An awfully strange
bit of news. Apparently, on September 10, 1956, French Prime Minister Guy Mollet came to London to discuss the possibility of a merger between the two countries with Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden, even vetting the idea that Queen Elizabeth might become the French monarch. When that didn't work, Mollet brought up the notion of joining the Commonwealth. Although Mr. Eden was a little more inclined to this idea, nothing ever came of it either.
Its interesting to imagine how things might have turned out.
On the upside, "Fritain" could field a great World Cup squad. But on the downside, Conservatives wouldn't have France around to hate anymore. Who would replace them? Well, the Italians have surrendered
alot in the past 100 years
. There's an old WWII joke to the effect that Italian tanks had back-up lights. But "pasta eating surrender monkeys" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

England could never accept surrender by the French.
They need that buffer zone to soak up the German Army so it isn't strong enough when it gets to the coast to attack England.
If France surrenders to the Brits before the Germans attack, they would have to defend France.
Of course I am sure Citoyen Dion would answer the call for French cannon fodder, he says he is very proud of his french citizenship.
Well, that was pretty amusing..."Fritain." Too bad a wingnut dorkazoid had to come by and ruin it with some long-winded unfunny comment.
Interesting. The French tried to surrender when they weren't even at war. Of course, if you take the time to read the article, it was mainly because they were broke and (typically) trying to get cash out of the English. How well we in Canada know that story . . .
When has France ever tried to get money out of Canada?
I think you need to stop taking so many stupid lesson, Rat.
lessons, tg, lessonssss
You're typing makes you sound like a french guy, or at least a french-CANADIAN.
(I find myself thinking I need to explain that one to you, tg, because you seem to miss so many elementary jokes. First, I made fun of your spelling error because you missed the plural form, something many french people do, and then I capitalized Canadian so you'd see my original reference was to the french-canadians which we in Canada have so much experience with. There, now I can go to sleep knowing you finally got one. I hope you had a good laugh.)
I don't miss your jokes because they're aren't any. You're just really dumb with a lot of attitude. For example, this...
First, I made fun of your spelling error because you missed the plural form, something many french people do...
...is really stupid. Francophones drop "s's" when speaking because plurality is not indicated in the spoken language with the presence of a pronounced "s" at the end of the noun (it's actually mostly marked by the determiners "les, des, aux, etc." which are pronounced distinct from their singular forms and indicate that the nouns they modify are plural). That's why an anglophone will emphasise the final "s" when clearing up confusion between singular and plural (I said boyS not boy, whereas a francophone does the same thing by emphasising the determiner (J'ai dit DES hommes). Isn't that interesting?
However, francophones write plural endings on nouns, so really, you're just...
...and I'm bored. Whatever else you wrote was probably very dull anyway.
But tg, dull would have been right up you alley. You might even have understood it. By the way, nice to see you got your high school french teacher to write a paragraph for you, or did you just copy that from your grade 10 text?
