Origin of foreigners...

I've always had a talent of knowing what country people are from before I talk to them.

1. Polish - I can always tell Polish males because when they're talking to someone they lean on their front leg to sort of tower over them. They're also especially fond of tucking their tshirts into their tight jeans!

2. Germans - they look happier than the rest of us, and a lot of them tend to curl in their lower lip towards their upper teeth.

3. British - lager lager lager

4. Americans - Old Americans try to dress young and have that whole "Bob, did you bring the camera?" disposition about them. Those in their 30's and 40's can usually be identified by facial hair and the college Josh's etc etc are usually identified with the hats and massive shorts.

5. French Spanish and Italians - the younger ones tend to be very meticulous about their looks.

What about you?

Swedish - (males) Tall, long blond hair, gay looking, with expensive weird gay dress style. Also very arrogent

Krook · 15-10-2005 2:07pm

romanians-black leather jackets, golden tooth , look like their up to no good.

nigerians- obvious really and always seem to want to crash their cheapo cars into you.

lativans and llithuanians - blond , shaved head , think thyre cool and all the girls love em and drive big ´manly` cars

Riamfada · 15-10-2005 2:36pm

Irish - Compared to every other nation they look like Donkeys.

Donkey Nation imo

jetsonx · 15-10-2005 2:58pm

French - walk around the place complaining about this little country of ours....

Dutch - they just walk around the place talking in their Sean Connery accents...

Italians- loud loud loud.

Germans - walk around in hi-tech rain jackets looking to find "ze crach"

Spanish - currenly hold the Guninness Book of Record title for "the most people at one bus stop"

Americans - usually to found on Nassau St. with Celtic Note and Kilkenney bags in their hands until they clamber onboard a coach to go Glendalough or somewhere else touristy.

Latvians - usually found driving around in all black Audis , BMW's or VW Passats....when we were immigrants arrived on the mailboats!

Swedes - they just drive around in Ireland in their Volvos listening to ABBA looking for an IKEA....

(the last one is an exaggeration)

nobodythere · 15-10-2005 3:02pm

Wow, jetson, is there any country in the world who's national past-time isn't 'walking around the place'

Dub13 · 15-10-2005 3:07pm

Swedish males over 30 all look like 1980s porn stars,not that I have seen many 80s blue movies.

Outcast · 15-10-2005 3:53pm

Italians-will stare in a very dirty and disturbing way at anything with breasts.

bombidol · 15-10-2005 5:40pm

Russians and Ukranians = Shaved heads + Leather Jackets. that is all.

Dyr · 15-10-2005 5:49pm

I like the romanian looking dudes who hang around outside dr quirkeys, with the black leather jacekts/slip on shoes combo that was de rigeur for a 1980s confirmation suit nicely set off with tracksuit bottoms and permafrowns. THATS a hardcore look. Aint no need to f*** with them at all to quote Richard Pryor

Triton · 15-10-2005 5:53pm

Swedish men - Luke Goss look-a-likes.

Quality!

Actually, I'm the worst judge on ethnicity. I can look at a Japanese person and think they're Chinese or vice versa... Or at a Filipino person and think they're Japanese... etc etc...

:rolleyes:

Brian Beag · 15-10-2005 6:25pm

You guys aren't racist..

nobodythere · 15-10-2005 6:34pm

Didn't say we had anything against these people :P

No, it's not being racist. We're just saying that certain ethnicities can be known by a certain physical feature or something.

No harm meant.

aidan_walsh · 15-10-2005 7:37pm

Pighead is happy Pighead lives in the Pale then?

In other news, free white robes and pointy masks were given out in the After Hours section of a website today...

nobodythere · 15-10-2005 7:37pm

Way to impress the mods Pighead...

I'll have you for dinner...

LOL.
MeMaw, MeMaw, MeMaw! Freeze ya lousy racists! Its the PEECEE police! Face against the wall NOW you scum if you don't want a rap of this <Brandishes "Irish Times" in one hand and a nightstick in the other>.

edit...
I find it impossible to tell where people are from - the general part of the world perhaps but no more. Sometimes I try to spot the Irish people on the bus for a laugh, but all the people who I think are Irish are usually Eastern European (I can only tell if they happen to fire up their mobiles).

scuba steve · 15-10-2005 9:39pm

You can usually notice Russians, Germans, Italians, Americans, Spaniards and English

Tiriel · 15-10-2005 10:33pm

This thread is racist.

nobodythere · 16-10-2005 2:08pm

No it's NOT!

base2 · 16-10-2005 2:09pm

So saying that all Nigerians look like monkeys is non racist is it?

16-10-2005 2:27pm

I can usually spot muck savages at 20 yards.

Irish - Can often be identified by their thinly veiled racist remarks.

Dyr · 16-10-2005 2:58pm

Its okay lads i reported a racist remark on this thread last night, undoubtedly the powers that be are coiled to spring into action and ensure that no-one on boards will compare a nationality or ethnic group to an animal again. I mean it could start with Irish people being called donkeys but end with nigerians being called monkeys :mad:

yes, the powers that be...spiringing sloooowly into action to prevent this class of thing:rolleyes:

Sarky · 16-10-2005 3:01pm

Reporting posts and being sarcastic about it won't get you any favors.

Dyr · 16-10-2005 5:44pm

Sorry Sor, I'll be sure to touch my cap next time sor.

I'm not looking for a favour. The fact that you think that moderation of a topic equates to "favour's" is interesting though. One takes it there is'nt a problem with equating a nationality to an animal then?

Piste · 16-10-2005 5:51pm

I saw nocomparisons of anyone to Monkeys

Pitseleh · 16-10-2005 6:42pm

Easy to identify some Irish anyway - The wonderful use of "I'm not racist... but..."

I wasn't talking about the moderation of the topic when I said favours. I've looked through the topic and maybe you should calm down a little and stop being so sarcastic.
