Perhaps this is a more typical Frenchman, Citoyenne:Euh... the unpleasant description of the Frenchman above. I can't look at it again, it is too painful.

I probrably have a warmer feelign for the french than most americans, but let me tell you this little story - a few years ago I rode for a week with a french sales manager who sold my products. 5 working days. his wardrobe for this was 2 shirts, 1 pair of pants and 2 jackets. he smoked heavily and we ate very well during this week. I honestly don't believe that he took a shower during this week. he was a great guy, and he was good at what he did, and he treated me nicly, but I was happy to get some fresh air by the end of the week. and this was a well educated, upper middle class frenchman.Euh... the unpleasant description of the Frenchman above. Â I can't look at it again, it is too painful.

Nelson was an example to all true Englishmen (as was Wellington), and is celebrated annually in RN Wardrooms on Trafalgar Night, the most important function of the year. The room is hung with French tricolours, representing the colours struck by the French admirals when they surrendered. A speech is given to the Immortal Memory of Nelson. I have been to a few, and they are superb occasions.I thought Nelson didn't need a boatcloak since he kept warm with his zeal for king and country...
One side of my family is descended from the Normans who invaded in 1066, which was the last time Britain was invaded. I think we made up for losing later - several times, in fact, though we are all in the EU now and apparently friends.But really, ViroBono, aren't you pleased you guys lost the battle of Hastings? Your dictionary would be about half the size it is now, if you hadn't.
Not a military band, but a wonderful perfomrance of this grand march. In the box entitled "Shop Our Catalog", type in the number, 2701682.  The Gannes march can be found in the the 3 CD box set. Marche Lorraine If I could find a downloadable MP3 of the Marche Lorraine played by a military band I'd like it more - I've got a few bits of French military music but I've been after this track for ages.
