part of their lunch. She is a great cook, DIY expert, sexy, thoughtful, loyal and looks fifteen years younger than her age because she always moisturizes so some people think she is my daughter. Has spectacular breasts.

They're all French by the time I'm finished with them.

Britain is superior to France in every conceivable way apart from red wine and outdoor group gangbangs.

Their war flags are a bit on the plain side.
