Couldn't really care less that we won it, but I'm really glad the French lost it!

Lets face it, the French are just a nation of LOSERS.

If I had not had me two fingers chopped off at Agincourt they would be up in the air.

Well done roast beef and cornish pasties all round

Condolences to the gallant losers oh and the French

Just remember the old saying:

Um, aren't we red?
from an earlier topic:
"I draw your attention to the facts that we did NOT fight the French at the Battle of Trafalgar but the "Reds" (not sure how the old Warsaw Pact countries will take to that, they too may get upset) at "an early 19th-century sea battle”. "

So I assumed that we are 'Blue'

Does it really matter what colour we are, as the garlic munching, Frogs legs chewing, snail eating, battle losing Frenchies LOST AGAIN.?

I have found a few French Victories:

1958, 1960, 1962, 1969 & 1977.

But the Eurovision Song Contest was never a great thing to shout about!.

I think I'll celebrate tonight with the time honoured pie and mushy peas washed down with lashings of Guiness. The only down side is that Bliar and his cronies, in their usual opportunistic way, will exploit political gain from this great news.

Up yours Chirac.......

Famous quotes of our time.

Chirac said during the city's final presentation to the IOC. "You can put your trust and faith in France, you can trust the French, you can trust us."

I guess even the Reds realise what's in store for them, they're wazzing over the capital like it's opening day! Suppose they think it's best to get in the flypasts now before they go for good....

I think Chirac is a complete star!

Let's see - the IOC vote was 54 for UK against 50 for France. So that means that only 2 members of the IOC could have reversed the outcome.

There are 2 Finnish members of the IOC.

"The only thing that they [the British] have ever done for European agriculture is ‘mad cow’ disease. You cannot trust people who have such bad cuisine. It is the country with the worst food after Finland." M Chirac
