before I went to france I had the image of arrogance etc found them to be great people I think what the brits (generalising here) need to understand is that we kind of create arrogance in others by being numpties I went with my kids and that, from the off spoke to people, engaged in the culture etc and made some friends
No mention of garlic, onions, bicycles, berets or frog's legs? What sort of French-bashing thread is this???
Paris, Berlin, Madrid, DC, Dublin, London - They all have one thing in common - Full of ****s They are also all capital cities but that's beside the point
I know you may think "you would say this wouldn't you" but I've found Dublin to be extremely friendly compared to most other cities. Certainly a world apart from Belfast.
Any Dubliner I have come across has been an ignorant prick. That may be because they don't like Tyrone folk though.
Strange, I would have had quite the opposite experience. Mostly from the cliquey music scene down there. Well dare a northerner start a set in a seisun full of free staters
Yep, I found Dublin very friendly too. Until you got between the locals and tourist burds; it got a lot less friendly very quickly. To cut a long story short, I won, but lost the burd. Apparently Swedish burds don't like men fighting over them. Who woulda thunk that? She lives forever in my **** bank, though.
I was just thinking how we might feel if someone said that about our granddads. Not that I have any grandparents (or parents) alive.
Fight fire with fire. Obviously I have no ill will against his relative, but the bloke needs telling.
