Do you fixate on the Polish, German, Turkish, French, Russian, Dutch etc etc etc thugs as well?? Or just English?? Is it just the English you despise?? Of course there are a cell of morons at every club. But it’s not exclusively an English problem.
Well, you just lost your money then… Here’s a little quizz: why do the English speaking folks say (and write) « Agincourt », when the actual place where this battle happened is called « Azincourt »?
Cos if yam common yo cor pronounce the Frenchie words so it got translated into it’s anglicised version just for the simple folk?
Yep, butchering thousands with blades, maces, spears and arrows must be a hell of a sight… Story has it (dunno if that’s actually true, though), that « Agincourt » is how Henry V pronounced the word « Azincourt », due to a scar left by a pretty bad wound received to the face during the battle of Shrewbury (1403, when he was 16 and Prince of Wales, then).
All English foot soldiers and archers would carry what’s best described as a knitting needle. A thin sharpened sliver of steel about 12” long. Any felled or incapacitated horseman they encountered from the enemy would be dealt with by inserting said knitting needle through the eye slits in on their helmets…. Yuck
I don’t like Brazil. Cheating twats. They seem to have a sense of entitlement and always think they have one hand on the trophy from the first kick off. Loved it when Germany twatted them 7-1 In their own back yard!!
They know they are good. First half was a walk in the park. Argentina look better. Maybe they can win, with a hand ball…. Any team except Portugal with that smug twat Ronaldo for the win..
Christiano Ronaldo’s absolute lack of humility has become truly embarrassing. For his team, his country and himself… Remember that? I think it came out the following day or so…
Argentina look better than Brazil this year???? I’m not sure you’ll get many takers for that opinion!
I always thought it was called a Bollock Dagger. It was used to pierce under the jaw and to be thrust into the Brain to dispatch fallen Knights who had trouble getting up after falling off thier horses. hence the expression, give him a bollocking. Anyway, Lancastrian War crimes aside, if you really want to upset the French, make a joke about Jean D'Arc...
I find it a lot easier to piss off the English, when it comes Jeanne d’Arc (« Jean » is used for men, in French). After all, she was a 14 year old girl who « bollocked » the English out of Orléans, wasn’t she?
