What - being sent to Edmonton isn't good enough for you? :mad:

Yes, if you call between 9h-17h Monday to Friday and ask Brigitte for all your emergency need, you will have French support with limited knowledge of the St-Lawrence.  It ain't no french at all, ergo we are liars.

I think Berkut never got around the fact that didn't follow the US in the Irak war and he since hates all French speakers.  That or he's just a moron unable to read by himself unless it's spoonfed.

Say, if it ain't a problem to transfer the Marine rescue sub-center to Halifax, why not move the Halifax center to Quebec city?  Oh no wait, that's not the same...

What about me?  I wasn't keen on the Iraq war at all.  I don't feel any need to make immigrants speak English.  If 10,000 Mongolians want to move to mid Missouri, start their own town and create Mongolian language newspapers and do their own thing, that's fine.  It's a free country, they can do what they want.  So long as they don't form a horde and start pillaging the surrounding area.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I wasn't keen on the Iraq war either.

Heh, I hate business travel. I always think I will have time to see the local sights and activities and it always turns out all I see is the inside of a boardroom.

Why, if I was sent to Edmonton on business, I bet I would not even have time to survey the local tundra, or take in even one francophone lynching.  :(

I live in a different world than Viper's.  I use english, both spoken & written, everyday and not just to argue with Yanks on the internet. It's not just a zeitgeist for me like it seems to be for him and Grallon.


No wonder you advocate loose rules when writing in french - you're already halfway through assimilation.  <_<

I was in Paris on business two weeks ago. I made sure to order a burger with fries at a restaurant.

Well short of the tundra, and no francophones to lynch.  :(

Nay, good sir.

That being said, I ate french fries with mayo a lot when I lived in Brussels - they make for a good side dish with moules and the heavy dark Belgian beer.

Bah, just another idiot tourist getting overcharged. Probably paid by the company. Move along.

While Marty may not care much about being overcharged, I'm sure he can read the prices on the menu.

You and viper spouting insults without provocation is actually quite funny.
