Portugal killing itself

[cereza]

Ex-pats(of all nationalities) always moan. After all why the Australians call British ex-pats whingeing poms! I always thought that was an unfair exaggeration but then Channel 4 had a documentary fly-on-the-wall series about people moving to Australia. One woman in particular moaned about the weather(always too hot) that the house's kitchen was too big(huh?); the road signs; the driving in fact everything was wrong! Her son wanted to go home back to the UK and the woman ended up in Hove. I think she was only happy when she was miserable!

If you decide to move to another country you have to accept everything the good and the bad. Period. Under European law you have the right to reside and work in all member states but that does not mean that everybody in that host country wants and welcomes you.

Of course not all ex-pats are like that. Some embrace everything in their new home country and if there are things that irk them then they keep quiet. They are the responsible ones.

The Portuguese are a very proud people. Go to the Rossio square in Lisbon and shout out to the people stupid ignorant comments like "Portugal is in the shite" and you can expect the same treatment by the locals that Gadaffi got when he was captured, and a bloody good job too!

Oh stop it Jim - you are so funny
