Bonjour
Je suis diplomate comme une impi qui charge :twisted:
Je respectes les britanniques puisque je suis breton de souche et comme chacuns sait les bretons sont originaires de Grande-Bretagne...
Voyez Dantec,romancier Breton bien connu qui a abandonné sa nationalité Française ,car il estime que sur le plan ethnique,les Bretons de souches sont des britanniques...

I could make out some of what Pascal said.
"I am a diplomat as an impi that I respected the British since I am breton of strain and as each knows the bretons are originating in Great Britain see Dantec romance well known Breton who abandoned his French nationality because he believes"

This morning,21 JANUARY,main zulu army breacks into small groups and move north-west into Ngwebeni valley.A patrol from the British camp is driven off by zulu scouts without realising the signifiance of the encounter... The mind boggles. Tomorrow the alarm will be hard...
