Not at all Francis.

Here in South Australia we are exceptionally proud of our "could have been" connections with France.

Having been to France I can say I loved it. And I appreciated the patience of the people I met in dealing (patiently) with my efforts at communication.

I love the French- with the exception of my 10th grade french language teacher. I can't remember her name, but she was from Rouen. She said I spoke french with a New York accent and no one would understand me. When I went to France a few years latter, I so self-conscious of my accent that I would only speak english. I would draw little pictures of napkins and ticket stubbs to communicate rather than pronounce words. Today I can't remember a full sentence in french. Can someone please pass the freedom fries?

Hope you make it to 101.

Francis, I am sorry La Belle France failed in its bid for the 2012 Olympic Games. I was so looking forward to camping in your garden. Blame it on those Brits with their gun boats. Cricket, and that Lord. Crying or Very sad

Better watch all that kissing, Francis. You might contract mono.

Sorry that Paris lost the bid as well. (I guess)

Gunboats? Good god no!

You know, France's economy is not as flourishing as UK's. We can't afford...

We begin at a tender age here. By now we are immunized against kissing diseases.

If you actually get to 101 pages Francis, you can dress me up in a striped sweater and beret, hang onions round my neck, and call me your petit Chou Chou all day!

Shocked


Excuse me, do I look like I care? I ask you, what chance did the States have when Hillary Clinton turned up? In nautical terms it was Trafalgar II.

I would also wish to distance myself from the quotes on France by the spokesperson on foreign affairs, to wit Bart Simpson.

However, magnanimous in defeat, I extend my warmest congratulations to Lord Coe and Co and I will attend, providing I don't have to travel to Manchester. Laughing
