Yes, thats realy getting revenge, giving a bunch of Thai kids a substandard education to get back at a British woman who was rude to you in the 1970's, that should teach her.

I wouldn't expect your dull wit to understand tongue-in-cheek humor, so I won't bother to explain.

Hopefully true, but maybe you have to be open-minded first to be able to be affected by your travels

That also is true, I like France. The ones who insist you speak French are usually the ones that do not speak English, not because you are in France

The trouble with tongue-in-cheek humour is that nobody can understand what you are saying

YOU can't understand. Speak for yourself, dude. Don't assume everyone else's wit is as droll and dull as your own.

My experience showed that the reception I got depended greatly on how I approached the situation. If I tried to use french (and that included reading out from a phrase book word by word), however bad it was, however mangled, the reception was uniformly warm, patient and hospitable. Not even trying to use french usually got a cool (at best) reception. A perhaps not unreasonable situation.

what do the English and French have in common?






















Their arrogance

Whereas Americans think that saying the same thing in English (American) more loudly will suddenly make them understandable.

English have big Dicks, French are Big Dicks

Much as we may try to be welcoming, visitors from abroad remain distinctly unimpressed

Don't we have more than enough 'visitors from abroad' without trying to welcome anymore?

Perhaps that may explain our unfriendliness, but you can't say we don't have a sense of humour.

That's true but as england is one of the most densely populated countries on the planet, they definately have more wankers per square kilometer than other nations.
