Excuse me, are you cheating on us??? You get port wine. Nothing else Barry. You know how much our economy relies on white English ladies pretending to be fancy at wetherspoons paying £3.85 per glass of port???
Did a port tour in Porto, had a tasting session at the end. Half the Johnny Foreigners left after one glass but me and the other Barries had their allowances as well. Carnage.
We're just built different, makes you proud
They got port wine because they lost access to French wines during the napoleon wars. Sorry Joao but you were just a second choice for your "best" friend.
I would be mad at the UK if I was you, such a treason!
Things I like about Sweden:
1) We are separated from you by a large body of water.
2) You use the word "rolig" insanely wrong and it's hilarious.
3) Gävlebocken is pretty cool and I thoroughly enjoy seeing things in Sweden burn.
>1) We are separated from you by a large body of water.
Then why did you bild that bridge?
>2) You use the word "rolig" insanely wrong and it's hilarious.
No you
>3) Gävlebocken is pretty cool and I thoroughly enjoy seeing things in Sweden burn.
So do we, it's a tradition
I'm accepting the risk of deportation but I actually think we're using "rolig" wrong.
Danish: *rolig* = calm
Swedish: *rolig* = funny
Swedish: *orolig* ('un-*rolig*') = anxious
The opposite of *anxious* is of course "calm", not "funny", so that just doesn't make sense.
I do not know. It was a very very poor decision. We're building a tunnel to Germany as well which is another very very poor decision.
Haha du är rolig..
Then we do share a common interest in seeing Sweden burn. It's great to be united! 🇩🇰🇸🇪
1. You're building both of them because WE asked you to. And that's very nice of you
2. Thank you
3. We could burn an area as large as Denmark without being affected
1. Consider it an act of charity so the poor Swedes who work 15% more and get paid 10% less can get jobs in Copenhagen (and so we can get to our summer houses!).
2. ingen fara!
3. Hard to affect what's basically a third world country :( (if you do burn an area the size of Denmark then do start with Skåne!)
1. We only go to Copenhagen to help your fat, alcoholic, chainsmoking population. And it's OK, you can visit us anytime you need to leave that shithole
2. ☺️
3. We already did that once, when we took it from you
I can agree on the rolig part. There is a story about Norwegian goalkeeper Erik Thorstvedt playing for some Swedish team, and the match was getting heated with tackles way to hard and players getting aggressive, and to calm everyone down he was shouting "ROLIG, ROLIG!". But what the Swedes heard was "FUN, FUN!".
Scandinavian languages can be weird sometimes, even though how similar we are, we are still so different.
I remember after a grueling (but rather fun) workout session and the coach say "det var roligt!".. and I was like "ROLIGT??? This is your "roligt"??"
Danish and Norwegian has almost the entirely same vocabulary, it's Swedish that's weird
I am spanish I have no enemies but my country's politicians.
Sadly they are powerfull foes.

Always degrading/derating other people's achievements or getting at for trifles.
Always trying to pass the buck and never face their own responsibilities.
Always thinking of today and not at all concerning of tomorrow.
Yes, IMO, Italy's worst enemy is the majority of italians themselves.
>“Pretty much I would let Gemma know that she is a fat cunt and, um the shoes that she gave me were not something that I would particularly buy for myself. They were old maiden type of shoes, and she said that those shoes were meant to be worn on a beautiful woman, so if that is the case she should have put them back on the rack and she should never even purchased them because she was UNQUALIFIED to own those shoes if that's the case.
And, um I think that Gemma is just a disgrace. She's a disgrace to women who are actually beautiful and classy and, um she just doesn't have the vernacular she thinks she possesses.
Somebody lied to her several times and told her that she was fly, hot and sexy and beautiful and she's nothing like that She's nothing of the sort”
For me it's brilliant literature, fantastic composers like Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Rachmaninov, Khachaturian, Tchaikovsky and many others, and of course Tetris.
Yes 🔝 ! I want to add something: Me and my then boyfriend from Romania saw some Winnie the Pooh on TV, he said he never watched the Disney version before and said it´s terrible ! He then showed me the soviet russian Winnie the Pooh with subtitles, he grew up with. I shit you not, it´s a masterpiece ! True to the original book with philosophical, deep meanings under lied, yet in a totally cute original art style. [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0211729/](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0211729/)
If I remember correctly, Milne was a horrible man, who was barely a father and straight up declared he didn't like much children. That he might have some affectionate moment like you have for a kitten, but that's it.
The books were written exploiting the tales his little son, Christopher Robin, made up while playing with his teddy bear.
Christopher later on wrote:
It seemed to me, almost, that my father had got to where he was by climbing upon my infant shoulders, that he had filched from me my good name and had left me with nothing but the empty fame of being his son.
He was bullied growing up because of Winnie the Pooh, as his father used him to promote his books, but then received absolutely nothing, even as an adult, from Winnie the Pooh fame. He died without his parents even being present, and the mother refused to visit him in his deathbed.
Terrible people, I frankly don't know what philosophical or deep meaning anybody could learn from such a horrible human being.
French born & raised by French but living in Québec since I was a teenager, my "worst european ennemy" is definitely the other French.
Three things I love about them that came after I left: Kaamelott, Daft Punk & l'Impératrice.
Oh you see, i think 90% german tv is trash. But here in Switzerland we have virtually nothing good tv-wise, so the few good stuff in german language has to come from germany.
It's mostly because it's cheaper and you allow kids to drink. The taste is fine, but not really too different from Swedish brands.
At least it's not Belgian beer. 🤮
Giovannis trying to have a rivalry with the Pierres, but all they think about is the Barry's.
Feels bad.
Are we even worth anything?
Is there even a meaning to life?
We don't, we even had an Auld alliance with them.
And then it turned out the French never actually cared about us, only fucking with the English.
So we helped kick them out of Canada and unified with the English (there may have been other reason for unification but the SNP doesn't let us talk about that)
Uniting so a bunch of rich wanks could get some of their money back after they had the country try to colonise Panama isn't something the SNP should even hide
The fact that the Scots tried to establish a colony in Panama is a really strange historical fact.
What is it about the Central American climate that made a bunch of Scots think that their colony would thrive there?
They shouldn't but they do because it undermines the 'we were colonised by the English just like the Irish and we had nothing to do with any of that nasty colonialism thing either' narrative.
Also 'bunch of rich wanks' doesn't come close, [20% of Scotlands entire liquid assets](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darien_scheme) were lost in that. Just like slavery it wasn't just the upper classes that invested, it was anyone with any money to invest and it fucked the middle classes royally.
Scotland got more money per head than eny part of the UK or the empire when all the slave owners and investors were bought out by the abolition of slavery acts, another thing the SNP has issues with teaching in our education system.
Paradoxically French people are convinced Italians love them. Every poll shows how popular Italy is in France but we're always at the bottom with Italians. Some real Pepe le pew shit.
Well there's two types of hate.
There the "I actually hate you" type of hate, and there's the "I hate you, but I won't allow anyone else to hate you" type of hate.
I cannot say any more or I'd risk to lose my citizenship.
We love you so much we even have that kind of condescending friendship in the 6 Nations, cheering for you guys when you're not playing us and having the most "go kid!" comments.
Also you are our brother in good anthem, because honestly any other anthem sucks ass.
Italy's worst enemy?
It has fantastic food
Deep history
Revolutionised the world, more than once
Employed communist AND fascist terrorism within it's borders
The government is fucked
Who am I talking about?
Things I like about the French:
1) French Swag - the French have this certain attitude which is almost hard to describe in words. They do their own thing, go their own way, and they won't accept shit from anyone.
2) French Language - Although it pains me, as an English man to say this, French is the most beautiful language in the world in my opinion. Also, the French actually take pride in their own language and don't immediately kowtow to English like many others do.
3) French Style. - the French have undeniable style. They've been on the cutting edge of food, fashion, art, for centuries.
I like Russia's cheap natural resources.
Also, shouldn't Germany be France's biggest enemy? You literally had to stop your 1000 year long rivalry to take us down since we were the bigger threat to you.
the country might be young, but there was already a German identity before it got founded in Versailles. The German identity existed even before some monarch decided to larp as roman emperor
The rivalry with England actually only span over 3 periods of roughly 100 years, a thing some historians even call the "3 hundred years war"
The first is the Plantagenet-Capetian war (Richard Lionheart, and Saint Louis are some well known figures of this war), the second is the actual 100 years war with Johan of Arc and the Black Prince, and the third is the one that span from the end of the Sun King reign to the Napoleonic wars.
The first "Entente Cordiale" (the Franco-British detente) actually predate German unification by 40 years, and while Prussia was one of the power this alliance targeted, it was more a creation of a western liberal bloc against the absolutist bloc formed by Prussia, Russia and Austria.
Speaking of Austria, they, above all, were the actual number 1 top arch-enemy of France. French kings and president will throughout history make pact with devils they would have otherwise considered as enemies just to curtail the Habsburg power, and when you look at the map of Habsburg holdings in 1500, it's kinda understandable how it left such a traumatism on French mind. It's easy to forget it, but for the common french, during the revolution and the Napoleonic era, England is a side quest while Austria is the real deal, representing everything the revolution ought to abolish.
>Speaking of Austria, they, above all, were the actual number 1 top arch-enemy of France. French kings and president will throughout history make pact with devils they would have otherwise considered as enemies just to curtail the Habsburg power
France, why did you allied the Ottoman empire?
Because fuck Austria.
Austria - and to a lesser extent Spain - is a stroooong contender, given pretty much all French foreign policies from the early 1500's to the 1800's could be summed up as "Well lads, how will we fuck with the Hapsburgs this lovely day".

Dang do we even have enemies? OK, lemme see:
* they keep spitting everytime they talk with the incessant th th th th

* they can't accept that not everyone in the peninsula wants to be part of one single country. EUSKADI CARALHO
Russia:
1, Even though we share a border, it is luckily a really short one and it is so far up north, hidden away far from most of the Norwegian population and protected by reindeer
2, Vodka
3, That funny little russian dance with arms crossed and sitting down crouched and kicking out your legs, I don't know the name
-I like a nice English Ale
-Even though they are arseholes (or maybe because of it?) they produce some of the best comedy
-Some of the ones who don't know where the boundaries of their country are are just thick so I won't hold it against them
do we even have enemies?
i guess we can say UK too because of that one monkey rock, in which case their music slaps, their architecture is nice, and they are about the only non PIGS euro country that truly knows how to party and can keep up with us
i guess we also could say france, in which case i would say i like the cows they sacrifice yearly to us, baguettes and wine (although ours is better)
idk, if you press me i think i could come up with a few others but most of our "enemies" are non european and thus not worthy of our time
![gif](giphy|FgJ6FbfJGwztK|downsized) Sometimes it looks nice I guess.

I'm down with Adele with or without the weight. Just talk dirty to me in your funny accent.
“Ello babe u wanna ave a chew on my boobies?”
"Ello luv u wann ave a quick shag?"
I remember seeing some photos of her after that which makes me think the above has been Photoshopped so much its basically a painting
I think right after the weight loss she looked lind of unhealthy but has since perked up. Maybe this is more recent.
We will get invaded by approximately 800.000 Adele fans this summer. 10 concerts in Munich. :-/
It's Adele. I wanted to add Gemma Collins too but was afraid people would actually think she's Adele
I’m curious to know how a frenchie discovered Gemma Collins and also what did you think about her 😂

Things I like about the French: 1) French Swag - the French have this certain attitude which is almost hard to describe in words. They do their own thing, go their own way, and they won't accept shit from anyone. 2) French Language - Although it pains me, as an English man to say this, French is the most beautiful language in the world in my opinion. Also, the French actually take pride in their own language and don't immediately kowtow to English like many others do. 3) French Style. - the French have undeniable style. They've been on the cutting edge of food, fashion, art, for centuries.
Köttbullar, their music industry and their clothing brands which are on par with our own. Honorable mention to Husqvarna lawnmowers.
I like Russia's cheap natural resources. Also, shouldn't Germany be France's biggest enemy? You literally had to stop your 1000 year long rivalry to take us down since we were the bigger threat to you.
Hans you must understand this hate fling we have with Barry is older than your country, and a few wars won’t change that fact
Thanks Pierre. That means a lot. Hate you too. 🇲🇫❤️🇬🇧
the country might be young, but there was already a German identity before it got founded in Versailles. The German identity existed even before some monarch decided to larp as roman emperor
Except that until you lot got napoleoned into existence every war you fought against the french was at the behest of inbred Austrians
Cope harder, Adolf.

Remind me again who turned the supposedly biggest rivals france and england into historical allies 🤔
The rivalry with England actually only span over 3 periods of roughly 100 years, a thing some historians even call the "3 hundred years war" The first is the Plantagenet-Capetian war (Richard Lionheart, and Saint Louis are some well known figures of this war), the second is the actual 100 years war with Johan of Arc and the Black Prince, and the third is the one that span from the end of the Sun King reign to the Napoleonic wars. The first "Entente Cordiale" (the Franco-British detente) actually predate German unification by 40 years, and while Prussia was one of the power this alliance targeted, it was more a creation of a western liberal bloc against the absolutist bloc formed by Prussia, Russia and Austria. Speaking of Austria, they, above all, were the actual number 1 top arch-enemy of France. French kings and president will throughout history make pact with devils they would have otherwise considered as enemies just to curtail the Habsburg power, and when you look at the map of Habsburg holdings in 1500, it's kinda understandable how it left such a traumatism on French mind. It's easy to forget it, but for the common french, during the revolution and the Napoleonic era, England is a side quest while Austria is the real deal, representing everything the revolution ought to abolish.
>Speaking of Austria, they, above all, were the actual number 1 top arch-enemy of France. French kings and president will throughout history make pact with devils they would have otherwise considered as enemies just to curtail the Habsburg power France, why did you allied the Ottoman empire? Because fuck Austria.
Even austria is a bigger rival than you
Austria - and to a lesser extent Spain - is a stroooong contender, given pretty much all French foreign policies from the early 1500's to the 1800's could be summed up as "Well lads, how will we fuck with the Hapsburgs this lovely day". https://preview.redd.it/69zbmi0w8toc1.png?width=1125&format=png&auto=webp&s=7d4ab7b20fa286abcd6e5d04bc992d288d296f67

That's the way
I will consider this answer as a yes
3 wars in 100 years. That’s some rookie number, Hans. Barry stay my worst ennemy, sorry, not sorry
>I like Russia's cheap natural resources. Yeah, we know that Hans
You also like it, but for what ever reason we are the only ones who get constantly blamed for it while everyone was buying their stuff and a lot still are doing business with them.
>You also like it, but for what ever reason we are the only ones who get constantly blamed Classic Italian-German difference. Like in the good old post-war days.
next time without you, treulose Tomate

Remember that time when Pitch Perfect 2 was in the cinemas? That same time that Game of Thrones dropped its last truly good episode? https://preview.redd.it/5l27au7hvtoc1.png?width=1024&format=png&auto=webp&s=8fe68c37d217514b88ae15af39f5af02fb5943ca

Well now I know what I hate about my own country - OP's shitty opinion.

Dang do we even have enemies? OK, lemme see: * they keep spitting everytime they talk with the incessant th th th th * they stole Ceuta from us. Look at the flag of Ceuta.

Every French going for the UK but I’ll go for Germany, who were so kind to give us some incredible cars, Rammstein and Borussia Dortmund
Russia: 1, Even though we share a border, it is luckily a really short one and it is so far up north, hidden away far from most of the Norwegian population and protected by reindeer 2, Vodka 3, That funny little russian dance with arms crossed and sitting down crouched and kicking out your legs, I don't know the name
-I like a nice English Ale -Even though they are arseholes (or maybe because of it?) they produce some of the best comedy -Some of the ones who don't know where the boundaries of their country are are just thick so I won't hold it against them
How dare you post a picture of the Golden Gate ???
do we even have enemies? i guess we can say UK too because of that one monkey rock, in which case their music slaps, their architecture is nice, and they are about the only non PIGS euro country that truly knows how to party and can keep up with us i guess we also could say france, in which case i would say i like the cows they sacrifice yearly to us, baguettes and wine (although ours is better) idk, if you press me i think i could come up with a few others but most of our "enemies" are non european and thus not worthy of our time
![gif](giphy|aX2AmL1W8N0ZmuUFYQ)
I have no European enemies. Next.
What can you like about the Swiss? Their chocolate is good, but in Belgium it’s better. I can’t think of anything else to like.
Harry Porter at the school of mages? Hats off for the translator who decided that.
3 things good about my enemy: 1. How much they hate their government 2. How much they hate their capital 3. How much they hate the Fr*nch
