You shouldn't have added the 9000 reference mate, facepunch doesn't like memes. And it was pretty pointless anyway.
[QUOTE=Mindtwistah;38867375]You shouldn't have added the 9000 reference mate, facepunch doesn't like memes. And it was pretty pointless anyway.[/QUOTE] Yeah just realized that...
I thought it was implying that Scotland literally just now reached 9,000 people and was like wait what

I'm guessing quite a bit of it is down due to immigration.

[QUOTE=WeekendWarrior;38867800]France's historical habit of surrendering.[/QUOTE] [quote=QI]France [is the most successful military power in European history]. According to the historian Niall Ferguson, of the 125 major European wars fought since 1495, the French have participated in 50 – more than Austria (47) and England (43). Out of 168 battles fought since 387BC, they have won 109, lost 49 and drawn 10. The British tend to be rather selective about the battles they remember. Every English schoolboy was once able to recite the roll call of our glorious wins at Crécy (1346), Poitiers (1356) and Agincourt (1415), but no one’s ever heard of the French victories at Patay (1429) and (especially) at Castillon (1453), where French cannons tore the English apart, winning the Hundred Years War and confirming France as the most powerful military nation in Europe. And what about the Duke of Enghien thrashing the Spanish at Rocroi late on in the Thirty Years War in 1643, ending a century of Spanish dominance? Or the siege of Yorktown, Virginia, in 1781, when General Comte de Rochambeau and American forces prevailed? The British always prided themselves on superiority at sea, but knew they could never win a land war on the Continent. France’s achievements help to explain another French “military victory”. Whether it is ranks (general, captain, corporal, lieutenant); equipment (lance, mine, bayonet, epaulette, trench); organisation (volunteer, regiment, soldier, barracks) or strategy (army, camouflage, combat, esprit de corps, reconnaissance), the language of warfare is French.[/quote] [url]http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/qi/8080884/Quite-Interesting-the-QI-cabinet-of-curiosity.html[/url]

Aside from WW2 france spent most of the last 1000+ years routinely shitkicking most of europe.
