Have you "Done" Europe?

[Santa]

I have met many western travellers who where "Doing" Europe (mostly accompanied with a J.Keroak novel).
My ponder of this fine evening is
Have you "Done" Europe?
and
so
How was it?

I'd Do Manker ~

[clocker]

For several years I spent time in Europe during racing season.

It's almost as good as Disneyland what with the shorter lines and all.

[S!X]

Wow, manker's a fan favorite :blink:

[BigBank_Hank]

I spent 14 days in France and I had the time of my life. The majority of the time I spent in Paris exploring the city. I also took trips to Versailles, Giverny to see the works of Claude Monet to see where he lived and painted, and also to the Normandy coast where the landing beaches were for WWII.

I meet lots of great people while there. One night my sister and I took a boat tour of the Seine River where I meet a guy from Ireland and we proceeded to get drunk as hell. I think I can honestly say that I’ve never heard the F bomb so many times in one night. We had a blast.

I have many great memories from that trip but one of my favorites is sitting in a little café along the Champs Elysses and having a glass a wine just soaking it all in. We sat there from quite some time just enjoying all of the surroundings.

An American Republican in France and I loved every second.

[Skiz]

I went to Germany and Switzerland a few years back. A lot of the Germans were quite snooty, but the Swiss were nothing short of wonderful. The landscape, Zermatt, etc. was breath-taking. I would not go back to Germany if I revisited that part of the world.

I did get a kick out of everyone recognizing my Texas accent and asking if I drove a "pick-up truck", had horses, and lived on a ranch. They also wondered if Texas had paved roads. :lol:

After about the fifth time I was asked these questions, I decided I would let them have their fantasy. :lookaroun

[Proper Bo]

I've never left Europe:dabs:

[twisterX]

good for you.its boring in the us.

[Proper Bo]

yeah, I guessed there's not much to do:dabs:

[clocker]

Isn't it ironical?
We have all the money and you have all the cool places to spend it.

Maybe we could invent something...call it say, tourism...and we'll come over there and slather our cash around and ya'll can charm us with your Old World ways and dirndls and such.
Then we'll buy up all your old stuff, ship it to our castles in California and laze around on the beach.

I could be on to something.

How dare you speak to us this way! Who do you think you are you petty little bottom dwelling colonist? You will show the utmost respect which we deserve from the likes of you!

But of course, we are talking about your government, not you. We don't judge.

[clocker]

K.

I knew you meant that in a nice way.

[HeavyMetalParkingLot]

K.

Obviously.

Sorry if it was too subtle for you, you lesser individual. :lol:

[clocker]

That doesn't mean it didn't hurt though.

'Mericans are very sensitive.

[HeavyMetalParkingLot]

Wow, I am always in awe of you filthy Americans ability to "dish it out" but your inability to take it in return. Must have something to do with your inferior education base and poor health care services. Fat and stupid, amazing.

Now obviously I did not mean to critize Americans, I merely mean your government.

[clocker]

I'm picking up a wee bit of sarcasm now aren't I?

[HeavyMetalParkingLot]

I'm picking up a wee bit of sarcasm now aren't I?

And why do you Americans insist on using the letter "s". Real English uses the letter "z". Stupid Americans and your bastardization of the English language.

[clocker]

"Zarcasm"?

[manker]

See, now you're stereotyping with your implication - the very thing that your clumsy aim has in its cross-hair.

Ironic.

Anyhow, I'm not one to hold a grudge - here, hmpl, borrow my towel to dry your back.

[HeavyMetalParkingLot]

"Zarcasm"?

Take your subpar American humour to McDonald's you fat assed American swine.

But of course I love the American people, it's just your government that everyone hates.

[HeavyMetalParkingLot]

See, now you're stereotyping with your implication - the very thing that your clumsy aim has in its cross-hair.

No stereotyping involved whatsoever. Everything I said has been in fact said by citizens of the UK here on this very board.

Your racist remark has made me cry, we are a very sensitive people you know. :lol:

Anyhow, 'wetback' is a term I only learned recently (honestly!), thank you for allowing me to indulge.

Are you sure that linking to a Harry Potter thread was your best tactical move?

I was gonna crack a subtly joke, but gave up as I don't understand...:lol: stupid Americans. I was just pointing to the words "stupid Americans" 4 or 5 posts into the thread.

Let me see, I've done Spanish, French, Italian, English, Scottish, Welsh, Dutch, Polish, Greek, Finnish and German....was he German? Yes, i think he was...

Never done an American though. Put off by that cheap nasal whine that passes for a voice....

[Yogs]

I once did America the way Americans do Europe....

I felt a tad overwhelmed by the fact all Americans kept asking how i was doing.

What in a turbid trove of Texican terminology does that mean.


Thanks for highlighting exactly why you are stereotyping - you were not parodying Peerzy - who is the only member who seriously thinks Americans are fucking stupid - since he never qualifies his statements with 'I mean your govt'.

Others do that, myself included probably - Rat Faced definitely, when confronted with a particular American whining about how we're always picking on them when all we're doing is bashing the foreign policy, or whatever.

So, at the very least you were generalising UK FST users' attitude to Americans, at worst you were stereotyping a nation. As I say, it's ironic since it's the very thing you were attempting to deride :smilie4:

[Blythorama]

Americans are fucking stupid whining Americans




Told you. :ph34r:

Awright, but it was 18 years ago.......:)

"How ya doin" is actually just American code for "Fuck off and die".
Didn't you read the guidebook?

No, obviously i missed that part..........:cry:

But now it all makes sense.

Allways when i was ready to answer: Well, i.... They were allready gone.....

Even when i was laying next to a path at Gran Canyon, clearly suffering....:cry:

[Buffalo]

I once went to Belgium with my bro, we both got arested, later to be released without charge, I had my UK Gov Id on me & it was spat on whilst being interrogated.
Belgium is a beautiful place with it's architecture,
but I don't think they like tourists ~ BAH

[manker]

I hope they made you pay.....

Because after all, fat chicks need love to, but they have to pay!

They payed me. After all, all English girls are sluts....Quite.

In my esteemed opinion, it kinda makes up for the aforementioned Englishness :happy:

[Cheese]

I used to live in Germany.

We get a lot of American tourists here in Plymouth for some reason. None of the ones I have met have been whining and stupid.

[Blythorama]

They payed me. After all, all English girls are sluts....Quite.

In my esteemed opinion, it kinda makes up for the aforementioned Englishness :happy:

Although, in true English fashion, I demanded payment in chips and cheap cider. :lol:

My body is yours already, apparently. :ph34r:

I only put out for confectionary worth less than 20p

[clocker]

I've recently had a revelation.
You see, when in England I don't recall ever seeing any females at all.
Since Camilla and Charles recent visit I now realize that our definitions of "woman" are just radically different.

No wonder English men were so anxious to go on Crusades and the like.

[Barbarossa]

Oh I thought that was for the duty-free. :blink:

[thewizeard]

clocker, maybe I have an interesting offer..a sort souvenir...erm... would you be interested in acquiring the Eiffel Tower for in your back garden? It's going for asnip...only 50 million $

I tend to a avoid the local women mostly because I have a girlfriend now and partly because of the fear of catching "janner".:ph34r:

[clocker]

Does that include shipping?

[manker]

I've recently had a revelation.
You see, when in England I don't recall ever seeing any females at all.So England renders your mind totally devoid of any visual recollection of the female form. Interesting.

Mayhap that's why there are so many benders living there.

No, no. I never have - and never will - have any English in me.

Swansea - good surf
Kitzbuhel - better in the summer
Venice - only when theres the Art Bienalle
Berlin - everything but requires a certain taste
Firenze - cute but speedy
Stockholm - better than Oslo (doesnt say much)

I lived in Laren for four years, when i worked at Hoog-Laren en de Stichtse Hof.

Het paard was my second home.

It lost some of it's charm when the previous owners left, though....

Nowadays i come there when i am in the neighborhood; a lot of my friends

and customers live in 't Gooi....

And btw., i only live about 25 km. from laren......

[Santa]

hmmm.... my parents live there :snooty:
i feel a future visit is vital
but not until sometime next year

i have only been in the place twice - would add new dimension to "family visits".
