"London is great but the English are too ugly, much uglier than what people say. Why do so many people speak Italian?"

What my brother told me yesterday :D

So seriously, what's with the Italian? My brother and my friend were in a hotel some 10 minutes from Emirates. Is that an area where Italians live?
You go to inner cities and people are mostly ugly for sure :lol: Come out into towns like Warwick, Leamington around here and the middle class girls are something else.

There are something like 50,000 Italians in London, many more Anglo-Italians. They are spread out around London but are mostly concentrated in Soho and Camden.

This was Soho in 2006:

Live in Earlwood. Played against both of those teams before.

Marconi were absolute effheads on the field, but we once went to the club together and drank up after a match, lol. Fun times.

Dunno about now though - I haven't played comp. in about 6 years.
Ahh Earlwood. Are you Greek or Lebanese? LOL

Yeah Marconi used to be fucking great on Friday nights. Plenty of good looking bishes about getting all drunk and slutting around. Good times there in my "younger" days :)

    Comparing Cornwall to Carlisle is like chalk and cheese. You can be in Manchester, Bristol or Cardiff and expect 30-40% more rain than anywhere else. Even on this little island it depends.

    As for ugly people and crap food....

    Inner city life in the Midlands and north can be pretty shitty, in London it can be great.

    Personally I can't think of many better places to live than a village in the English countryside. But then if we are talking about someone like Hoori that is no good.
    Someone like Hoori? What's that? :D

    Not specifically a farmer, but I'd love to experience living in the countryside at some point in my life.

    Well ok then, ignore my assumption. It's tough to scratch a living out of it though, it's something I might look to do when I've finished with regular work nonsense.

    Its really difficult getting visa in European countries these days. You'd need a damn good reason.

    At least here in Norway, they've become dickheads.

    You can always marry your way out of Iran :p

    Not really. If your papers are fine and its your first marriage things can go smoothly because its family reunion.

    At least in the country you are going to, I can't say if Iran lets you go though :p
    I'd need a damn good reason to marry, that's what I meant :p

    :tup:

    But you know Tahir, thing is that I'm not sure I will care as much if I settle well in another country. Have you ever thought of coming back? Why should you?
    Because no matter where you go and how hard you try you'll never be accepted as a 'local'. And let me tell you, Persians here (and in Sweden) really really really try to blend in but at the end of the day they're still foreign and they know that :)P) You can't even call it racism, it's just natural I guess. Pakistan, though I only lived there very briefly when I was young, is the one place I feel at home. It's the one place people 'get' you and it's the one place where you don't have to explain why or how things are done differently in your family (culture, religion, customs, etc.)

    It's like one of my life goals to one day be able to help people in Pakistan so that future generations don't have to leave their homeland.

    I'm not saying that's untrue, but on the other hand this is how we all mix, get to know each other. How many of our Juventuz friends would like to live in a town where there are no Persians or Pakistanis or immigrants of any kind? That'd be really depressing imo. And what you said here is a kind of sad statement in a way:

    It's like one of my life goals to one day be able to help people in Pakistan so that future generations don't have to leave their homeland.
    "have to leave", sure. But on the other hand people shouldn't be trying to raise their kids in a bubble where there are only "our kind of people" around and they never have to be confronted with this "otherness".

    I mean is that really how you see yourself, would you rather have spent your whole life in Pakistan or is having your current life worth something, even when it comes with drawbacks?

    It's more complex than that Martin.
