The French

The only French person I know is a cousins hubby. Introduced me to whiskey at a wedding as a teenager. Sound fella.

I only know two french people personally.
One,great to work with lovely girl...could not live with her-constantly bitches about Ireland which irritates the hell out of me

The other-hates French people which I think is hilarious, cant stand to be lumped in with French people stereotypes especially because she comes from just outside of Paris so people tend to make assumptions about her. Would live with with her in a heartbeat and have stayed with her in her hometown a fair few times.

I wouldnt live with anybody I dont know though if I could help it-French, Polish, Japanese, Irish... doesnt matter. Theres some assholes and some lovely ones of each and knowing me Id get the dregs of the lucky dip!

Don't like living with people I know.. From experience, people have more respect for strangers than for friends. And it's good for meeting people.

I've never done a house share with strangers so you could be right there-but Id just be afraid of nutters, my brother ended up with a guy who just sat around in his boxers playing a banjo in the sitting room all day and barely talked! The room constantly smelled of sex even though he was the only one in there most of the time.

Give me my mates any day!

France would be a lovely country if it wasn't for all the french

I just checked an amazing house... rooftop terrace, games room, class living room and kitchen, massive bedrooms and all for a good price.
But my housemates would have been 3 french people and I just couldn't do it.. Give me any and I mean any other nationality in the world and I would have taken it ina heartbeat. But with French people? No way.

Anyone else feel like this? Am I racist? Or is it built up anger at having to study their camp language for 6 years so I could goto college? Or is it just the fact that almost all the French I've met have been loud and crap?

Where the house

I had to deal with the French last year and when I heard that I was delighted thought it would be nice , after about a week I hated them I found them all to be arrogant and ignorant .this year I refused to have anything to do with them now the Spanish they are a nice crowd

Lived with one that was a proper cunt but he was the exception to be honest.

Wear a fake Poirot moustache, beret and hooped jersey to break the ice when you move in.

Don't put a string of onions around your neck though as that would just be corny and stereotypical.

Its Garlic:cool:

Can anyone say cut the grass in French

Lived with a few French people throughout college. 3 in total.

1. Chap from Marseilles, absolutely loaded with money. Poor chap wrecked my head. Didn't know how to cook, clean or even use the washing machine. His maid did it for him in France. He also didn't like to ix with the Irish too much and was as tight as a ducks arse when ever he joined us to the pub. He thought rounds were us buying him beer for free.

2. French girl, one of my best friends to date. She was born in France and her parents Moroccan. She is intelligent, friendly, polite and she comes to visit still. She loved it here and didn't want to leave.

3. Another rich boy, totally ignorant hated anyone who wasn't French except the Irish of course (because he was talking to me). Biggest racist I've met in my life, no respect for other cultures and especially the Algerians/Moroccans which he referred to as monkeys. Complete twat!

In all French people are grand some smoking hot woman and some hairy ones too. Some loud cocky fellas and some sound. Alot of them claim to despise the French and their government but sure thats like most of us these days. "Fecking Ireland, Fecking govt w@nkers" etc

Go for it I say, they will only wreck your head if you let them. If your a strong open minded person you'll fly it!
