In a futile attempt to drum up some international friendship with the cheese-eating....the French, I'm suggesting renaming of English institutions for a week, possibly the last week of October.
Stonehenge gets renamed as the Gaulle Stones, then we get the House of Lourdes and so on. The Eurostar
terminal in St Pancras, gets renamed Vichy..and so on..

Am I supposed to take you seriously in this category? |
|
| |
Suggested title England-France rapproachment. |
|
| |
Some parts of the UK still fondly remember the Auld Alliance! |
|
| |
Forgot Blackpool tower.... |
|
| |
This is a great plan. What have you got up your
sleeve for when they think we like them? |
|
| |
Shhh. You'll spoil the best part ... 21st October is Trafalgar day, 25th
is Agincourt day ... you get the idea now ? |
|
| |
Wait - the French have an entire court devoted to
gin? I'm beginning to warm to them a little. |
|
| |
Most of the verdicts do get over-turned...it's the twist of lemon in the G#$%^& (knew the & was in there somewhere)T, always leaves grounds for a peel... |
|
| |
And for that, [n_m_rm], you deserve no
mercy whatsoever, in this world
or the next. |
|
| |
Good thing I didn't mention the Lourdes Cricket ground, where miracles (for the English side) are few and far between... |
|
| |
La Marseillaise refrain( see link ) |
|
| |
March, march
Let impure blood
Water our furrows |
|
| |
The howling of these fearsome soldiers
They are coming into our midst
To cut the throats of your sons and consorts |
|
| |
Those would be the Germans, presumably ... |
|
| |
[bigsleep], that was merely a pretend game. They
didn't invent *everything*, they didn't invent the
internet, remember? |
|
| |
Guessing it would be tricky to find the French equivalent of Birmingham.... |
|
| |
There's some place up in the North-east
where they stockpile and destroy recovered
WW1 chemical munitions; that might be near
to Walsall, or Dudley. But finding an
equivalent to Birmingham itself is judged
impossible. There's only one Hell*, likewise
there's only one Birmingham. |
|
| |
*The one with the demons and pitchforks and
pits of liquid fire and souls in eternal
torment- and still a much more pleasant
place than Smethwick. |
|
| |
That's a good bile in gall pun... |
|
| |
I think naming schemes are [m-f-d] material. |
|
| |
You mean all children will just be given numbers instead? |
|
| |
Would keep numerologists in business. |
|
| |
As I said earlier, if it can't get out of autre générale then it must be une blague. |
|
| |
Ahh, Le Mot de Gaulle, rather than Le Mot de
Cambronne … |
|
| |
Like in the Indian Army revolt 1857, the situation is becoming bahadur and badahur. |
