It does exist and means 'craven' or 'cowardly'. Not sure if it's the same word though.</font>[/QUOTE]Yes, it is definitely the same word. "Poltron" in French means "coward". It is an old word, not much used nowadays.

Why did I bother learning English ? I could have managed with old French : "Vous êtes un poltron, Messire". ! :D

LOL at johnny :D - now you must have known I was going to bookmark this thread for re-emergence if the unthinkable happened [img]smile.gif[/img]

Autralia 3 England 1 - the good news being that the England 2nd's at least broke even (1-1) with us in the 2nd half.

</font>[/QUOTE]Just to rub salt into the wound, did anyone mention that Australia also took off its best players in the second half to even things up?

I'll try to catch the highlights tonight and let you know. I'm suprised you didn't watch it seeing as it was such a big deal down under. Big screens erected to watch it - you've got to laugh! ;)

Davros 02-13-2003 05:10 AM

How did you know I hadn't seen the game buddy - you're right though :D . Sleep looked to be the more attractive option, though I did watch the last 20 mins when I got up at my standard time of 05:30 am. I did get to see both 2nd half goals. By the sounds of it, we were much more impressive in the 1st half, and I am about to watch that while having my tea tonight [img]smile.gif[/img] .
