But it's not a clear-cut thing, is what I am trying to say. You are making the sweeping generalisation that everything in Britain is boring, whereas I am trying to say that some people enjoy it. But just because A exists, doesn't mean B is COMPLETELY shit, it just means that it is not as good, but still has merits that can be enjoyed. Some people want the charm of Britain, and while they would equally enjoy seeing NZ, can't afford to.

I can't imagine. How do you get on in France?
Im fairly sure im just arguing with you because of the nicotine withdrawal, given i've not argued with you before and you know how strong my feelings are on the subject, but I could force this to go in circles for hours if you'd rather.
Second point? I fucking love france, the second i speak to a french person im smiling and i dont stop until i get back here and then im super depressed for a few weeks.
When I was working at costa over the summer i'd hear this on a regular basis -
"I've just come back from <insert west european nation> and over there everyone is happy and they smile when they give you your coffee and you're all misserable"
Its one of the things I hate here, everyone is misserable in public and only openly nice in private, when people said that to me over the summer they in general got an arsey reply about how stupid there remark was.

Like the Brits say: swings and roundabouts.
Do we? Whats it mean?
Strangely enough it coincides with times when you're getting some
Not always. You'll see it on my "birthday" this year, I don't celebrate my "birthday" so I try to get away from people now - if I can afford to do it this year then i'll be alone. When i was travelling last year I was in a relationship for the first 4 months and didn't get laid until 4 months and one day (no joke) and i was really happy everyday. Landed in Heathrow and I was miserable again.
