Good point, and while we are being racist why don't we mention them all, the ones with bad teeth who are alcoholics, the ones that smell of curry and work at the convenience store and the ones with towels on their heads.

One thing I've noticed is there seems to be less dog turds in public places over here. I don't miss walking through dog-shite minefields cleverly disguised as public parks.

Agreed.

Hate the car dependance in Oz.
In the UK, it's the yobs that bug me.

I'm surprised none mentioned this; high taxes.

- PC Bullshit. I'm glad I can speak my mind and people don't condemn every word coming out of my mouth.

- Fat People. Its really, really disgusting, and I'm always looking around like a tourist when I go home.

- Irrelevant Conversation. When people want to talk to me, they'll use my language. When they're going on and on about irrelevant bullshit, they'll speak in a language I can ignore all too easily.

Paris is the exact opposite. Dog bombs fucking EVERYWHERE! It's like a new Olympic event: the doggy doo hop-skip-and-jump

The ones with turbans are the Sikhs, are they not?

I was just mentioning that my friend from Vancouver hates them. But I don't.

'First Nations', though, I am glad to not have to put up with them while I am here.
