not just style, food, alcohol, anything
why the permanent comparisons?
we would be better off comparing outselves to asimilar type of country say,... denmark or Norway

Am pretty sure we have oysters here........

Not keen on Frenchmen.

Danish men....that big blonde goalkeeper who played for Man Utd, Peter Schmeical. Hamlet?
And ummmm, an explorer.

miumiu · 25/11/2009 18:13

God, I hate the word Bap. Conjures up saggy bosoms for some reason. And men in flat caps who spit when they talk.

Lizzylou · 25/11/2009 18:14

Hang on Miu?
With their short stature wouldn't the well endowed French male be like those gonk key rings that you pressed and a ginormous dick popped out?
Don't they topple over of a morning?

miumiu · 25/11/2009 18:15

Really?
A whole new experience I have missed, perhaps thats why Bonsoir does so many 's ?

miumiu · 25/11/2009 18:17

I siad three danish mumsnetters, not three famous danes.

mrsruffallo · 25/11/2009 18:17

That's why they are rude.Imagine having to lug the baguette between your legs around when you only have stumpy little legs

JesusChristOtterStar · 25/11/2009 18:24

better toys
lovely homes
fab films
women look a million times better especially over 40 - they are all thin and stylish ( massive generalisation but the median are!)
french actors phwoooar

pointydogg · 25/11/2009 18:27

lol (just to piss a few people off)

I have never noticed the france comparisons. Well, maybe occasionally.

pointydogg · 25/11/2009 18:29

I don't think it's because france is better. Sometimes it is mentioned to show how france is worse.

It must be mn's social and cultural barometer. France.

I thank you

pointydogg · 25/11/2009 18:45

no proper birthday cakes.

You have to make do with buying a cheesecake or mille feuilles

Francasaysrelax · 25/11/2009 18:50

I saw some fantastic cakes in french boulangeries. What is exactly a "proper birthday cake"?
