So here is some stuff what we (the beer-drinking, short leather trousers-wearing, bavarian looking, cuckoo-clock-owning

Germans) think of other nations:

-it is a fact that the Brits have to get up early to beat us to the sunbeds on vacation

- the French eat frogs
- the whole Netherlands smells like cheese
- the Italians are gay and are working as hairdressers
- everybody in the Netherlands owns a caravan

I could continue endlessly

I think this sums up most stereotypical views quite well!!!

On a beautiful deserted island in the middle of nowhere, the following people are stranded:

2 Italian men and 1 Italian woman

2 French men and 1 French woman

2 German men and 1 German woman

2 Greek men and 1 Greek woman

2 English men and 1 English woman

2 Polish men and 1 Polish woman

2 Japanese men and 1 Japanese woman

2 American men and 1 American woman

2 Australian men and 1 Australian woman

2 New Zealand men and 1 New Zealand woman

2 Irish men and 1 Irish woman

One month later, the following things have occurred:

One Italian man killed the other Italian man for the Italian woman.

The two French men and the French woman are living happily together having loads of sex.

The two German men have a strict weekly schedule of when they alternate with the German woman.

The two Greek men are sleeping with each other and the Greek woman is cleaning and cooking for them.

The two English men are waiting for someone to introduce them to the English woman.

The Polish men took a long look at the endless ocean and one look at the Polish woman and they started swimming.

The two American men are contemplating the virtues of suicide, while the American woman keeps on bitching about her body being her own, the true nature of feminism, how she can do everything that they can do, about the necessity of fulfillment, the equal division of household chores, how her last boyfriend respected her opinion and treated her much nicer and how her relationship with her mother is improving. But at least the taxes here are low and it is not raining.

The two Japanese men have faxed Tokyo and are waiting for instructions.

The two Australian men beat each other senseless fighting over the Australian woman, who is checking out all the other men, after calling them both 'bloody idiots".

Both New Zealand men are searching the island for sheep.

The Irish began by dividing the island into North and South and setting up a distillery. They do not remember if sex is in the picture because it gets sort of foggy after the first few litres of coconut whiskey, but they are satisfied in that at least the English aren't getting any.

No way, there's too much testosterone out there! You did not listen during the history lesson, did you?

Ah, Chris, you failed to mention anything about the 2 Canadian Men and 1 Canadian Woman. You never brought them up in your post. Surely they must have been there?

Deb · 21 Jun 2004, 17:44

Heres another one....

The British and Americans ( I think) are known for sitting during Gigs, where as Germans etc.. stand. Anne V and Taz were amazed when they came to Sheffield in 1999 that we had seats and most actually sat during the shows!!!
