Bonjour tout le monde!

My name is Nicolas, i am 14 , come from Paris and live in Bordeaux! I'm a great fan of the english culture, the scottish one too, Top Gear, the beatles ... and my elder brother works as a would be "trader" between La défense in paris and canary wharf in london for a big french company... ANYWAY! my english isn't good i'm here for improve it! I know that there are an old quarrel between french and english but i'm pro european (my girlfriend comes from germany ,) , we should be all together for being able to not be crushed between the chinese and american slabs... (it was certainly bad said but i hope that you understood me ^^' ) . Regarding to the armies, nevertheless I've got a quite important knowledge on the topic,my father is officer in the french army , one of my brothers is going to become a jetfighter pilot and my grand father was paratrooper during the indochina war and died in 53 ='(, in brief i'll not bore you talking about defence.


Best regards!

Nico

(sorry for my en)

God save the queen and vive la france!
