I was talking to my dad about this very thing this weekend. Dad: "The French sure do whine a lot." Me: "All countries whine a lot." Dad: "But the French seem to do it more than anyone else." Me: "I think you just notice them more because it's become a running joke. Really, we're all a bunch of cry-baby whiners."

To my surprise, he conceded this point.
They're resorting to being extremely annoying in the hope that Germany won't invade and occupy them again any time soon.
Thanks for posting a link to my Starr Report picture!
And he autographed it for me too...

DanF,
But the French aren't only good at whining (and wine).
.......obligatory French surrender joke:
Q: How many gears does a French tank have?
A: 4 reverse gears and 1 forward, just in case the enemy attacks from the rear.
...said the turd in the punchbowl.
Hedley,
The quality of your commentary appears to be suffering a decline. If that's possible.....
