France Lost!

February 23rd, 2008 · 4 Comments

There’s a very definite part of me that thinks that this is the important news.

"England wins" is good, admirable, enjoyable. Hard work, done well.

"France loses" is simply delightful.

Europe, eh?

    I bet on France. On the basis if we win, I lose. If I lose, we win. I think it’s called hedging.

    For me “Australia loses” trumps “France loses” but I don’t understand why.

    Cos it’s rarer, Kit.

    Personally I think it all boils down to what France actually loses. Some examples:

    France loses war: Oh no, not again…
    France loses knickers: That would be Edith…
    France loses Algeria: Fish loses dirtbike.
    France loses temper: Situation normal.
    France loses money: Hide the cash under the soap.
    France loses farm subsidy: Hide the sheep, and the petrol.
    France loses inhibitions: Just hide.
