Not for me

Well I for one will defend the French.

I met a lot more tossers  when I lived in the UK.

Beer made by monks they know thier stuff alright
@lil4399 there are dickheads everywhere but I'm sorry I'm not keen on France at all .
Maybe because I speak a bit of German and a very little Dutch.

Apart from a couple of "minor spats" in the 20th century,    the French and Germans get on really well. Even more so now the Brits are leaving the party.

Here we go.....

Oh did I miss something

[Kiwifruit]

I'm in. Didn't a boat blow up in Auckland Harbour a few years back........

That's true Col!     something about rainbows and warriors if I recall correctly...
Something in the press about admitting to torturing folk recently.... and given their history with a guillotine... well.. nuff said!

A misjudgement I think.

Apparently the French soldiers were just visiting Aukland because they heard it had a beautiful harbour.

Hang on, Austria, that rings a bell, now if I can only remember who it was came from there.... 

[ARH]

Might live in Austria... but I'm Scottish and proud of it 

Austrians seem to do a good job of 'avoiding' responsibility for many things... usually under the banner of neutrality...

@lil4399 ... similar to those Russian bods who liked Salisbury cathedral?

Actually it's a little bit worse than just that.
The French Govt used state sponsored terrorists to destroy the rainbow warrior, killing the photographer they didn't realise was on board. Then when those terrorists were captured, the French Govt then threatened to collapse the New Zealand economy if those terrorists weren't returned to France for sham trial and an Island Holiday.
Because of those actions I do not concern myself when I hear of terrorist acts committed in France, it's just a case of what goes around comes around.

As for the Topic matter I have no issues with a side car and trailer, although I don't like riding side cars but I have my eye on a Canam or similar for the future. Hardcore Motorcyclists don't sell their souls by getting a car licence and scurrying to their trolleys whenever someone turns a sprinkler on. I'd rather ride in the wet than be a Cage-dweller.

This is why I try to avoid holidays nowadays, wrong place & wrong time and you get the blame for anything. Look what happened to Sadam Hussain after a stag weekend with the boys in Kuwait.....
