......... I would probably have never left my room if I'd had the internet. Just a quick question...... Knowing that you spend a lot of time on Fruitcakes and probably other MH forums as well...... Now that you have such easy access to the internet and the "wealth" of images/videos/stories/chatrooms etc available now........ do you actually get out at all from your room now? Dave

There is a great line in the Inbetweeners movie. "I dont think I have ever been on the Internet without having a wank"!

I have become light sensitive so need the curtains drawn all the time. I have also taken up arm wrestling as my right arm bicep is over developed!

It's doing my fucking head in too, and I usually enjoy arguing with them. Just can't be arsed with the same crap every time. The trouble is someone needs to refute the shite they talk, unchallenged it becomes fact. I have been in China for the last week - every time I go the place has moved forward another leap. The introspective prats bleating on about a few Europeans working here should raise their eyes and look at what is really happening out there in the big, wide world. Farage is an irrelevance - Europe needs to be acting as one if there is to be any hope of surviving in any sort of prosperity in the future. Alan

Alan said; 我已經過氣在中國的最後一個星期 - 我每次去的地方已經動了評論又一次飛躍。內省普拉斯咩咩上約了幾個歐洲人在這裡工作的應有水平提高他們的眼睛,看看什麼是真正發生在那裡的大,廣闊的世界。 Farage是一個無足輕重 - 歐洲需要被作為一個,如果有要在任何尚存在未來任何形式的繁榮的希望。
哇,這是艾倫一年是多麼的敏感,晚上的這個時候.....
(Wow, Alan that was an incredibly sensible comment for this time of the night.....)

Alan I think what really gets on my tits about he motorhoming UKIP supporters (and beyond the political arguments over immigration and Europe etc) is that these are the fuckers who go on about how lovely Europe is to travel to, the food is great, blah blah fucking blah and head off to the Continent at the first sign of a cheap ferry ticket! duplicitous fucking twats. anyway I've already voted in the Europeans (postal vote) and guess what - I did NOT vote UKIP! bet you didn't think I'd do that eh??

This is something that always amazes me as well. We are all well traveled and spend half our lives over the water so you would think many of us would loose this "Britain is best" and fear of Johnny Foreigner way of thinking. Mind you I do wonder just how much interaction and cultural experience some of them get. Too busy stuffing the Heinz baked beans, British Bacon and shite Cheddar Cheese from Aldi sat on some naff campsite in the Dordogne to get properly engrossed in a foreign country. Oooh. Bit bitchy?

I have never figured out why Brits remove their brains before landing in a foreign country. I have been highly embarrassed by my own countrymen (and women) many times. In fact I have perfected a German accent so that I can disassociate myself from them. When Germans are acting like pricks, I can drop into a Portuguese accent as they are pretty harmless people.
AND
For Tubbybuddha ....... I have sent off my postal vote and voted UKIP (as did my wife after listening to my pearls of wisdom).

Yes I try to behave myself when I am abroad and go around being particularly nice to foreigners in the forlorn hope that they might all forgive us for being such twats over the centuries. I did however pull a giant Wheelie on a 600 Enduro down the full length of Ipsos sea front in Corfu dressed only in shorts and a Union Flag bandanna. Sadly it wasn't that long ago either.

I do believe I made rather a shitty mess of a couple of bogs in 2 Ipsos nightclubs - not through drink but I had either a touch of sunstroke or eaten some dodgy food (both probably) and my guts decided they wanted to spread their contents through my arse. and my dog - the smell! [bowk] saying that they probably smell the same now 30 years on!

Ipsos is a bit of a dump yet the stretch just north of there up to Kassiopi is possibly one of the most stunning and exclusive parts of Greece.

How they can travel and think as they do always amazes me.
I am uncertain as to who exactly they are against. As fas as I can tell a good few nationalities are exempted from the prejudice, the French, the Germans anyone from Scandanavia and possibly the Spanish, the Portuguese and the Italians don't seem to cop much crap. it seems largely to be restricted to people from the old communist countries.
I have a few Polish friends and many Romanian friends and you couldn't meet nicer, kinder harder working people. They are also generally amazingly honest and moral. I recently tipped a Romanian friend who is a waitress in a restaurant where we stay long term €5 for herself, as she does all the work out front and is rushed off her feet, and another €5 for the tips jar. She wouldn't take any herself and wanted to give me it back. She just insisted, in perfect English of course even though she lives and works in Spain, that it wasn't right. I was embarrassed and felt guilty at having to be corrected, quite rightly, by a scrupulously honest person.
That leads me on to the next annoyance. We motorhomers go abroad regularly yet the huge majority don't speak a word of any language other than English. We are lazy bastards.
