Oooo, don't get me started on the rip-off bus fares we have here :mad: :eek:

:lol:

So you are in Reading Pixu? That's not far from where I am (Oxford) :) Actually, I was at Reading train station only a few weeks ago. Hope it's less foggy in Reading than it is here at the moment :eek:
 
^^Bus fare for a student here (Canada) is $1.50 for a child and $2.25 for an adult, at least it is in Calgary. So I buy a bus pass.
You know you're Canadian when
it isn't uncommon for it isn't uncommon for it to snow in June.
You don't know the names of the major intersections, but you do know where the nearest Tim Hortons is. (hooray for Timmies)
 
You know you're Dutch when you prepare for christmas diner and the theme is cheese

Um, you know you're Dutch when:

- people ask you where your wooden shoes are
- you know what hagelslag is
- you hate Piet Paulisma
- you've smoked weed for the first time when you were eight (yes, sarcasm)

Or has this already been said? xD
 
You believe that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday are all good nights for drinking. Sunday day is also entirely reasonable.

Damn straight! And by nights, they mean anything after 3pm. The 'Fannysmackin' thing still cracks me up

You know you're English when...

- You refuse to be called 'British', you think the Scottish and the Welsh are up to something.

- 95% of all words you say are dripping with sarcasm.

- At least one tourist a week asks you if you know the Queen.

- You think Cockey rhyming slang should be regarded a National Tresure, and possible a language in it's own right.

- You get entirely pissed off when people hang Union Jacks up for St. George's Day

- You get annoyed when somebody calls 'God save the Queen' the English National Athem, and start trying to sing 'Land Of Hope and Glory' even though you only know the first line.

- You've seen at least one 'Chav vs. Goth' fight (I say kill them both :lol:)

- You're Nan watches a Hip-Hop music video and becomes greatly offended. "It's nearly pornography!"

- The most complained about advertisment is one of people eating with their mouth full. Apparently, that's worse than the implication of child abuse :rolleyes:

- You know of at least a dozen towns that consist of nothing more than pubs, indian restaurants and charity shops.

- Almost everyone you know thinks that because it's part of 'English cuisine', the Kebab originated in England. :rolleyes:
