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!

I really hope you're just trying to wind me up Wholley, since when has Scotland been part of Canada?
You been on that strong American beer again?

Is the english beer have always this effects? It's maybe because there are no foam upon your beer unlike the french and belgian ones...
