taxman Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 Marie-Antoinette nicked all the cake so the revolution had to make do with croissants, pain campagne, baguettes, flutes etc. The revolution starts with pain au chocolat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longcol Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 The revolution starts with pain au chocolat And ends with cassoulet and saucisson sec - not forgetting tripes a la mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harleyman Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 No self respecting Englishman should even think of eating a croissant for breakfast. It's a Gallic thing. That's what did Napolean in at Waterloo. While his soldiers nibbled on croissants Wellington's men scoffed down bacon, eggs, kippers , bread and dripping and Marmite on toast As Wellington's mum once told him "Arthur, if your going out to slaughter the enemy at least have a solid breakfast and avoid those sissy croisssants for heavens sake" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longcol Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 There are also a handful of people who take it a little more seriously, but it tends to be a lifestyle choice rather than going around blowing stuff up. Not always. http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v733/scmiksell/frank04.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.rinf.com/forum/showthread.php%3Ft%3D5804&usg=__Nk9c6tQdc7zoUfXkJ_q-3OARvUw=&h=400&w=439&sz=42&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=fqlr9DR2hwqnIM:&tbnh=145&tbnw=159&ei=y5BMTaHNCIieOqrE1eUP&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dfurry%2Bfreak%2Bmarinus%2Bvan%2Bder%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26biw%3D1024%26bih%3D629%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=130&vpy=250&dur=5451&hovh=214&hovw=235&tx=124&ty=103&oei=y5BMTaHNCIieOqrE1eUP&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=14&ved=1t:429,r:5,s:0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vague_Boy Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Can't anarchists make their own croissants? Most people think of anarchists as advocating well... anarchy, but that's a rather superficial point of view. Anarchism is a political philosophy which considers the state undesirable, unnecessary, and harmful, and instead promotes a stateless society, or anarchy. Now the state and capitalism aren't the same thing (although it may seem like it given our penchant for bailing out failing private companies). So yes, anarchists can buy croissants with a clear conscience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harleyman Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I remember all the hippies and anti-establishment types in the 1960s, head shops, head bands, drop out, turn on blah blah blah. Now they're all middle aged men worrying about their pension investments and cholesterol levels It was all <REMOVED> looking back to those days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxman Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 Well I'll be picking up the crumbs from the rich man's anarchist's table by eating his leftover croissant this morning whilst humming La Marseillaise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badgerramble Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I want my anarchists to be focussed ! If it means that they are munching on a croissant or sucking on some mouldy dry bread, I don't care, as long as they have either stolen it or done a bit of skip/bin diving (don't see this as theft). If an anarchist is happy chomping on their croissant or pain au chocolat ( my pastry of choice mmmmmm) is it going to make them less of an anarchist ? I don't think we have had a definitive answer yet. Can we have a happy anarchist or because of their calling we are demanding that they should be tortured and not enjoy the taste of butter rich pastries ? Perhaps they are avoiding them because they are watching their cholesterol;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
