who should gringo see in Paris but...
Currently seeing the sights in Paris, and who should I see as one of the premier attractions, but old legs Kepler Bradley! He goes under an alias here "le hunchback of notre damn" but there is no denying it is him. He's a whily fox for sure. Sounds like a tough loss against Port. Seems as though we are playing a little better though?
Anyways, time to get to the moulin rouge and paint this town red. au revoir and bon soir

Go and find Karmichael Hunt, AKA c***.. You might be able to teach him how to kick, handball, and bounce the ball.. He'll give you a free pack of Swiss Multi-Vitamins and you'll be fighting fit for the rest of your trip

Even Gringo would be considered a gentleman of the highest manners in that cesspool of arrogance, Paris. Seriously, stick it up those cocky French bastards** Gringy old boy, teach them some home spun Aussie courtesy.

Re: who should gringo see in Paris but...
While I generally agree with Paris being over-rated (Barcelona craps all over it), there are some cool spots if you avoid the usual tourist traps. You should definately go for a meal in the 18th arrondissement (African), and also check out the market there which has the best atmosphere in Paris. You should also head out for a few drinks in one of the great bars on the Rue Oberkampf in the 20th.

Yep. Very important this...Filthy wrote:If you're there just make it clear you are Aussie and not a Pom.
They just hate each other passionately, but the Aussies get a good gig 'cos of the 50000 guys buried in North France from 1914-18. The Frogs just can't get why we came 26000k to get ourselves knocked for them. I got the impression its because they wouldn't have done it.

I am pretty sure I said "G'day" to some French bird in a cafe on Rue Victor Hugo and she still spat in my 'Pain avec Jambon et Fromage'Filthy wrote:If you're there just make it clear you are Aussie and not a Pom.

Re: who should gringo see in Paris but...
I don't think it matters if you are English, Aussie, or bloody Pakistani - they hate everyone, especially if you can't speak French. I was lucky that I had a good grasp on the language when I went, but they still turned their noses up.
They only people that don't discriminate over their are the F****** beggers!

There are plenty of nice French people...it's just that the bad ones are so bad that they leave you with a permanent memory of their crappy attitude.

I think it would only be polite of people visiting France to speak enough French to get them by. The same goes for all countries that have a different language.Gimps wrote: they hate everyone, especially if you can't speak French.

Re: who should gringo see in Paris but...
My experiences there revealed that a lot of the locals openly sneer at you if you try and speak their language. I did a couple of years of French at high school and had a more than basic grasp of the language when I was there. Most times when I started speaking French, they would answer me in English and only speak French when they were giving me the bill or saying someting to confuse me.....the wankersrobrulz5 wrote:I think it would only be polite of people visiting France to speak enough French to get them by.

Re: who should gringo see in Paris but...
I didn't think the French were too bad, unless they worked for the Metro selling tickets or something like that. Those pricks didn't have any patience at all.swoodley wrote:My experiences there revealed that a lot of the locals openly sneer at you if you try and speak their language.

The Italians showed more arrogance and rudeness than any others. BY FAR. Some were just great too though.
