Merry Agincourt Day .. October 25th
Barnier claims that the 'British' voted for Brexit out of nostalgia for our glorious past. Well here's a good example of REAL nostalgia when the French, as usual, took a hell of a beating ((:>)

From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

The French obviously didn't take on board the lessons from the Battle of Crecy. They carried on underestimating us right up until Waterloo!1

I know we're not meant to mention it but our French overloads lost the war to their French overloads so all this talk of The "French, as usual, took a hell of a beating ((:>)" is laughable and not historically accurate.masicat said:

your po-faced comment is most unwelcome in this context .. read the post title .. Agincourt, NOT the 100 Years War .. and of course later we had to bale out our French 'allies' in two 'world wars' and now we find the French willingly subservient to the Germans in the European Union, a k a the German Empire4 -
So much wrong and so much laughable about that statement but the cheap insult to the French army of WW1, nearly 100 years on from their victory, alongside the British, Americans, Canadians, ANZACs, Indians and others of course, when they provided the bulk of the troops on the Western front for four years is staggering even for you, Dracula.4

Blimey, glad nobody mentioned the anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar four days ago!!!4

Dracula ? .. stop pinching my lines, that's my name for you .. it was Bram Stoker who based his eponymous protagonist on his 'friend' the ham actor Henry Irving born Henry Brodribb .. so from now on you're Brodribb, the Bromley Bullshitter ..Henry Irving said:So much wrong and so much laughable about that statement but the cheap insult to the French army of WW1, nearly 100 years on from their victory, alongside the British, Americans, Canadians, ANZACs, Indians and others of course, when they provided the bulk of the troops on the Western front for four years is staggering even for you, Dracula.

Prime Minister is good but not quite Emperor.
Just as well we had the Prussians on our side at Waterloo really. Funny how facts like that haven't reached the north.0 -

Brobribb is getting over excited, he'll be out for blood soon .. I'll just stick to Agincourt before we get the entire history of English/French conflict from Hastings (all right, won by Vikings living in France) to Brexit0
