Sorry, didn't see this when multi quoting.
I honestly don't have an opinion on Canadians.
Met a bloke called Corey once, he was Canadian, seemed a nice chap, but I didn't check out the length of his old fella, I didn't want to appear forward

Re: Are Aussie blokes a bit dull?
 
After having thought about this for a while I would have to say on a general basis: no.

That's not saying there are no dull blokes here but on average are they more dull than their UK counterparts? No.

There are dull blokes who obsess about cars in both countries. There are dull blokes who obsess about sport in both countries.

If you mix with these types then they will seem quite dull.

They're kind of inconsequential aren't they, a bit like the Welsh. We all know they're there but we don't really care:D

Yeah. Each to their own. Live and let live.

It was really odd in the UK during the 90s and early 00s. Football suddenly became popular talk in boardrooms. I found it bizarre that one minute people would be talking complex financials and the next minute talking about a footie game. :blink:

I love Canadians. They're like the nice version of Americans. Met heaps of when we were on holiday in Cuba, they were great fun.

A great way to wind Canadians up is to, purposely, confuse them with Americans. Asking them what part of the US they are from usually gets a good reaction.

I blame Nick Hornby..

It was around that time that a British Army Captain submitted an essay on which striker should play for Arsenal as part of his assessment...shock horror !! (joke) - raised eyebrows...his choice of player I mean ..

I didn't try this on Corey, if I ever see him again, I'll try it. TBH I don't think he liked me very much, I kept taking the piss out of the way he said 'aboot'
