    I've got nothing against the French. :confused:

    I've never been to Paris so can't comment on that. France has many fine exports - cheeses, wines, fashions. And Normandy is absolutely beautiful. All I said was there's the odd exception; surely that's true of everywhere.

    Care to presume anything else about me? :)

    French people are serial killers thread starters.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,597 ✭✭✭dan719


    I have a french friend who is awesome as are her family, but the rest of ye are c*nts. Pretentious, obnoxious, always complaining and then trying to make up for your eternal small man syndrome (Napoleon and Pipin) by attempting to create the French Empire aka the EU.

    Sorry I'm in a really bad mood today.

    Hey, were you born abroad? That's really cool and fascinating. You should start multiple threads about it, and maybe let us know how many languages you speak. You're really cool and different, I really like you!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,547 ✭✭✭Agricola


    The French gave us Eric Cantona and very stylish laydeez, whats not to like!

    Erm, just go through the OP's previous posts and you'll be closer to an answer.

    "Yo Imma let you finish but Italy has one of the best capital cities around."

    I like paris, haven't been to it in years though used to go a couple or 3 times a year for a while. It does have major problems though. Architecturally /culturally etc is is beautiful. People wise not always so good. I think most people from a capital city tend to have more of a bragging kind of outlook than the rest of the country (this goes for dublin as well).

    I like Johnny Onion Rings.. does that count?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,247 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec


    All the French folks in Paris told my daughter and her chums, on a school trip, to fuck off back to England.

    (no vague generalisation intended:P)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,941 ✭✭✭caseyann


    ^^^^ yeah but when they hear you are Irish different story :D



    Cool nice people :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,892 ✭✭✭ChocolateSauce


    I though Paris was the most magnificent city I've ever been to, and I'm considering moving there sometime in the next 5-10 years. As for the French, they're too diverse (and I've too little experience) to really comment, except to say I like the national mentality, mostly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,231 ✭✭✭✭Sparky


    Depends on who you meet.
    Every country has their fair share of great people and then downright planks, but thankfully the ones I have met have been very pleasant.
    One of my true great friends is French and she would go to the ends of the earth for me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    It's nice that Parisians allow you to cross the road near the Champs Elysees and don't run you down , very thoughtful of them .My expierences with French people in Ireland /France/UK has being pretty good .

    Paris is too touristy for me, but like southern France where I have relatives. French blue is also one of my favourite colours!

    It's opinion not fact - see this is what I was getting at in my other thread ;)

    I found the friendliest people I ever met were down towards the south West of France. Seemed really really nice people. Pays De Royan I think was the name of the area if I remember right. Even in Paris I didn't find people any more unfriendly than any other capital city. Maybe it helps that I can speak a bit of the lingo.

    Mind you "I'm a thread starter, twisted thread starter" dubois does appear to fit the more arrogant image some people have of the French. ;)

    French people? They're the worst.

  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 35,946 Mod ✭✭✭✭dr.bollocko


    France is a great country to just drive around. Love the place. I shall live there one day. Been over there loads, Paris, the south, the north. Never found the people rude if you can speak a bit of the lingo. Paris is the only place I've ever seen a 40 year old doctor with a designer suit scoot to work.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,256 ✭✭✭metaoblivia


    Despite all of the stereotypes I heard about French people - and Parisians particularly - I've had good experiences all three times I've visited. Maybe it's because I can speak enough French to hold a conversation or because, for some weird reason, a lot of people think I "look French," including every Brit I've ever met and my own mother. But French people and Parisians have always been decent to me!

    nah your more Irish than French. French people don't care what people think of them that's why i admire them, but you think you're French and you brag to your mates about it too i'm guessing. Oh vindicate me, vindicate me please! Im so continental!! yeah.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,130 ✭✭✭✭Kiera


    Love them! My niece is half French half Irish and lives in Paris. I hear people going on about them having a stick up their bum my my ex inlaws have the same sense of humour as us.

    I'm growing to strongly dislike my French neighbour. He keeps stealing my parking space, kicking a football against the garden wall, and jabbering away really loudly. But I'm presuming not all French people are space-stealing, jabbering, football playing tossers...so I reckon they're probably ok as a whole....just not the one living next to me....stupid right-hand drive banger taking my space...:mad:

    But then to cheer myself up I've opened a bottle of French red wine....so French people are now, in general, wonderful!

    What did you do to Sarkozy now? Was it his wife? Cos in fairness we've all done his wife.

    Sure it has its problems but i mean its a city of c. 8m people, you cant expect all of them to be friendly

    I have found the French to be more welcoming in the south than in the north.Lovely country though,and it was hard to beat the fresh bread in the morning.

    views on paris and frenchys,

    Paris - dirty

    Frenchys - arrogant


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,739 ✭✭✭✭minidazzler


    Damn French, the Yanks saved your ass in 2 world wars!!! And ye pulled out of Nam to early.:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,750 ✭✭✭liah




    ...That's all I have to say on that matter.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,691 ✭✭✭Lia_lia


    Spent all of my childhood summers (and 4 full years) in France, unwillingly. Would have preferred to be able to stay here with my friends. Therefore I have a sh*t perception on the place. But you know, I guess it's grand. Never liked Paris until I was there this January, and it was snowing! Very beautiful. All my memories of Paris before that were of the musky, stuffy, smelly type.
