    I'm Irish but if I had to chose another nationality I think I'd like to be Icelandic.

    Nice country, straightforward, hardworking people, fairly liberal in terms of same sex marraige, free modern society etc.

    Oh ya and the soccer team is a pretty cool one to support!

    Probably Dutch. They're a bit of craic but get **** done at the same time.

    Brazilian - “Catholics who know how to throw a party” is almost a contradiction in terms :D

    I'm British but if I had to chose, I'd go for Canadian. Cracking bunch of people and a beautiful country.

    Because north Korea is best Korea

    So much wrong with this!

    Eskimos, as they prefer to be known, do not keep penguins as pets. They use them as fuel due to their high combustibility.

    In fact 9/10 igloos being burned down are due to penguin fires being left unattended.

    Have you ever tried to set a penguin on fire ?

    I'm not an Eskimo with easy access to herds of penguins. By all the accounts I read by people called Nanuck, and the like, they are nature's firelighters.

    Another for Dutch. Super craic and really efficient. Like Germans but without the superiority complex and with a sense of humour.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 229 ✭✭Mr.Maroon


    German.
    I always have good craic when I'm over there.

    I'm pretty sure it is.

    For looks, Persian.
    For interesting lifestyle, Tibetan or Mongolian shaman/nomad.
    For height, Dutch.
    For brain power, Korean.
    For inscrutability, Balkan.
    For speed, Kenyan.
    For longevity, Hunza.


    I would be a combined super human.

    I'm 100% sure it isn't. Find me a picture of an English passport and I might believe you.

    Global warming has meant that it's now too expensive to make igloos from ice. Instead they have to use petrol soaked plastic boxes, the ones that were previously used to ship dynamite.
