I'll have a shoe with cheese on it, force it down my throat, and I'd like to massage your grandmother.

The problem with TTLG is that it's full of English ! :p
Yep, actually, why should we adapt to you, English people ? I swear, you should translate the entire forum in french, then learn it while doing this ? Good deal, uh ? :cheeky:
Sérieusement, PigLick, don't worry about the difference between the years of training and your actual knowledge of French, I'm personally doing English for 6 years (and been to England 13 times), this doesn't keep me from doing a plenty of mistakes, even in written language (you can judge by yourself in my posts...). ;)

I passed once through France, passing by the coast by car.
People seemed to be quite amicable and friendly.
So apart from the typical jokes and stereotypes, I don't know what they really find negative about them, and no they didn't smell bad.

No, we don't smell bad ! :p
A week ago, I went on the site of an American travel agency, on one on my friend's advice. I understood quite fast what he intended me to see : captions about trips to france were saying : "we guarantee safe railway transport to our customers, and assure there will be no goats or pigs in the cabin".
So, I want to tell everybody here : France, it is basically like England or Germany : it's America with less skyscrapers and narrower roads. And no, we're not used to walking around with a beret, the French baguette under the harm. :p

Dogs, though, frikken' dogs everywhere! Half of Paris seems to have 'em. Saw a guy yesterday with a dog the size of a small horse. Never understood why anyone would want to have a pet like that in a large city...
Also, fun fact for the day:
The German word
Pariser is both the word for "A person/ thing from Paris" and "A condom". So there.

When conversing in French, it is unsurprisingly important to remember the significant differences between "beaucoup" and "beau cul."
I did not remember these differences. It was rather embarrassing.
