Actually, that won’t be any contest.. it’s in France!
lol! They look kinda tired anyway…
Which reminds me of the joke, how do the French defend Paris? Nobody knows, it’s never been done!
Too bad Napoleon ain’t there.
ok, defending aside, the French have been quite good at invading…
..Girl Scout camps, but even then it was a very close battle.
They did invade Britain and change the English language forever….
Normandy was an area that the French had given to the Vikings. (To simplify history a ton).
On the other hand, they did manage to last over 100 years in the Hundred Years War. It was even a defensive war for them.
Maybe that’s what put them off war period. “A war? It could last a hundred years again! Men! Turn, bend, and grab ankles! ANything to avoid another one!”
Yet somehow, Napoleon got them into another war roughly 200 years ago.
Will those Frenchmen never learn?
in bed.
Really? He probably smells a bit by now…
Never mind the smell…just prop him up somewhere and the very sight of his rotting corpse coming back for blood will send them running…
I still think they got a bad rap on this one. Here they spend 20 years investing and fortifying the Maginot line to keep the Germans out, and the Germans do what has never been done before in history: invade a neighboring nation and conquer in a matter of weeks. Then they step in behind the Maginot and catch the French with their pants down. Really, it could have happened to anyone!
reminds me of the other joke.. for sale, one French rifle from World War II – never used.
dropped only once….
Also French tank for sale- cannon never fired, has one forward gear, five reverse gears…..
Rofl, never been done before in history? It’s been done hundreds of times, including WWI. In WWI, the Germans invaded neutral Belgium to get to France. After winning the war, France invested 20 years building up massive fortifications along the France-Germany border and did almost nothing along the France-Belgium border. I guess they figured that Germany would never use a successful tactic twice? Please don’t defend France. Their defensive strategy is the most perfect example of the adage “those who don’t learn from their past are doomed to repeat it”.
Actually, the french made a treaty with Belgium, but the belgians didn’t follow up on their part of the construction. May have had something to do with the fact that that part of their country was riddled with mines, trenches and debris, but the french are not to blame for failing to extend the Maginot line.
Meh, monsieur, but after all, there was an Investigation!
When it became clear that Belgium were not going to just sit there and be a buffer for France, the French did attempt to extend the line.
The only problem was that they weren’t willing to pay full price to do it. Bunkers and guns were further apart, concrete was thinner, there were less people manning it. It just wasn’t as good as the original.
The Maginot line was suppose to be a speed bump so the French army could have time to organizes a counter attack but the politicians decided the line would do and downsized the army.
But the line at full strength would have actually been able to hold back the Germans for many months had they not been able to just go round, and indeed they did hold back the Germans along almost its entire length (there was one breakage in the south, but this was after they had breached the weak version of the line in the north).
Yes, but the line as first planed was not to be that strong.
I’ll just trust that we both know what we are talking about, and just want to see how far this discussion goes.
OK
They didn’t do it in a matter of six weeks. Never happened before the third reich did it.
Cool helmets.
Have you seen my helmet?
It looks like Alan Titchmarsh really misunderstood the concept of “Ground Force”.
Has someone been watching Spaced?
This would be funnier if it didnt tick me off that people dont seem to be able to get it through their heads that Russia RETALIATED, not ‘invaded’. Retaliated with extreme prejudice, but retaliated nevertheless. “Invaded” makes it seem like they blasted in there for no good reason… kinda like Iraq.
Understanding of Political Science FAIL.
“RETALIATED” the Russians pushed the Georgians it to doing something by inciting south Ossetian rebels, so they could say we retaliated.
“RETALIATED” the Russians pushed the Georgians it to doing something by inciting south Ossetian rebels, so they could say we retaliated.
Comprehensibility FAIL.
It should be in
What are you talking about? Who was supposed to say “we” retaliated? For what?
I was part of this War we retaliated because georgian rebels in the caucasus mountains attacked russian bases also in the caucasus mountains we captured one and found out that they were recruiting and operating out of South Ossetia.
Parroting American mainstream media, ur doin it rite.

This reminds me of the French Knights scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail…
Now that you mention it, you would be correct. “Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberry.”
“To be fair, DWM was not having the best day. He woke up and immediately couldn’t find his slippers. ‘Lynne!’ he called, trying to get his eyes to work. ‘Lynne, have you seen my slippers?’ He pried his eyes open and tried to look around the room, which was blue and white. Blue and white? He blinked and looked around again. ‘Wait a second,’ he thought, ‘my room isnt’ blue and white.’ He closed his eyes again and tried to unscramble his thoughts. He looked around again. ‘Ok,’ he said, ‘where am I and why do I have this whip in my hand?’

The adventures I have…
“Suddenly, there was a shimmer in the air, and four beautiful goddesses appeared out of nowhere. Two of them were wearing blue gossamer gowns, the other two in red gossamer. All of them were carrying rope. ‘I am the Goddess Froofrou,’ said the first. ‘And with me are my sisters, Guinny, Ema, and Minerva. We are here to guide you……….in bed.’”
*dies laughing*
*composes self and tries to appear goddess-like*
Go on, FrooFrou! I’m loving this!
“‘Dammit,’ DWM thought to himself. ‘I knew I should have left that window closed. This is the last time I mix pootbeer and fig newtons.’
He crawled his way out of bed, whip in hand, and surveyed the goddesses in front of him.
‘Ladies, what’s going on? And why is that one going through my underwear drawer?’
Froofroo looked over and snapped ‘Guinny! I told you about that!’
Guinny looked up guiltily, a thong in her hand. ‘But I like his underwear!’
Ema looked at her sternly. ‘We have a job to do here, and it doesn’t involve underwear.’ She paused. ‘Ok, maybe it does, but not right now!’
And I *would* be the stern one too!
… “that one”
*looks glumly at underwear drawer* So, what’s the plan?
“Minerva looked at the other three goddesses and sighed. ‘I’m surrounded by horntoads,’ she muttered as she started digging through her purse. ‘Ah, here it is!’ she crowed, bringing forth an object that shone with an internal light. It was making a weird vibrating noise that caused DWM to try to get a closer look. Minerva flushed a little and switched off the light, which caused the vibration to cease. ‘Now hear this!’ she said, her voice raising a little. ‘We come here with a plan. A Great Plan. A Holy Plan. A…’
‘Just get on with it! I want to see his underwear!’ Guinny took the object from Minerva and held it in front of DWM. ‘Do you know what this is?’”
I have no idea where to go with this, LOL. Anyone want to help?
I was really enjoying it, you a writer by chance? You have quite an imagination!
I am, and I just came off the high you get from reading The Hitchhikers Guide To THe Galaxy from cover to cover, all six books
I’ll see what I can add to this 
I really need to take the time and read that someday…
You really do. HGTTG is the awesomest series EVER. “The fourth book in a series that gives the word ‘trilogy’ a whole new meaning.’ or something like that *snort* Douglas Adams is made of so much WIN!
Have you read Pratchett and Gaiman’s Good Omens?
My sister got me the entire series in one volume for Christmas one year. She’s teh awesome
My favorite quote from the first book is still “‘Ford!’ he said, ‘there’s an infinite number of monkeys outside who want to talk to us about this script for Hamlet they’ve worked out.’”
LOL yes. On of my favorites is actually on the first page, “Many were increasingly of the opinion that they’d all made a big mistake in coming down from
the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans.”
Just the image it evokes is sooo funny. To me, anyway. And also, the titles of the other books, like The Salmon Of Doubt and So Long And Thanks For All The Fish!
No, I’ve never even heard of that one! I’m not much of a fiction reader, but I admit I probably am missing a lot.
Salmon of Doubt? You must have a different one than I do because the titles I have are HGTTG, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, Life, the Universe, and Everything, So Long, and Thanks for All The Fish, Young Zaphod Plays It Safe, and Mostly Harmless.
And I also like “‘Oh dear, says God, ‘I hadn’t thought of that,’ and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.”
Yeah, The Salmon Of Doubt is one of Douglas Adam’s other books… also ridiculously funny. The others are (as far as I know): The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy, Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency,
The Long Tea-Time Of The Soul, and then a couple of joint efforts with other writers.
Have you read Good Omens, FrooFrou?
I LOVE Good Omens, but then again, pretty much anything by Neil Gaimen rocks.
I have not, but on such good reccomendation I shall have to
One day I hope to have the time to read again, *sigh* The titles themselves sound so imaginitive.
The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide is what I have. And am reading through for the second time in as many weeks
Ema, I have a unique opportunity to read at work, as I am nursing an infant and get 20-30 minutes every four hours to to into my little closet and pump. I wish everybody had that chance……….to get away from work, not necessarily to pump 
The Salmon of Doubt was the one he didn’t finish writing before he kicked the bucket. Apparently it includes a slightly modified version of ‘Young Zaphod Plays It Safe’ as well.
.
I’m hoping for more movies.
The movie didn’t do that well, I heard. I don’t think they are planning any follow ups. The late addition of the “point-of-view gun” was priceless.
I still have to read “Salmon” .
I loved books 1 to 3, best thing since sliced bread.
4 was quite funny but I thought 5 was crap.
(How cheap was cutting out Fenchurch?)
I wish Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams had written together, that would be amazing.
Yay, that’s a great book I’ve read several times. Why am I always late for these discussions.
“The Salmon of Doubt” is a posthumous collection of writings culled from DA’s Mac. It includes part of a novel, at least one excellent short story, and random musings. The editing was done by a close acquaintance and perfectly preserves Adams’ spirit. It is not connected with the “increasingly-inappropriately named trilogy” in any way.
It is connected. In one of Adams’ last interviews, he said that he was writing a Dirk Gently book but realised that the story made more sense as a Hitchhiker’s Guide book.
.
Also, on the first print run of the original Hitchhiker’s Guide book, it said on the back (or was it the front…), “from the author who brought you The Salmon of Doubt”.
Or at least something like that, I can’t find evidence of it on the internet.
*cracks knuckles*
DWM looked at the glowy thing. ‘A vibrator?’ Ema smacked him, a resounding slap that reverberated through the room. DWM looked at her with newfound respect and a little awe. ‘Not a vibrator, then.’
‘No,’ replied FrooFrou. ‘This is a light saber,’ Minerva intoned solemnly.
‘It most definitely is not,’ Guinny protested, then shut her mouth with an audible snap as her three goddess colleagues glared at her. ‘I have a healthy curiosity,’ Guinny covered lamely. ‘I’m not a sci-fi geek. Honest.’
‘Anyway,” Ema resumed. ‘This is a glowy thing, and it is significant of something. Where is your rope?’
DWM glanced around and then a big smile lit up his face. ‘Under the bed. Looks like one of you ladies has to crawl down there to get it.’
The four goddesses looked at one another. ‘Ema?’ FrooFrou tried.
LOL!! “This is a glowy thing”, I definetly would say that!
You guys are great!
My interest is piqued… I eagerly await to see where this is going….
eagerly.
Is it me or does the soldier on the left look like Alan Titmarsh?
Wasn’t Georgia part of NATO during that whole conflict?
