Something French I Actually Like
I hate to say it, but it really is true. Nobody likes the French. It's very prejudiced of me, but there is something about the French that I, like almost every other Englishman I know, dislike.
Any stories you hear about France or the French just seems to reinforce that stereotype too, something which dates back hundred of years to, funnily enough, the Hundred Years War between the two countries. All my own personal experiences seem to echo my views too, that the French are inherently stuck up and rude. And probably lazy too, but that doesn't really bother me.
Any personal experiences I can think of the French are negative ones, like the time we were stood in a queue at Universal Studios. Three people push in front of me, and low and behold, they're French. So. Rude.
I'm sure there are lots of French things I like, bread, pastries and all that kind of stuff, but I feel like it's nothing that can't be made elsewhere. There might be lots of great things in France, and lots of nice people: maybe someone should pay for me to travel around there to test out my theories.
But as it stands, the best and only good thing to come out of France is the band Phoenix. I love their funky rock sounds, and their last album - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoneix was amazing. Just the thing you need to cheer you up or get you pumped. Here's their new single, Entertainment. Let me know what you think!
