PSG and City

[colourmeblue]

Off to France next week staying near Azincourt, should I take a longbow?

Its Agincourt. They do not like the 2 finger salute.
They are the only ones that understand it.
When an English bowman was captured, the French would cut off his fingers.To stop him being a bowman again.
In battle , the English would flick 2 fingers up at the French to piss them off.
Thats where the 2 finger salute comes from.

urban myth...ask Stephen Fry ;0)

Strange fookers the french
My Dad allways used to tell me a story about, of how he and a few of his "jolly good chaps" went into a local french bar in 1944 whilst traveling through europe on his way to Berlin, the french barman refused to serve them saying, " you don't frighten us, you English pig dogs, go and boil your bottoms, sons of silly persons" My Dad was some what dismayed, saying "Now look here my good man" to which the barman replied "I don't want to talk to you anymore, you empty headed animal food trough wiper! I fart in your general direction! your mother was a hampster and your father smelt of elderberries"
Strange fookers the french, close the fooking tunnel, coregated cars, galic charm, seaguls following trawlers wanker, copying Blackpool tower and hairy armpited women, but armed with this pearl of wisdom, when I go to France now I allways take a barrel of draught bitter with me, as I cannot allow my family to be taunted in such a manner ever again.

Good syory that but told in jest ..i think.
Now this one is true, my mates dad is Polish and served with the british army during the invasion of France in 44 as his tank passed thru a small town they stopped outside the mayors house for re supply the tank crew asked the mayor if they coud use his well to take water on board he sneered at them and refused point blank.
Now having fought all the way from the d day beaches to this crappy little galic hovel and after seeing their mates killed and wounded they took offence at this cleared the house of people and reversed theyr 32 ton tank right thru the middle of his house and flattened it.
Lessons from this are the French still havnt forgiven us for Agincourt and are a bunch of cunts.
Lesson two never argue with mad Poles driving tanks.
Fellow blues can we now not have a 20 page rant at the POLES as i only originally wanted to knw about PSG and City.

In France it's Azincort and that story is untrue but good try.

I don't actually think there is a 'confirmed' reasoning behind how the v-sign came about is there?

The Agincourt reference above is just one of many theories.

It is disproved so it's not a theory, there is no evidence of that story pre-dating the 1980's.

The first recorded "flicking of the V's" appears in a short movie of workers outside a factory in 1901.

There is also no recorded tales nor evidence of any foreign army, let alone the French, cutting off the two bow fingers of archers. They simply executed all enemy combatants that were not of rank or wealth.

So do I take the bloody long bow or not
