Anglo-French Relations

[dizzojay]

In the wake of the terrorist atrocity in Paris, I found this cute and hilarious article today that perfectly sums up the relationship between Britain and France.

It likens us to two squabbling siblings who take great delight in tormenting each other, but woebetide anyone else who tries to hurt one of us ...

Remind you of anyone ...?

The article made me smile while the gif made me chuckle. Now I want to see England and France in a prank off. *shakes head*

I understand the sibling rivalries like this, we have a lot of those kinds of things from state to state. I think a lot of Oregonians feel that way about Californians.

But that gif, that is so stinking cute. It just cracks me up to no end. I would have loved to see some outtakes of that scene.

Isn't it strange how that goes - you often seem to get it in towns/countries that are close together.

it is interesting how towns/countries close together in proximity can have this rivalry. I think it even exists a little between east coast and west coast of this country. It's everywhere.

Oh yes, Britain and France are just like typical siblings! I'm not going to say which is Dean and which is Sam! A real love-hate relationship but right now it's good to see all the love going their way.

Absolutely. All the teasing in the world wouldn't take away the fact that we'll support them to the hilt in this horrible situation.

Very true, the amount of support has restored my hope for the world.
