i think the french leader needs to grow up !, he cant be THAT clever seeing that the worlds best resturant was voted to be in england ! how ironic ?

I think tony blair is for the first time doing something right , showing he isnt being bullied by france , germany, russia, (as they were all together at the time slagging the uk off) im pleased tony isnt getting involved with this stupid petty name calling from country to country , you just need to rise above it as a leader and act professional in my opinion, not like the french. Hope tony acts like a professional about it all.

ps Im glad someone posted something about the french leader saying something about UK, cos i was gonna if not lol.

by the way i do think Chirac is a prat, but then so is Blair.
I’m on Blair’s side over the whole CAP debate, but i was on Chirac’s side when it came to the Iraq war

BTW , scotland has the most ginger people on the planet !other ginger people can be traced back to that reigion of the world doing dna test , fact. i love ginger people, not enough kicking around lol, love my hoildays in scotland aswell , and never had a problem.
This all came about with chirac cos they are meeting in scotland and he said not that dame food again, (cos they serve them haggis apparently)
I like fance me, my sister lives there, cant say im a big fan of there food BUT they have the best bakerys in the world and a chocolate.

Yes ginger people would definitely have Celtic roots, but not necessarily scottish....and ginger hair is pretty rare. I dont know why the subject of ginger hair was brought into the conversation anyway ??

Anyway, i think Chirac has a point about British food. We do have some of the best restaurants in the world, but when it comes to what individuals and families eat at mealtimes, the french would win on quality and health hands down.

I had a laugh about the mad cows comment! One has to be stupid to be caught in such situation.. it is just embarrasing!

I’ve never been to England so I cannot comment. But I didn’t like the times I’ve been in France, not at all. I’ve been 3x in Paris and cannot tell which time I hated it the most. Once I even had slight problems breathing because of that pollution cloud they have flying over the city. Not to talk about the time my parents and I drove to Germany with the caravan and had to stop in French resting areas, it felt like stepping back in time when I saw those toiletts / wholes on the floor where I was supposed to pee.. and man! did that stink!! And last but not least, I can’t stand French language, it gets on my nerves, I can’t do anything about that, I just get *iiiiihhh* when I hear it.

Of course, this doesn’t keep me from having French friends (as long as they speak in English ;)) :P We just bug eachother about our countries and have a laugh and that’s it :)

Re. 2012, I’m for Madrid, but I’m sure they won’t get it. Either London or NY as both countries (specially the last one) need some reputation back ;)
