François Théodore Thistlethwaite's Frenglish Thoughts by Barry a Whittingham Pdf
The product of his parents' ferociously antagonistic genes, François Théodore Thistlethwaite is a traumatized, split-identity Frenglishman. Any one of his three alter egos - François, the Marxist Frenchman, his ultra-conservative English sibling, Thistlethwaite, or Théodore, their philosophical, middle voice of reason - can seize possession of the whole to expound their views on some of those différences which cause the only similarity between French and English to be the colours of their flag. Illustrated by many hilarious anecdotes based on the author's own experiences and observations during his 40 years of survival among the French, François Théodore Thistlethwaite's FRENGLISH THOUGHTS contains a host of humorous, insightful reflections on such diverse subjects as French and English women, queuing, the Puritan factor, driving in France, sporting fair play and many more - some of which are controversial enough to rock the very foundations of the Entente Cordiale.
