    If you were propositioned by a deranged criminal mastermind, who is about to launch a weapon of mass destruction, what your least favoured country is what would your answer be?

    Neither of those, anyway.

    Is Fianna Fáil a country? Other than that the Vatican.

    There is no better feeling then punching a Frenchman. But evaporating France? A masterstroke.

    Living and working in France, great job, great food.


    Not at all veiled "I've got a job while half of Ireland is on the dole".

    What about fondue? It's a big pile of cheese melted with white wine in it. What's not to love? :)

    France gave us the wine, the champagne and Paris. Italians gave us pizza and the mafia..
    I like pizza.

    Ah no. Not France and Italy :(
    Spain no bother, but not France or Italy. They're the best.

    I love foreigners, but I hate when they talk all foreign.

    Yeah, tax is bad.

    Maybe you should go to a country where no-one pays tax, I hear Somalia is nice at this time of year.

    Only property tax is bad. Pay the govt to let you live in your house, next you'll have to pay them each time you pull your own knob. If you're going to a tax haven you might as well go for a nice one. Cayman islands or some place, hang out with the boys who run Apple and Google

    More corrupt than Ireland though? You could end up paying your abolished property taxes to the Camorra instead. :D

    Italy, payback for WWII

    In fairness considering their incompetence they were more of a help to the Allies than they were to the Axis powers.

    Better than paying it to the crowd here. Im sure the camorra do more work to earn their money. I'd rather hand the money to a risk taking criminal with a dash of lunacy about him than some dull braindead Irish career politician from a dynasty who just wants to buy another new Ford Mondeo next year and implement the latest serving of bureaucratic slop eminating from the EU

    having been all over both countries countless times i'd choose Italy without a doubt. The French people are great once you get to know them . They play up to being assholes because they know they have an international reputation for it and they are very funny people. Character wise they're surprising similar to the Irish. I'd go so far as to say their sense of humour is more closer to the irish that the English to the irish. The Italians on the other hand are annoying and vain and as thick as bricks. They are useless at picking up foreign languages and are culturally ignorant and Italian food within Italy is brutal. Also French women are classy while Italian women are trashy. Annecy my favourite place in the world is also in France to and I couldn't cope with that place being reduced to ash!

    Leave The Alps alone and blast away everything around them.

    It sounds like an opinion generated solely from watching jersey shore pseudo-Italians. Real life ones I met were salt of the earth
