Yeah they're called roundabouts :), you's dont have them :eek:? Italians dont use carseats fer real?? :|

No. It depends of the milk, of course, but let's say there is an important deviation, which has been estimated between 2 and 5 drops. Of course, only an anglosaxon can understand the implications of this serious dairy problem.

Yes, we Europeans are a mess (but, BTW, at least our cows are not so f***ed up).

Two cows in a field. One cow says to the other; "Does this mad cow disease worry you?
The second cow replies; "I couldn't give a fuck...I'm a Parrot!"

There's one roundabout (that I know of) in Montreal, called the Dorval circle. I think it was constructed at a time when there wasn't a lot of traffic to control so today it is a nightmare to use (according to my mom, who is from Montreal). But there are none in Toronto and I don't think there are very many in North America at all.

My mom's friend is married to an Italian man and they went to Naples and then Florence a few years ago when her daughter was a baby. She said that no stores sold any kind of carseats and that her husband kept asking people if they had some kind of child seat they could use. They finally found on that she says was probably 30 years old lol. Apparently seatbelts are rarely used there either. The cars have them but people don't use them, so I'm assuming that people just hold on for dear life to their babies when they drive on the highway/motorway!!

You don't have roundabouts over there!!??? :yikes: There's enough roundabouts in my town to make you permanently dizzy.

That's why you should know the metric system. Once again, we can see the importance of it. Pay attention:

I live very near a town nicknamed polomint city, you basically come off a roundabout and then go on one :)

Way to piss on everyone's fire RT. Sacre bleu!

Some one from Scotland, is this guy for real?

I'd never heard of him, but I laughed, whats for "unreal"? :(

I always thought Brits used the metric system, too, not just officially but all the time. One reason is that I hear about "how bad U.S. students are at math and science" compared to, well, almost everyone, and so I assume Europeans are wiser than we are about science issues and shed the old English units long ago.

I wish everyone used the metric system! It is so logical and easy to remember. Also, the U.S. customary system (that we use) differs from the Imperial system (that you use in shops, you say) and creates a horrid mess. Look:

See? A mess.

Ha ha! That's quite a good joke, right-track. I'll remember that one.

I mean is he for real Scottish, and do people from there think he's good? Was he big over there first? Or is he just another fake their trying to push on us like Larry The Cable Guy?

Metric system ftw. It makes teaching maths so much easier.

Real or not, I thought his breakfast stuff was funny :p:

He is legitimately scottish, but his accent is much different to mines as I suspect he's from somewhere quite far from me, so he sounds strange haha. The breakfast part is so true, I laughed most way through his stuff, but I've never heard anything from him before :)

The Simpsons, great as always:

Sacrebleu!

Canadians-

I know your milk comes in bags and such, but does soymilk as well? what about almond milk?

That is one detail I forgot... They've got the greatest milk in the universe. When I got to Canada, I cease drinking water, and get hooked on the milk.

I'm allergic to milk but it's good to know we apparently have the greatest milk in the universe. WOO-HOO!

Anyways, regular milk comes in bags. Each bag is a litre and you buy them in packs of three. Basically, you pick up a huge bag with three 1-litre bags in it. Then you plop a bag into a milk container or pour it into a jug and voila. Regular milk also comes in cartons if you only need to buy a certain amount. Cream only comes in cartons, and chocolate milk usually only comes in cartons but sometimes you can get it in the bags.

Soy, rice, almond, etc milks are sold only in cartons here. I buy either rice or soy milk for my cereal and stuff. I don't normally drink it.

Milk is in bags? How strange. I suppose this is to do with packaging and 99% less of it?

stop misleading the scots, our milk comes in plastic jugs and cartons like everyone else

at least on the west coast

Yeah that could be just a west coast thing. But I wouldn't know, I've never bought groceries out west! Here the majority of milk is sold in bags.

:crazy:

I've only been to Ontario, so I only know their milk comes in bags, I've not been on the west coast

I think nowadays milk bags are antiquated in most part of the world. Thanks to that European invention (more precisely, Swedish) invention you know... :p:

I don't think I've ever seen milk in bags...:laughing: Dear Lord.

They're not in the UK, we have plastic bottles/cartons.

I'd like to see what the members here think of a nation using only one word.
It doesn't matter if you are a native of that country, or not. Participate anyway.
It could prove to be interesting and revealing.

Choose your word carefully. It can be complimentary or offensive, so long as it's an accurate example of your perception.


Just to begin with;

Milk is also available in cartons here:

But like I said, I can't drink milk so I don't buy these. I honestly don't remember what milk tastes like :o:

religion is ok IMO if you keep it personal and don't judge other people.

You'd probably like the northeastern US then.
