... really? It's that what they have been telling you? Tourist crap? Airlines don't work (as well as everything else), we have more foreign cars than "homemade" ones (btw, gasoline is the most expensive here) and as for the "gorgeous ladies"... well, they are basically television strip-dancers for horribly retarded variety shows... and they all must have sex with someone important by law. And we're also the most backwater country in Europe, thanks to the Church, government-owned TV and left wing extremists being so darn popular... helluva place for immigrants, indeed.SaltyOrange said:My country has the biggest neck-tie...Yes,we're that boring.

They haven't been telling me nothing,I've been to Italy a lot of times myself and the sky slopes are really well maintained.The cars I'm talking about are the really expensive ones mostly made for export.The girls can't all be strip-dancers,that's just generalization on your part.Adrian Madhog said:... really?

OT: I'm from Belgium. We haven't had a federal government for about a year now. This is some kind of record, apparently. It's no big deal, because we still have about 5 governments left.
Our constitution states that we do, in fact, have two native languages, finnish and swedish. It also states that you ought to recieve service in the one that's listed as your mother tounge.
Problem is, you're bound to get yourself a beatdown if you speak swedish in certain areas... Go Finland!

Despite being a large part of Scottish national identity, neither kilts nor bagpipes were actually invented in Scotland.
Kilts are usually credited as an Irish invention, and bagpipes are recorded as being used by the pre-Roman Persians, nearly 1,000 years before their adoption by the Scots.
