To sing The Mayonnaise in solidarity with France tonight.

[DoctorTwo]

Whether or not you think IBU I'm going to bellow out the words to the Marsellaise when the anthems are played tonight. And it's better than the English anthem by far.

Thank you OP, that did amuse me. Nice thought too.

Bumping this for its epic autocorrect fail and excellent sentiments.

I will never look a jar of Hellmann's or watch "Casablanca" in quite the same way.

I'm happy to have provided people with a good laugh. :o

Well OP, I will be sending you a bill for cleaning my computer screen. I spluttered soup EVERYWHERE!

I cannot stop laughing.

I saw this thread the other day but hadn't clicked on it. Now I have and I've got the proper giggles.

'The Mayonnaise'

Lovelyfriend, there were more French agents involved. Those two you mention were the only two arrested. It was one of the other men involved who apologised. I only heard an article about the apology on the radio a week or two ago.

That previous article said the French State itself had previously apologised, as does this one

but this one doesn't say that. I don't know which one if correct.

Don't want to take the thread up with this separate issue (this is last post), but the bbc one here says apology was made by France
