Sorry, Smiles, I couldn't resist (from a review of Windows new operating system, Vista - and I know Smiles is still on Windows 95 - perhaps that new computer in Hua Hin ...):Quote:
Mossberg makes the "pleasant," "efficient" Vista sound less like a "wow moment" than a passable bore тАФ the Canada of operating systems

More Canadian snowbirds in Florida this time of year than in Ottowa. Do you know the capital city of Canada?

Cheers ...

Surely a passing reference to Hau Hin doesn't count and surely discussions of racial hatred have no place in this forum.
Where's our immoderate moderator?.....oh, he's already contributed to the thread above! :blackeye:
More to the point it was the Moderator who moved it from where I started it - in the Global Forum. Jinks is getting more and more "I did it my way" these daysQuote:

some of my best friends are Canadians. There was a hot movie about the Royal Canadian Mounties by Cadinot, a few years back
or were they lumberjacks? A lot of American still go to Montreal when they want to see hot guys and have a ball.
probably about time to close this thread or move it back to where it came from.. :cat:
... as clutching at straws
Explain please: "racial hatred"?? Where, by whom, etc etc etcQuote:

Ok....Quote:

Not that I give a damn about either you Canucks or Yankees - I was just having a pop at jinks via Homintern! :blackeye:

"American" and "Canadian" are races???Quote:

Yes, yes you are correct. It was just a cheap jibe. I forgot that the pedants take everything so seriously.Quote:

I never knew they did!
Floridians hate Canadians because they bring their colds south in snow-bird season cause long lines at the the liquor stores while looking for bargain booze and fill up all the bars in at (2-for-1) happy-hour, all the cheap restaurants, Senior Citizen Early-bird-special, Fried Crocodile & Catfish You Can Eat Buffets--Rather like old-fart ex-pats in Pattaya.
Now; why do Kiwi's hate Ozzies? :dontknow:
For precisely the same reason, Edith - sublimated fear expressed as envy of the big neighbour next door. In both places the smaller country (by population) obsesses endlessly about its neighbour, while the larger has better things to do and barely thinks about the otherQuote:

Thats unfair Kiwis do not hate AustraliaQuote:

Interesting idea, thanks. (I'd begun to think I was on your shi...er... Ignore list.)Quote:

I just, Sphinx like, said, "Really?"
'Singing the Kiwi National Anthem,' I suppose the Ozzies can endure--So long as the Kiwis don't bring along
their national birds.
I don't believe the British hate everyone--Well, not all the British are brutish, anyway--they just think they're better than--And the 'others,' as per homi, 'Have better things to do and barely think about the Brits' -- And can't be bothered to disabuse them of their delusions.
'The Belgians are bigger in almost every way...the Dutch produce more cheeses and are flat.'
Now, that's really funny!
But one must think you've been having it on with the wrong Belgique and Dutchmen...or, maybe, the right ones?
This is an urban myth that Lonely Wombat is perpetuating. NZers who go to Australia after the mid-nineties are not entitled to any Australian social security benefits - and certainly not the dole - unless they travel as immigrants rather than long-term tourists with an automatic, indefinite right to workQuote:
