Subject: Euro 2008 Final

Ah. It is a different player.

Xavi - Xavier Hernández Creus

Did the Spanish manage to smile once they'd won it?

They played really well and should have won far more comfortably in the end.

I switched off after the final whistle ;o)

They did - and then they went back to the all you can eat buffet. They'll be dancing in the streets of Disneyland Paris tonight !

I hope they don't batter any small children with stale baguettes...watch out for that!

Thankfully we got back before that occured. I don't like making sweeping statements, but of the 17,235 Spaniards I rubbed shoulders with there, 7 of them had manners. And all 7 spoke English. Coincidence ?

yes.

You're probably right, it's probably all people who go to Disney who have no manners.

Oh! Look! A six foot mouse!

It worked on my 3 year old.

He will only be embarrassed by it later in life. The Americans on the other hand...

You can kind of see why it's in France though - they seem to respect their history, which is the one thing that Disney aspires to be, and the one thing that America can't allow.

Oh, and another thing, why is France closed on Sundays and Wednesdays ? What's wrong with them ? Don't they like money ? I actually said "God Bless America" when McDonalds was the only thing open in Calais on Sunday 2 weeks ago - without that, we were without lunch !

corrected your typo ;^)

How can they respect their history? I mean - what, are they proud of Maginot Line and the thing that Adolf steered cleer from it through Belgie etc? :D Or maybe because of agreeing to make a Hitler-trademark country, like Czech Rep? Or maybe of having party in the fortifications while Poland was getting destroyed? That's quite tempting :P

Btw. did you know that French guys were making their own gardens on the Maginot Line? What a nice way to spend the free time :P
