08:40 - Les Grenouilles Contre Les Rosbifs

Olympics 2012 in London! Paris was sure they would win it, having even staged a preliminary fake Olympics on the Champs Elysées complete with race track and swimming pool. Here are the voting results:

LES RESULTATS
Le premier tour [first round] :
Londres : 22 voix
Madrid : 20
Moscou : 15
New York : 19
Paris : 21

Le deuxième tour [second round] :
Londres : 27
Madrid : 32
New York : 16
Paris : 25

Le troisième tour :
Londres : 39
Madrid : 31
Paris : 33

Le quatrième tour :
Londres : 54
Paris : 50

Only 4 votes! That was close. The Frenchies are none too pleased. Rno says:

les Rosbifs nous ont eu... Decidement il a le vent en poupe le p'tit Blair!!!

[The English got us… the little Blair decidedly has the wind at his back]

You know how the English call the French frogs (grenouilles)? Well the French call the English les Rosbifs, or the roast beefs [added: beeves?].

And Caro just fucking hates the English:

Connards d'anglais,ils nous feront chier jusqu'au bout!!!!!

[French is so funny directly translated. This sentence would be “Idiots of English, they will make us shit until the end (of time)!!!!”]

Boutons les saxons.....!

[This phrase came from the Middle Ages, like Jeanne d’Arc time, when the French were kicking the English out, means “Let’s kick out the Saxons”]

Did I translate ok Rno?
So I guess that Paris 2012 t-shirt we bought is now worth something. I'm going to burn an image of Jesus into the sleeve and sell it on Ebay.

UPDATE: ha.
