What Europeans think about each other

[Stormlight]

What we think about each other. (http://dailycandor.com/what-europeans-think-of-each-other/)

And by "we", I mean "they" of course as we are again left out. :glare:
Still pretty amusing.

[Caligulette]

By "we", you mean "wee"....

[Watser?]

I have read a different version of the Heaven and Hell.

In Heaven
the beer is German
the food is Italian
the wine is French
the tea is British

in Hell
the beer is French
the food is British
the wine is German
the tea is Italian

He didn't write any about that whole Flemish/Walloon thang, either. I hear they dislike each other more than they dislike any foreigners.

He only spent four years in Europe, Stormlight, he couldn't visit every single city.

[Uthgar the Brazen]

It's been 20 years since I was last there, but I see the Austrians haven't changed a bit.

[Watser?]

The following is based on my numerous interactions with Europeans, having lived there for 4 years.

Crazy Americans, thinking Europe is a place where you can live.

Stop crushing my hopes for escaping this looney bin! :sadcheer:

[Watser?]

Ummm

I mean, nowhere do they call it Europe...

I don't live in Europe, I live in the Netherlands.

[Uthgar the Brazen]

Lies! I hate you, too! :cryhome:

[Watser?]

Here's the Austrian band Attwenger telling us what Austrians are like

(they are telling us in an Austrian dialect of German though...)

The English also have a poor reputation in tourist traps, such as Amsterdam and Ibiza, for being loud-mouthed, obnoxious drunks.

I knew that Amsterdam was just a tourist trap!

Everybody knows that.

You think real people live there? They all commute from Almere :yup:

:nojustno:

The Czechs aren't a bit like Germans and Austrians certainly aren't racist (unlike Czechs :giggle:)

Does that surprise you? Austrians haven't changed for several centuries already. That's why they're so horribly antiquated and also why I wanna move as quickly as possible :D

[Watser?]

aHA!

Österreicher sind schnell beleidigt, wenn einer wass sagt, wird schnell verteidigt
:leadsing:

[Demon]

Naja, bis darauf, dass ich nicht Österreicher bin ;)

[Watser?]

aHA!

Ein Ausländer also!

[Demon]

:giggle:

Yeah, I live in Austria and was born there, but I'm still a Czech citizen. So I guess I'm neither really... maybe a bit more Czech :shrug: And it's ture that Czechs are quite the haters, I didn't really like any country I've been to yet. Maybe I'll try America or Japan :D

[Stormlight]

A Czech demon!

[Sock Puppet]

And by "we", I mean "they" of course as we are again left out. :glare:Well, they did ask for input on the comments; you should fill them in. Ask the other 12 guys to do it too, and you can get the entire country's outlook on there.

[Demon]

A Czech demon!

:giggle: Yeah... :demon: But I actually meant a Japanese one at first.

[Shelli]

He didn't write any about that whole Flemish/Walloon thang, either. I hear they dislike each other more than they dislike any foreigners.'Tis true. :yup2: My husband's parents are from Belgium. :belgium:

:stunned:

[Uthgar the Brazen]

If it's any consolation, liar is probably the winner in that contest. We just think it's a grand thing to say how we read the bible all the time, as if that would put someone else at ease long enough to rob him blind, rape his wife and kill him.

So it was. I'm sorry Caligulette! :sorry:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!

(or; Whereupon there was screaming...)

I like To Kill a Mockingbird, but really wonder who they were asking in this poll. I work in what is a rather conservative area (just outside of Portland), and we don't sell all that many bibles. Nor, really, do we get all that many inquiries about them (some, yes, but not so many that it isn't notable when it happens). And Gone With the Wind is not really a hot item, either.

Anyhoo....Luxembourg is small....Luxembourg is wee....Luxembourg is a pocket-sized paradise...

Luxembourg is a pocket-sized paradise...

[oblomov]

i think the dutch bring more than just water with them on their travels. i've certainly observed them lunching out of their car boots alongside french motorways.

Yes, but what else would you have them eat along French motorways. The restaurants are pretty much all atrocious.

If only.

They had enough leftovers in their boot to travel through Luxembourg...all five minutes of it.

[Angakuk]

Stormlight, don't feel bad about being ignored in the article, it also didn't mention Andorra, Monaco or San Marino. You are in, if not exactly good company, at least among the select few.

[Uthgar the Brazen]

...all five minutes of it.

I've heard that taking the scenic route is the only way to go. :yup:
