i think Saffron made a good point...in general, there's a natural reticence about personal life, self-deprecating humour, the inability to embarrass anyone, and a great national pride as well. when Bothwell is over here i have to translate for him with the mush-mouth southerners and rude new yorkers. they think the accent indicates snobbery. not so.

In my opinion "one" of the few things they are experts in doing, is thinking about Sex (e.g. A purversed attitude towards sex), getting drunk (so that they dont have to hold an intelligent conversation), and make all other RACES feel like their not even worthy of themselves..

More importantly, "PORTRAYING AN ENORMOUS ACT OF ARROGANCE AND UN-NECCESSARY PRIDE!!").

There is a lot more to life then just Sex. (As per "most" Women)

Love "aint" all about sex "or" colour "or" sexual organ sizes. It includes things like, 'being caring', and 'nice' to others as well (Not only "YOURSELVES"), and MIXING IN (interacting) witrh 'everyone'...

HINT: Learning from others, might be a good starting point..

"What would you do without us? ("Indians are treated like crap in the UK, when most of the UK's economy is actaully brought up by us")

Trust me, people here wouldn't be where they are today, if it werent for us !!!

The "only" bad thing Indians have ever done, is, won their country's independence, thats all, and ever since, people have always been pinched in one way or another of us!!

Whenever, the brits travel abroad, they are treated like Kings and Queens, but in their own country as a form of appreciation treat people like "S**t".

I really fail to understand that.

In my opinion, people should start working harder, so that, they can (equally) keep their families, friends, partners etc etc etc happy, just like we do, and drop the arrogance that sometimes, 'if not' all the time people seem to think will get them far!! And lastly LEARN a 'thing or two' from external influences..

Trust me, one of the main reasons why people dont really get too far in life here, is purely because of what they are like and how they are brought up..

Oh My God ! This is what Ive been trying to say all along !!! Frickin Brits, Scots, Irish, Polish, German, Swede, Norweigan, Russian, Chezk, Portugese, Morroccan, Cambodian, Korean, Japanese, Argentinan, Ecuadorian, Peruian, Columbian, Canadian................BASTARDS ! All a bunch of no good bastards ! Man that felt good

Anglo-Saxon emotion, The British display: "Holding you like this I feel something I don't quite understand quivering deep within me somehow, and yet not quite within me, but quivering. You make me cracker-pullingly carol-singingly happy in a way I've never felt before, and yet strangely flat. Charles darling, say that we'll always come together like this, tell me it's the same for you too, this quivering? Charles, wake up, I'm talking to you."

I'd bet money on it.

Odds?
