:142smilie
Good catch, doggie. I was off by a few doors. Here's the bistro, Cafe Du Marche, within spitting distance of the flower shop - check it out on Google earth.
and, to prove it's the right place, here's my SO having a drink there a few years ago -
Mags would have found it, but since he isn't going to show anyway...:shrug:
What would you know about the toughness of the BEST UNCONVENTIONAL WARRIORS IN THE WORLD !
Wait, I will answer that for you, NOTHING except you want to wear a Beret as a fashion statement. As usual you are kissing ass to a Nation who has spent it's time in war with their hands up in the air.
What's the French motto?
I GIVE UP , exactly !
What do I know a bout the frogs and combat?
Well, far more than you.
And as usual, you are full of shit.
During WWI, 1,400,000 French were KIA against the Germans, 4.29% of their population.
We lost 116,000, 0.13% of our population.
During WWII the French took 217,000 casualties, 1.35% of their total population killed fighting the Germans.
We lost 416,000, 0.32% of our population.
The French lost 90,000 in Viet Nam. We lost 58,000.
Did the Germans have a great fighting army in WWI and WWII? Yes. Did the French fight like Hell against them? Yes. Did we have overwhelming military and industrial power which allowed us to turn the tide in both WWs? Yes.
And, you will recall, without the French we would not have won the Revolutionary War. Why do you think there are so many streets, towns and counties named Lafayette in the USA?
Did I say anything derogatory about the US military? No.
What I did say is that the French Military and Gendarmes you encounter on the street take no shit. I hope you have the opportunity to visit France. You can walk up to one them and tell him your joke about French military rifles. You know, the same joke you Bubbas yuk up after a few beers.
You asked about the French motto? Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. Your problem with that is....?
And the USA motto is......?

It looks like Paris agrees with Ann, Duff.and, to prove it's the right place, here's my SO having a drink there a few years ago -
I wish you both safe travels and great weather. :toast:
The same goes for Mags and his family.
Thanks guys.
I'll admit - I'm a bit concerned now. The AP is reporting that the defense department will be issuing a travel warning tomorrow, telling Americans to stay away from any public areas in Europe due to Al-quida (sp).....
Thoughts?
Watch out you don't get run over by a bus.Get it?
Have a good time and don't worry about it.
Rusty - I think it is a bit more serious than that. Think about the shootings in India about a year ago at the Marriot - that is what is being projected to occur.
And, no, we are not staying at any "American style" hotels...
I think you're a pussy.
Good to know. I wouldn't have expected anything else from you.
Which is why I won't bring the family arouind you - too much chance of your language in person being similiiar to what you put out every day on this board....
My kids don't need to hear you say that kinda stuff, which you tend to do in almost every post on this board.
Not a big fan of vulgarity, sorry. No worries, some of us were brought up differently, I understand that.

damn
what a total jerkoff neocon of the nth power
Be sure to tell those Frenchies what a bunch of bed-wetting cowardly commie-pinko socialists they are, Gordon Gekko wannabe.
Just get her email address Duff and I'll share "The allure of the Trench" with her... :142smilieThanks Trench. I'll bring you something back -
Would this do - ?
A severe threat level means an attack is considered highly likely; critical means an attack is expected imminently.
A possible backlash from the French burqa ban is considered a factor in the expected warning, the security source said. The French Senate recently approved a law banning veils that cover the face, including the burqa, worn by some Muslim women.
:SIB
Mumbai, the financial hub of India, was the site of a three-day terror attack two years ago that left more than 160 people dead.
Ten men launched the carefully planned assault, targeting prominent sites such as the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower hotel, the Oberoi-Trident hotels, the historic Victoria Terminus train station and a Jewish cultural center.
A U.S. law enforcement official told CNN Saturday that an advisory will likely be sent to law enforcement agencies around the United States after the travel alert is issued, "just to keep them in the loop."
But the official added that current intelligence is about Europe rather than a threat in the United States.

Maybe i'm not following this whole discussion. I know you like to think you are a master of the English language, so I thought I would run this by you. You asked Duff to meet you. You already knew what he was like. He offered to pay and then you come up with some BS excuse to back out AND insult him at the same time. Why am I not surprised? :toast: :mj07:
