Culture differences and varied throughout the whole world. Some countries have unique customs that are found only in the region. Some may prove to be a culture shock to outsiders. Does anyone know of some in their own country or in others? I'll start off weird quirks in countries with this link: Only in London will you find people guaranteed to keep their promises :lol: http://www.thisislondon.com/news/articles/16449119?source=PA |

thats insain. I ended up drinking with an irish rugby team when i was in amsterdam last year. They made me an honorary member and I sang 'you are my sunshine' with them. I split off when i couldnt afford the 40 euro enterance to the sex bar they dragged me to. Thats my only experience with rugby people so far.

European fans especially Rugby/Soccer fans are CRAZY... I thought the Jets football team fans were bad, and obnoxious, and vulger... then I went to a Manchester United Soccer game, and I have never experienced anything like it, and the best word I can use is "interesting" |

Rugby is the best sport ever. It's not bad, certainly. Was a better game, say, November 2003 (give or take  ). And you'se gonna lose tomorrow in the 6 Nations! Tom |

A went to several soccer games in Florence last year. My favorite part is how they give everyone in the audience Roman Candles before the game. I couldnt believe it. Over here that would end up in a law suit so fast. I would say on a whole, european fans are much crazier than american.
on a side note, i hate Raiders fans.

HOLLAND, Mich. (AP) - A man was fined $600 and put on probation for throwing an Egg McMuffin at a McDonald's restaurant manager after he said he didn't get what he ordered.
Scott Rodgers, 46, was convicted Thursday of misdemeanor assault and battery. Besides probation, he was sentenced to three days in a work program and a fine and is banned from the McDonald's.
Authorities said Rodgers and his 6-year-old son stopped to get four Egg McMuffins with ham on Oct. 9 but returned to the service window to complain that at least one of the sandwiches had sausage.
County prosecutor Craig Bunce said that when the shift manager asked him to give the sandwich back, he threw it through the window at her.
``The manager was picking egg out of her hair,'' he said.
Rodgers' attorney said he did not throw the sandwich, but rather returned it quickly.

Rarely has Flatulence been turned to advantage, as with a Frenchman referred to as "Le Petomane," who became affluent as an effluent performer who played tunes with the gas from his rectum on the Moulin Rouge stage.

After losing to the Welsh, you're expecting England to roll the French? Not likely  ... That said, the Six Nations is just a warm-up for the main event – Lions Tour to NZ! |

That site is simply awesome. With these surplus Chernobyl babies (exposed to harmless Gamma Radiation at birth) you'll never run out of fun, watch the babies develop extrordinary powers. What will the baby do next: become invisible, develop super-human strength, be able to control animals with only a thought, grow an extra limb or just disolve into a puddle of radiactive goo. Who knows, no one can guess, but it's fun to try. Gimme one of those! :lol: |

After losing to the Welsh, you're expecting England to roll the French? Not likely ... That said, the Six Nations is just a warm-up for the main event – Lions Tour to NZ! *Ahem* France vs Scotland last week */Ahem.* We've got good chances, especially with the French back row so under-strength (at least, I think they still are!). Am looking forward to the Lions Tour, though, it ought to be interesting to watch with so many players coming through from Ireland and Wales. Tom |
