Splodgenessabounds Posted July 13, 2009 #51 Share Posted July 13, 2009 (edited) why did u highlight the irish, i wasent talking about them.lol.lol. trying to be petty.lol.lol.lol.lol. funny the irish get welcomed everywhere, so they mustant be that bad. You said the Irish can't be that bad, I'm just showing where the world's hoteliers rank them in the list. Nothing petty about it at all. You can't disregard the opinions of hoteliers as just statistics, they have more experience and knowledge when it comes to tourists than you or I because they deal with their virtues and vices on a daily basis. To view their opinions as meaningless is just plain ignorance. Edited July 13, 2009 by Splodgenessabounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronGhost Posted July 13, 2009 Author #52 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I love the irish! Drinkin', fightin, laughin', they're always fun to hang with. How could you not like em? Their women are absolutely gorgeous. Firey red hair with emerald green eyes and a firey temper to boot. They're like wildcats, if I could pick my nationality, it'd probly be Irish. Well, you've obviously never been to Liechtenstein! You talk about your boozing, brawling, howling-with-laughter fun-lovin' crazy hoots -- that's the Liechtensteiner!! Their women have poutry red lips, red as pomegranits and soft as pillow cushions! The Liechtenstein women are so lovely and charming with their hour-glass figures and breathy charm, you'll forget Ireland in a heartbeat, or after your first flaggon of home-brewed Liechtenstein lager with a Liechetenstein goddess sitting on your lap and stroking the back of your neck. The Irish women may be like wildcats, but the Liechtenstein women are like Begal tigers on steroids. The Liechtenstein men are tall, muscular, charming, honest, good sports, courteous and generous. If I could pick my nationality, if would probably be Liechtenstein!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splodgenessabounds Posted July 13, 2009 #53 Share Posted July 13, 2009 (edited) From my travels I'd have to say the Italians are the best. I always try and speak the lingo when I go abroad (because I'm a nice, polite englishman abroad) and whenever I'm having a bit of trouble they will always lend a hand. That's true of most nations, but the Italians won't give up until you've got a phrase 100% perfect, they're top when it comes to making a tourist feel welcome. Spain are second, the USA third. Although with the americans i have to teach them how to speak english properly. *ducks and runs* Only joking.

Splodgenessabounds Posted July 14, 2009 #57 Share Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) this is another reason i supose just not accepting it exists a arguing it to death, were not were not were not. we are loved,lol,lol,lol I'm not saying the english are perfect, if you read the last bit of my post with the list (which I'm assuming you didn't), I said that europe consider us the worst tourists. I accept that as much as I accept that we're generally very highly regarded in the eyes of the entire world. When I've been to europe, as I've said previously, they said the loved the english. They might have just been polite, as you alluded to in your post but I'm not prepared to slander the whole of Europe as two-faced, as I've also said it depends on who you talk to. Maybe the guys I spoke to hadn't witnessed the bad side of us. I have a theory on why we english are poorly regarded in europe but popular when it comes to the world as a whole. The majority of englishmen who go to europe are of the 18-30 'drink as much as you can' type holiday makers (remember I said the majority, not all, just in case any english here feel compelled to defend themselves). The 18-30 DAMAYC's are drunk as soon as they arrive off the plane and don't sober up until they land back in england, now one thing we can both agree on is the english not being the most civilised of people when drunk. So it's reasonable they get up to a lot of drunken mischief which upsets the locals, giving us a bad rep. Plus the europeans, especially the french, are still hung up over France '98 and that's understandable. With the rest of the world though, it costs a lot more to travel than the EasyJet £30 return ticket trips to europe, so there isn't a lot of money left over for non-stop boozing, and a sober englishman is a lot more polite and curteous than a drunken one. Also, one the nations concerning the rest of the world is the USA, and an englishman could run over an american's grandmother and still be liked, and we gave them The Beatles. A special relationship indeed. Now these are generalizations, but there is a certain amount of truth to them.

Spain are second, the USA third. Yeah I know I think that's what puts me off Italy. Spain's good and the the language is easy, it's basically english.. except withe the letter 'o' on the end.
