How can I meet them?<BR/><BR/>I have a musical studio in my house, with my drums (Sonor Designer, Zildjian cymbals), a professional piano (Kawai MP8), a sound machine (Yamaha stagepass 500), some percussions (LP congas and other small percussions).<BR/><BR/>Best regards.<BR/><BR/>Reynald BOSCHIERO<BR/>Calle Pomponio Mela, 50<BR/>11207 ALGECIRAS<BR/><BR/>956 57 44 24<BR/><BR/>email : reynald@ya.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567551.post-75579104944113137132007-08-19T11:43:00.000+01:002007-08-19T11:43:00.000+01:00I agree with you on the kids issue, Politaholic.

Brits do the opposite: they let their brats run wild everywhere, ignore them until they are completely out of control - then knock shit out of them.MANTEXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14711438259770578268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567551.post-66440527663304592452007-08-19T11:08:00.000+01:002007-08-19T11:08:00.000+01:00I agree.

No trouble at all. In Manchester, by contrast, the town centre at the week-end is routinely full of people urinating in doorways, exposing their buttocks, shouting abuse, and fighting. <BR/>Here's another thing: in France and Germany children seem well behaved in restaurants. They sit at the table, eat their food, chat with their parents. In England if I am in a pub, sitting in the corner, drinking a beer, eating a sandwich, and quietly reading my Guardian, and "the family" come in, it isn't long before little Tommy is running around screaming at the top of his voice, fashioning snowballs from his own faeces and throwing them across the bar, smearing snot on my sandwich, while his parents studiously ignore all this, as if it had absolutely nothing to do with them.<BR/><BR/>Your right: it's altogether more civilised everywhere.Politaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787923053839036543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567551.post-39263299543380467942007-08-18T12:54:00.000+01:002007-08-18T12:54:00.000+01:00The only people I have seen remotely drunk here ha...The only people I have seen remotely drunk here have been the very same people - young vulgar naff Brits on holiday in their Union Jack T-shirts, tatoos a-go-go, and their shaved heads.<BR/><BR/>The locals simply don't overdo it at all. They might have habits which can seem a bit odd to us - such as having a huge brandy with their morning coffee - but in general they seem to drink smaller glasses of everything. And they just don't seem to be interested in getting rat-arsed as our lumpens do.<BR/><BR/>It's altogether more civilized everywhere.MANTEXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14711438259770578268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567551.post-29700894031856193952007-08-18T12:23:00.000+01:002007-08-18T12:23:00.000+01:00RoyThe ease with which Europe manages its booze co...Roy<BR/>The ease with which Europe manages its booze consumption never ceases to amaze me, blighted as we are in Manchester with binge drinking young fuckwits whenever we brave our way into the town centre of a weekend.skipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02632351344359303404noreply@blogger.com
