Happy Bastille Day!

A Bastille Day Triomphe

Happy Bastille Day!

I guess noboby else like the frogs.

Fools. France is so beautiful, with a rich culture, one of the most romantic languages, an exquisite cuisine...

Pity about the people, though.

Usually I celebrate Bastille day with French champagne and some brie and French bread. This year, I'm skint, so I can only celebrate in spirit...

So, this year, here's the headbadge from perhaps my most prized possession, my 1977 Motobecane bicycle:

I have to agree with most of this except for the language. How can you corrupt Latin like that. Yes I did spend several years rather unsuccessfully trying to learn french.

I can understand a lot of written French, but when I hear it, fuggedaboutit.

But it does sound very romantic.

It's the greatest day of the French year...and the French celebrate their victory over other Fenchies

Tells ya something about them Frenchies

(sorry I'm so late in commenting on the day as it's pretty much over. I am soooooo lazy)

It's not THAT difficult.... it's english that's too easy ;)

And hum, we don't like being called frog, it's an insult...

(Then again, I'm french-canadian, not french)

Canadians inc French Canadians are nice people and in no way frogs. That is a France specific term.

BTW I am fluent in German which is probably at least as hard to master as French.

Anybody know of any French actresses they can recommend?

Ask Diggy Mike. He knows of a few.

A few?

I think there was one in Chocolat, she was in some other stuff (like the remake of Sabrina). She was really hot, I just can't remember her name for the life of me. Does anyone know who I'm talking about?

Also, don't quote me on this but she may have been in The English Patient.....:D

I got nothin'

Something about Three Colours, a series of films which were arranged in Blue, White, and Red, but I'll be damned if I can remember who she was

Hey Diggy, can you help us out here?

errm, he probably can't help us out on that last one, can he?

Could be Guilett something.

I think I found her, Trev...

Or is she the one you meant?

Or maybe it's her?

I sure wish Diggy could help us out on this one...
