I decided I needed a bit of a change so I roasted some Monsooned Malabar. That was a change!

Swapping extreme insults with Australians is an accepted friendy social passtime. Why can't we insult those frog chewing, unwashed continentals, without unfair retaliation about our almost non existant pecadilloes?

I hope we can all take this thread in the lighthearted spirit that is intended. I must say that I do not find this Monty Python report on the situation to be very realistic.

I have had the pleasure of living and working in France for two years and I have the greatest respect for the people and their way of life. In my experience, however, I think that suggesting the French would throw good food at their enemies, even in a last ditch attempt to survive, without fully digesting it first, is ridiculous. It is about as convincing as suggesting the Scottish, in similar circumstances, would throw money at their enemies. :roll: :D
