Actually, I have a hard time with most things French
- politically - but other things like their wine and women are a
different story {:>)

No offence intended, of course, for that part of your French ancestry
that is not diluted. It is just that it always helps to make fun
of someone else in order to make me feel better about myself

As a side note, I have been continuing my
genealogy research into my "French" ancestors and I found my "French"
ancestor actually came from a part of what is now France (since 1472) but,
which was originally inhabited (and still is ) by a Celtic clan
called the "Britons". This clan was at one time
widespread in "Britain" and western France. This is the
district of "Brittany", In fact, some of the older folks there still
speak a form of Gaelic very similar to that which had been spoken in Wales
England. So there is a possibility that my "French" ancestry is
"diluted".{:>)
