I do not like the Germans. They are aggressive, rude, often have excessive facial and underarm hair of which they are blatantly proud (and that is just the women) and occasionally wear very strange knee lenth leather trousers with bibs. They are not to be trusted. How dare they have such a thriving economy.


I do not like the French, their toilet facilities are an abomination - the doors are often too high off the floor and have a big gap all the way around. It is still possible to find hole in the ground toilets in France and the toilet paper is inhospitable and likely to inflict paper cuts.


I like hugs and I like Sean MacGabhan although I think he has been hormonal lately. I also like Mike Bate - he is good at hugging, I like Mark and Keef too (sigh). OK I like some girls as well, but that is purely platonic (bats eyelashes).

People who do good kind acts just because that's the way they are, not for status and not so they can tell everyone about it


Ordinary people, ie not on the telly, I meet who inspire me to be a better person or a more brave person


Slightly elderly gentlemen who smile at me in the street, say good morning, and make me feel like a "young lady" and politeness still exists


and yeah I have a weakness for Northerners too, I think this partly a familiarity thing which is comforting in the isolation of a big city. But I like the dark humour and the bluntness. Northerners are usually better out of the North though.

Totally agree with this, especially the last bit. I too have worked with a lot of Germans whilst living overseas, everyone with impeccable English. (better than mine - LOL)


Although I am in agreement with Mick Mac - French wines are the best (tu)

MM I also like the northerners, great sense of humour and they dont take themselves too seriously. While we are on the subject of the north, love the Northern Irish accent on guys. (sorry girls) Everytime I hear the accent, I feel like I am being serenaded.(sighing rather loudly) I have left my heart in Northern Ireland. (still sighing rather loudly)

    • Unfortunately Nissan was a disaster of a company when it created your car and still is, and most recently created another combined disaster alliance with Renault. Be aware, the trade value on your car is really low as no one wants to do the work & it's often only when it reaches near scrap value that someone (else) is willing to invest (their money) to try and fix. So if you're willing to front the money and fix your car that (you know) then that is most likely your best option (also understanding that it is outrageous that you should have to replace a CVT gearbox after 50K). If that isn't appealing consider a new Skoda Fabia 1.0 (Auto) on finance if you can't afford cash, it will last 20yrs.... (and avoid cars from the Stellantis group)
    • If you are referring to me, I was using my mobile. Just quoting the post I was replying to would have made no sense without showing my original post as well. I wouldn't have been able to do that on a "real PC" either, assuming I carried one around with me everywhere. It's nothing to do with what I'm using, it's the way the forum is set up to quote posts. I did insert a screenshot showing the keyboard by mistake.
    • You have to book for the Sunday roasts in advance. I have bad memories of once going for a circular  walk around Downe and then trying to eat. The Queens Head staff (and customers)  looked at us as if we were mad for attempting to get a meal without booking. The other pub in the village  reeked of bleach.  We had to  drive around in search of a meal, and ended up at some large pub whose name and location  I have thankfully forgotten. All I remember is the food, which was truly awful.
