"pronounciation"

proving your point. finnish is a hilarious language, though.

"took me so long to find out it wasn't pronounced bon eye ver"

same, and then I was always like what the hell is this "bonny bear" you talk about.

Honestly I'd really like to see you in your natural habitat, just because I want to see whether you switch between British and French attitudes.

Opeth is overrated, too. Especially Blackwater Park.

idk I feel like a foreigner in both countries and I'm treated as such by other people



I don't relate to general British attitudes at all tbh.



My politics probably fit the general French consciousness more than the English but I haven't yet

lived in France for any prolonged period of time (will next year) so I don't really have a strong

sense of belonging there either.



I don't really define my identity on nationality anyway (when i'm being serious) and I prefer it

that way.

No British sarcasm? Lame.

And if we're being serious, any person who bases their identity on their nationality or heritage (particularly if they're younger than 40) they're a fucking moron. Also, what do you mean by general French consciousness?

simply that france has a more socialist culture than the uk and that I associate with it more but

that's obviously very generalised. a lot of dumbfucks in france. like any country

France's culture seems to be similarly "polarized" like Germany's. (e.g. in terms of "right" and "left" influences)

General consensus I get is that Northern French people can be bit awkward for our standards, Southern French people are supposedly super chill. (too chill for some, apparently - my uncle always gets shit for being "too calm") Parisians are supposedly the biggest xenophobic dickheads on the planet.

'Parisians are supposedly the biggest xenophobic dickheads on the planet.'
