Yeah, and a French farce would send me running for the hills. Very difficult to figure out those dichotomies....

The sun always shines out of the arse of France imho. SO there. Vive la France. I love them all, especially Tintin, and Monet.

Nobody's mentioned the clowns yet!

Why is French circus so good but their clowns so un-funny???????????????(ok I've only seen Cirque du Soleil)

Is it because they have no sense of humour? Has a French person ever made you laugh? (and I don't mean AT them!) Just curious Wink

But clowns are never funny. They're there to try and convince you that you can't see the workman pulling down the tight rope of setting up the trapeze.

Seems like everybody has something against clowns. (Not that i find them funny, but they don't bother me. Mimes now, I love Mimes. Laughing

)

Good to see both new and irregular participants in here, Smile

Ur-Monkey and Stonemaybe. Very Happy

And some good posts. Yeah HLT, I'm not talking about anything politically official. This stuff probably is fodder for the comedians. Then again, I sometimes wonder how much people rely on comedians for their politics? Wink

dAN's thread just made me wonder how that whole French thing was going. Very Happy

Keep dreaming HLT. It's still standing. I was there just yesterday. Got some snaps too. I'm sure Cail will enjoy one of them, so I'll post them tonight probably.

I was reading somewhere that they took a poll in the UK about which country is considered the most rude and inhospitable, and (surprise!) France won the first place...

Well, I was treated better that I suspected from my first visit to Paris 17 years ago. But then again, my french has improved a little since then. Either that, or they didn't remember me Smile

Clowns are evil

Of course, America took the French side in the Napoleanic Wars. (And how long did the French own chunks of America for?)
