You see, he decided to return the favor literally.<\/p>\n<p>From the cliffs of Dover.<\/p>\n<p>Using a giant fake butt &#8211; one about 16 feet high.<\/p>\n<p>And which incorporated a giant, flame-spewing &#8220;fart gun&#8221; loud enough to be heard in France.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.colinfurze.com\/fartfrance.html\"><em>I&#8217;m serious.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll let Furze tell you about the project himself. The clips that follow total around 12 min, but IMO they\u2019re well worth the time. &#8216;Course, that assessment may be due as much to my own . . . &#8220;different&#8221; sense of humor as anything else. (smile)<\/p>\n<p>Caveat: they&#8217;re probably safe for work, but you might want to put down any beverages before watching them. And any small children seeing them might ask some . . . interesting questions, so use care.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/n9PMD8fcvAk?rel=0\" width=\"450\" height=\"253\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LMzAS9SsMBw?rel=0\" width=\"450\" height=\"253\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7Ydv9Ef-99I?rel=0\" width=\"450\" height=\"253\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Looks like England\u2019s national honor has been restored.
