    Most 'Israelis' I've met are Australian or American.

    Surely you mean American or Russian?

    A lot of people who spend far too much time on social media and spouting their almost worthless opinions on sites like Boards and Reddit are truly miserable.

    Social media isn’t social, and it’s making a large percentage of its ‘customers’ very miserable indeed. Depressed and full of anxiety even. Using your phone for more than an hour or two a day should be a huge red flag to be honest. Ruining the old dopamine system, and you’ll probably spend time in anonymous addiction support groups for it in the future.

    What a complete load of auld bollox !

    Was sitting beside an drunk old cockney man a few years ago on the tube.

    After I sat beside him he muttered "you Bo#ick my Panda mince"

    I said "Huh?"

    He then piped up very loudly " you are sitting on my Panda mince"

    I stood up and looked at the seat where I was sitting, there was a very small bag of mince on the seat......about a poundful.

    =(:-) Me? I know who I am. I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude (-:)=

    Finnish people. Just odd and a bizarre looking bunch, especially the women

    Took out a Finnish corporate visitor for a drink once back in the day...

    Ordered drinks which came to our table....I clinked glasses with him and said "Cheers" !

    "Look" he said...."I came out drink....not to make small talk".!

    It was a long evening......

    I was in Tallinn on a Friday evening, all quiet he next thing the place was packed, all the Finns over for the weekend off the ferry for cheap beer, Good God some animals for the drink, find them polite and good fun, both thete and other places I have met them...

    Most east European countries are miserable, maybe not so much Slovenia.. I briefly passed through Croatia again this summer, still ignorant as f##k (women are stunning).

    Finns don't do small talk. A Finnish friend of mine is always unnerved and uncomfortable when you ask him how he is.
    He says in Finland, people only ask you that when a relative dies.

    They are great people though, very like the Irish.

    Immigration officials and customers officers. Very disagreeable human beings indeed.

    When everyone around you seems hostile and unfriendly, you might be doing something to p!ss them off.

    I found Parisians friendly and polite.
    Tipperary and Kilkenny people are generally friendly and nice.
    I was in Hungary in the early nineties when I was a kid. I had a friend who was black and thought the people there were weird with him. I was a bit dismissive of that until I got ice cream with him one day. 'She was looking at us like we had six heads,' I said. 'Yeah...' he said pointedly, and I got it then. So I guess some Hungarians were rude around black people around then
    Don't remember much else about them.
    Most eastern Europeans I know are nice and fun (with Polish and Turkish people making up the majority of them).
    The marching type of Northern Irish people seem pretty dour though alright.

    Australians. Painfully ignorant and racist. Other than that bunch of useless bastards, the rest of the world is good.

    Thing is, a lot of Irish people are outgoing and cheerful. It puts some foreign people off. My fiance once rolled down a hill in a park next to a bunch of Polish people. Her trousers fell off, but the foreigners didn't even blink. Irish people would have been hooting with laughter. I asked a Polish girl about this and she said that the Polish are miserable bastards.
