Honest, yes, but scared of confrontation so when they have an issue they cant talk it out with that person.
I was being followed very closely while driving on the N2 I think it was too Tervuuren and this guy was driving really close behind me. Really close. SO I jabbed the brakes to shake him up and pull back, and despite locking his wheels up when he braked, he still drove as close after.
So I got fed up and stopped the car. He stopped behind me, and I got out, went round to his door, opened it, and asked him to not drive so close to me.
He shat himself. He sat there, shaking, in his car, glued to the seat. He couldn't move, not even his head. He was that scared.
In the UK you either don't stop, or if you have no choice, get out of the car and get ready for it.

So based one encounter you label the entire people... dude, get the facts straight. I don't mind people commenting on something I don't immediately agree on, but making statements based on an event that happened to you is a bit far fetched and not really appropriate for this forum.
Of course you could be messing with me.
I often drive that road btw. When was it.

Thats one example. I also worked there for 6 years, and have a friend who ran a team of both Dutch and Belgians in Maastricht, with which I used to discuss them.
A Belgian friend also said that the same thing, that they are terrified of confrontation.
It was way back when I lived there, and it was a short guy in a sh*tty Escort. And I am massive by the way, so probably not surprising he crapped himself. But like I said, in the UK you just wouldn't let yourself get in that situation.
OK, take my boss when I worked there, He put PV cells on his roof, 40000 euros worth of them. The electric company came to read his meter, saw it had gone backwards, and thought, hmm, that cant be right, lets just make if a few thousand, and sent him a bill.
He complained, and they said, pay it now, and we will sort it out later. And he did.
My god, what a wimp. Try that in the UK and we would piss ourselves laughing! Pay someone for something e hadn't had? Never. We would give them the middle finger and say go f*** yourself sunshine. Or some such. But the British are strong minded people with a firm sense of right and wrong, a sense we will fight for passionately.

We are different people, despite the closeness. Very different.

...anything to do with Flight MH370?

Yes it is. I should have said MH 370 instead of just 370.
|
|
|
|
|
yeah "flight 370" was so ambiguous. You could have been talking about anything.
|
|
|
|

Sarcasm?

Yes, the IBM System/370, for instance.

I heard that if you had been alive on that plane looking out the window, it would take two and a half hours to reach the bottom of the sea

Funny If statement.
Would it have been 3 hours sitting on an aisle seat with the blind closed? 2 if you had been dead?
|

|

Yeah, they're not getting that back.

Amazing isn't it? 6,000 feet just to be in a position to maybe hear the ping! We think we are gods with our tech but we are defeated by a few miles of water.

I'm actually a bit scared about the mass interest in this plane.
It feels like society is slipping into some sort of self feeding hype cycle.
What about all the news that's not interesting? Poverty and inequality are serious problems, but no one likes to feel bad about it, so it gets ignored in favor of, for example, this one plane. I'm also pretty sure people still get killed and go missing or something.
I don't know, man. Feels wrong.
And I probably need my coffee.

Well, there's a link on that page anyway. When you go there, a popup comes up and when you dismiss it, it redirects to the sites main page - but the link is there if you scroll down.

Can't wait for the "But Cheyenne isn't in India" posts.
By the way, although being on the right track I wouldn't have got that.

My daughter called me from my room yesterday afternoon.
She said there were kids in our front yard carving on our tree.
So I went outside and asked them what they were doing.
The boy answered that they were carving their initials on the tree.
I looked at the initials and asked about them.
J = Jordan
A = Andrew
H = Haley
I then told the kid doing the carving that I could hardly read the
message - please make it a little bigger so I can read it.
I wished them a good day and went into the house.
They all got weirded out and left.
