  1000 Years of Annoying the French

  Stephen Clarke

  The author of A Year in the Merde and Talk to the Snail offers a highly biased and hilarious view of French history in this international bestseller.   Things have been just a little awkward between Britain and France ever since the Norman invasion in 1066. Fortunately—after years of humorously chronicling the vast cultural gap between the two countries—author Stephen Clarke is perfectly positioned to investigate the historical origins of their occasionally hostile and perpetually entertaining pas de deux.   Clarke sets the record straight, documenting how French braggarts and cheats have stolen credit rightfully due their neighbors across the Channel while blaming their own numerous gaffes and failures on those same innocent Brits for the past thousand years. Deeply researched and written with the same sly wit that made A Year in the Merde a comic hit, this lighthearted trip through the past millennium debunks the notion that the Battle of Hastings was a French victory (William the Conqueror was really a Norman who hated the French) and pooh-poohs French outrage over Britain’s murder of Joan of Arc (it was the French who executed her for wearing trousers). He also takes the air out of overblown Gallic claims, challenging the provenance of everything from champagne to the guillotine to prove that the French would be nowhere without British ingenuity.   Brits and Anglophiles of every national origin will devour Clarke’s decidedly biased accounts of British triumph and French ignominy. But 1000 Years of Annoying the French will also draw chuckles from good-humored Francophiles as well as “anyone who’s ever encountered a snooty Parisian waiter or found themselves driving on the Boulevard Périphérique during August” (The Daily Mail). A bestseller in Britain, this is an entertaining look at history that fans of Sarah Vowell are sure to enjoy, from the author the San Francisco Chronicle has called “the anti-Mayle . . . acerbic, insulting, un-PC, and mostly hilarious.”

  "This business about graceful exit just simply has no realism to it at all." As the end of the Bush era approaches, the legacy is clear: George W. Bush is a wartime president. His enemy, battered but not defeated after repeated surges: the English language. The ultimate edition of George W. Bushisms captures this legacy -- from the Gulf Coast to Iraq and back -- with all-new pearls of wisdom and the twenty-five greatest hits of the entire presidency. "You know, when I campaigned here in 2000, I said, I want to be a war president. No president wants to be a war president, but I am one.""I think -- tide turning -- see, as I remember -- I was raised in the desert, but tides kind of -- it's easy to see a tide turn -- did I say those words?"

  Souls Who Meet Each Other

  When we speak of Souls meeting, we refer to that particular interconnectedness that binds two or more souls with one purpose in life: that of meeting and evolving together along the path of spiritual evolution. The Twin Souls are stimulated and helped in the path of spiritual growth, one comes to the rescue of the other, precisely because in the first place, they have so many goals to achieve in their life together, create their existence as a couple, as a family and as people who will give a good example to their friends and to all those around them. We live in the Age of Awareness and everything that happens, has its own reason of being, nothing belongs to chance; therefore, our reunions, our meetings, also belong to this. For example, the question many people ask is, "Why do Soul Mates exist?". Surely the Twin Souls are not an invention of who knows who, but they are actually a reality concerning Being, understood as a spiritual being of course. We can define our soul as "complete", but we are on this planet, life after life, with certain characteristics that affect the person, so the affinity that fits between the Twin Souls helps them in their relationship. But not only does affinity become part of these two people, there must also be a common reality about everything that concerns them and what follows. A meeting between Twin Souls is that moment in which an individual becomes aware that the known person is an important and fundamental part of his existence. Then, there is "chemistry" between two people and in the chapter we will explain this chemistry in what it consists, how it is born and what it creates between two souls that meet. Physical attraction only? You will read it. I will also bring to your knowledge "The Mental love", a kind of love that is born as an attraction between two souls who respect each other, working together in their relationship. Knowledge of the soul amalgamated with many aspects that will be alive for life. Something very different from the "Soul mates", who attract, feel, for eternity. Here is a real and mutual love lived during this life.
