tu est jaloux, anglais, parce que ta nourritoure est degoutante.

that's definately true. i was at a multimedia lydia lunch show and about 40-50 old men were sitting at the back of the club wearing complete black/beatnik wear and swilling red wine.
i was talking to a couple of them and found out that most of them were ex-pats who had arrived from america in the 60s after spending the late 1950s around the beats.
a very interesting and amazing place.
where else in the world will you find octogenerian lydia lunch fans but paris.

It's a relic.

Europe has a history for cities thinking that they are all that. The only appealing place that I haven't been to is Berlin, and the Germans seem more focused and less up their own arse than anyone. From England to Italy.

Barcelona too.

[demonrail666]

Berlin and Barcelona are both great cities. Largely because (unlike Paris) they move on.

Well, you're not that clever, but you still go on about being French all the time. Bertrand or Torn Curtain are both much more interesting posters than you are, and they they don't go on about their being French as much as you do. That's enough proof that intelligence doesn't reign supreme in France either. And I'm Italian. Take that.

[demonrail666]

I commend !"£$% on having a better command of French than myself, but ask him only to recognise ythat the relationship between England and France is one of quite unique hostility. If you like Paris, I envy you more than disagree, because it will always be a Paris closed off to the English.

sorry man not trying to rub it in. i was treated like shit in paris for the first 3 days of my stay because i tried to address people in english. however, after a few drinks my french came back and people were SO nice it was awesome.

Parisiennes don't take any shit like Londoners do, and that's why I love them.
