It did, though you forgot to mention that we also make thermostat controllers.

You're mostly right about the Germans, too, especially the "self-blame paranoia" part, if I understand it correctly. What about the Dutch? The Belgians? The Luxemburgers? Spanish? French? Swiss? Italians? Austrians?...

Kazlein, I think Hugh is referring to what you might have encountered as "negative nationalism" in the German media ...

As to the Luxemburgers: I think it is sufficient to say that they are indefinitely less tasty than hamburgers and all that is needed to assure that every Dutch within the next 1000 miles will be lusting for your blood is if you call them "Mock-Germans" ...

it's all true about the brits !!!

and do we mind people pointing it out - well, no.

in fact we rather enjoy it, such is our national masochistic tendency.

we all have a right to point out the foibles and dislikes about other nations. this is a free country (forum) after all and i, even though not american, would defend everyones right to do so.

for goodness sake, yorick, stop being so sensitive, it's really irritating and smacks of huge insecurity.

Can't you just ignore it if it is so irritating?

??? And just what am I insecure about oh Flaming one?

As for being sensative, I would have thought the ability to feel and empathise a positive one. I am an artiste after all. For goodness sake tracey, stop being so abrasive and learn some diplomacy, it's really irritating and smacks of huge insincerity.

The above is truly a British trait and not one of their better ones peoples. Fleet street are a pack of hounds and the british public a horde of vultures feeding on the fallen after the media are done.

Last I checked this was a private forum with some paying members, not a free country. Ziroc is a benevolent dictator, but we should not take this freedom of expression he allows for granted.

Sure it isn't the whip in her sig which provides the "smack"?

Originally posted by Yorick: The British are xenophobic, stuffy, emotionally repressive, disunified and poor at sports. They all hate the French, Germans and all of Europe - thus travelling to America quicker than they would the continent - and cling to past glories because the present so drearily mirrors their climate. Miserable and sunless. The Germans are repressive about everything. They're unfriendly control freaks with chips on their shoulders and an overly cautious attitude that borders on self-blame paranoia. I wish they'd lighten up and smile in the streets a little during winter. Canadians possess an envious 'little brother' mentality regarding the USA, as do New Zealanders with Australia. However the Canadians have whiney seccessionistic French in their country and must pander to the spoilt brat tantrums Quebeqois throw every time a non Froncophile is running the country. Australians are hard arsed cynical bastards with an obsession with the "Tyrrany of distance" and ridiculous level of belief that their landscapes are the greatest anywhere. Well, they're right about that so it makes it worse. Sport is God there and a sensative artist will be skinned alive to the chants of 'Aussie Aussie Aussie, oi oi oi."

Fecking hysterical Yorick, I know you're trying to make a serious point here, but hey, this is the funniest post I've read in a long time. Keep going, bro. (Sure you haven't missed your vocation as a stand up comedian?? )
