the fake Ford exploxer based ones obviously, not a proper army one.

Hummer was a GM company, so doubt it.

According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hummer_H3
"it was based on the GMT355 underpinning the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon compact pickup trucks "

As it's that time of year - plastic hanging baskets and pots.

playing music too loud in the car.

Sorry, but that is very much a teenage thing, or someone who loves music. I am guilty of such things, but these days I tend to have the windows up when the music is on!

I'd add inflicting anything on others that they haven't asked for - litter, noise or the like. Lonsdale. I was going to put 'elasticated denim', but that seems to be more Eastern European thing....

Indeed, I am 24 and in the XJ I have music blasting away with the windows up. I did go out of my way to make sure I had the 20 speaker 1200w B&W option.

I thought it was just me!

Ssshh, but my very respectable 1989 R107 300sl has a very discreetly installed Alpine amp/bass cannon in the boot. I had it installed by Q-Branch.

Its only used when I am alone and no one can hear me!! ;-)

You've also got those ones who are in 'denial'. They'll take two planes, travel around the globe to a beach holiday, lay there for two weeks solid drinking in the idillic beech bar every night and eating seafood. Granted its not Magaluf-council but then why do you need to travel thousands of miles to replicate what you could HAPPILY do a few hours flying time away from the UK?

Girl at work did 12hours each way every year so she had the 'exclusive' beach bragging rights...


They live in a 1960's semi-detached house in Greater Manchester.


You have utterly stunning land/scenery soooo close to home. If you need to 'go away' - France has some stunning wild spots. Ditto the great forests of Germany or Pyranees etc etc etc. Even Ibiza can be really nice for a beech holiday but then its not 'different' enough for the snobs now.

What makes you feel qualified to be so judgemental about where someone chooses to go on holiday? Or is it just jealousy?

[BrabusMog]

Not particularly, I just don't see why people would judge others because they may choose to fly to Mexico for a 10 day break.

24 hour food and branded booze. A pool. Much better weather than the UK. Nothing to think about.

Bliss.

I can understand why people stick to familiar food.

Some of us don't enjoy eating and as such face it as a difficult chore. I eat only as a means to an end and I have a fairly limited diet (foods that I know I can eat which won't cause me discomfort)

I only eat because I'd die without it. Therefore a quick McDonald's burger and I feel relatively nourished until I need to eat again. I hate it so I like it to be quick and painless

If you want pizza here in the algarve there are loads of great options that are both far better quality wise, and far cheaper than a Pizza Hut.


Also its not like you could say "I hate Portuguese food" as a lot of it is quite simple. Halved chickens done on a BBQ in view of the tables, served with some chips and a bit of salad. For about 7 euros per person.

Agreed, and much friendlier resort staff compared to Barbados/St Lucia etc. And I'm yet to visit Mexico and not somehow meet a louder than life northern couple that seem to have been staying in the hotel for at least 2 months

This is what I'm talking about, why go to Portugal to eat a Pizza for gods sake! That's essentially the same as an All Day Breakfast in The Old Cock and Bull in Magaluf.

I also understand what an earlier poster had mentioned, why fly all the way to Bali to sit by the pool drinking Fosters and eating crisps?

I had Cozido once a few years ago, fking rotten! But I'd generally agree, most of the local dishes are quality, pork and clams is a favourite of mine!

Fences with no wood panels just multiple concrete gravel boards. For that prison/Eastern European look.

They do have some merits...

It's not that I hate Portuguese food, I J st find it hard to eat. And when I'm abroad I do try to eat something interesting, but not really pizza. I mostly stick to simple sandwiches, chicken and rice and other things



Anyway, your username is seriously council

Parking on grass verges is very council. In fact a doley who's moved in with his mum now regularly parks his elderly mum's car on the grass verge outside my house. I don't care about it being outside my house as it's not my land and I have no claim over the road but I do object to it being buggered up into a mud track by his laziness when 30 seconds down the road there is ample empty parking. Incidentally his mum parks down there when she finishes work, it's just the doley that can't be arsed to walk and doesn't give a st.
