It's no secret that I don't care too much for the French. I'm sure that the Frogs could care even less about my opinion of them. But there are a couple of things French I do like; they have a great national anthem and some beautiful mature women such as Catherine Deneuve, Sophie Marceau, and my favourite, the singer, Mireille Mathieu.

I almost forgot to mention our latest submarine being built is to be named HMS Agincourt, after the old battle of that name during the 100 Years War. Give it a Google and you will see why they won't be too happy about that decision. Seriously outnumbered, they destroyed the cream of French nobility with the use of the legendary longbow, giving rise to the English archers famous two-fingered salute to their enemy. Here are two tracks from Mireille in French (what else did you expect?) but always a great songstress.

I, too, don't care much for the frogs (especially arrogant Parisians).
BUT...Mireille is/was a pretty lady with a great voice.
Catherine Deneuve was gorgeous (Google Indochine, 1992).
Regardless, French is a softly beautiful and sexy language.
