Hairy minge has hit the nail on the head I think (I’m part American along with a few others. I’m like Heinz 57). I love a lot of their culture, they generally tend to build people up and get behind people rather than ripping them a new one like we do in Britain there’s aspects as said that I really like. The positivity can sometimes get a little much though.
I find them ridiculously confident too. Too much so. I sometimes think they live in a film they like.
I very nearly moved to the states (Long Island) when me and my ex wife went down the pan. I spend a fairly substantial amount of time per year in the USA. Usually Manhattan and LI. I do love America. But as you’ve pointed out, it’s not perfect and has its problems/irritants like everywhere. The wenches seem to love a bit of British meat though. Brucey bonus. And the ratio of porkable crumpet is off the scale!
And all Americans are not yanks. Far from it actually. I’ve lived in a place in America, which I truly found great, where you’d be more in trouble for calling locals « yanks » than « rednecks ». Or even « hillbillies ». They have a fondness for rednecks, in the south. With tons of humor. Like that stupid add for the Chevy Silverado.
I lived in the Panhandle (NW Florida aka lower Alabama) for almost 4 years. My youngest boy was born there. In my very personal opinion, I find America is like a teenager: bold, strong, defiant, mocking, outrageous, stupid, immature, daring, inexperienced, disrespectful, galant, sexy, thrashing, ruthless... It is sometimes difficult for us people from the « old » Europe. They treat us like their old boring relatives. But they are so stimulating at the same time!
I found them to be a bit further down the age scale, more like entitled little toddlers, living in a tiny toddlers world, eating toddlers food, just a lot more of it. I do however admire their patriotism (although it does often border on nationalism) and their enthusiasm. I preferred the US to Oz, by a long way.
The guy with the Pani is just a cock, I've seen a few of his vids, didn't he crash straight away on track??? Clearly too much money and the bike shops are making a killing out of him. As of the bird, average bod IMO, you would think she'd get that beak sorted though.
I’ve had the chance to relocate there. San Diego. A couple of my mates have, we work for the same company. I’m glad I never went. The yanks just wouldn’t get my (sometimes dark) sense of humour. I don’t think I’d last 5 minutes.
Exactly. A ‘gear head’ as they call them, will buy a McLaren 720S and do nothing other than drag it on an airstrip.... wtf??
