Well My friend came back from UK few days ago, has mixed feelings about the country…guess he got sick after eating an egg…they say it carries some disease…dunno ([size=1][color=dimgray]psymiline something?:-s[/color][/size]) …anyway i was with him today and heard him whining about all that and still simply in love with few things about UK…so it was confusing to me…as i am also going to migrate to UK in a couple of months now, so i was listening carefully…then in a mix of things i thought about starting a thread like this, anything on the face of the earth is’nt perfect, so lets share what you like and dislike about your countries, it’d give the viewers more knowledge about rest of the world which he/she may visit or not in his lifetime.
I hope this thread is not counted as spam and gets good support, also i wud’nt like to be moved to Ordered, coz for me Ordered=boring, serious discussion, for those who know me personally knows that i am way off from that

I’ve been in England this week and I’ve had to smile while people ask me why am I cold, am I not from Scotland, that they’ve tried Haggis or ordering beer from a bar to be asked “Shouldn’t you be drinking whisky”)

Marc Dutroux is a Belgian who took children with him, put them in his basement, raped them, let them die of starvation or murdered them. Wim Durdin and Yoko Maesen took their child to the park, tried to break it’s neck, stabbed it with a knife and buried it in the park. They just went home and watched Big Brother for the rest of the evening. And Gellingen is the place where the gas blast recently occured.
