I found the politeness thing quite sickly in the US - in service. I'd rather be served by a moody cunt than someone pretending to be my best mate and pretending to enjoy their job.
I kinda like being moody though.
My pessimistic outlook means I'm rarely displeased or disapointed by life...

(Mar 20 06, 05:59)We have a lot of Brits studying at our uni, and they're all very smart (maybe it's b/c they were mainly in Journalism, which is one of the best here), and it wasn't so much of a spectacle. But I have to admit, accents can be quite attractive.

Jaline throws money at me when I speak.
I have loads of Canadien freinds and I may say they are simply delightful people, considerate and funny. Funny thing is you can tell they aren't too comfortable saying cunt. He he when I first met them aswell they couldn't understand a word I said and I'm posh scots aswell not like skt and Kelpie even MX for that matter me and josimarx are posh cunts.

I'm with moth on this one it is a nice surprise when someone is guenuinely happy or in a good mood it's a bit well uneasy when you know they are only going through their induction notes.

Tom Cruise loves the Brits so much he used his clout to prevented the latest episode of South Park from being aired over there...
