lol and remember what happened to croatian team after that match?


like you fared any better

She's the goddess of uglyness and of the total lack of ski tecnique


this does it


let me see now ...



FIAT is the worst car industry in europe. Cars are ugly, expensive and badly built. Not even Italians like to drive them

I wont even mention cars for the pensioned people, like alfa romeo. which is owned by FIAT so they are going to be destroyed with it soon

and Ferrari is Italian only by ownership, you need a German to drive it and britons to make it, plus it will soon be owne by B. ecclestone who is a brit

to be 'like an Italian' is in Croatian a synonym to be 'all show and no action'

your coast does not have one single island and is totaly polluted


Italian army is the most inable ever to be seen in europe. there are still jokes about their performance in wwII


Italian football is nothing compared to spanish or any other european. Italian basketball sucks. Italian waterpolo is worthless




I ll let you know if I remember something else

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Girl with M-16 and 3 years of military training is definately turn on.I wouldn't mind to have a girl that can actually have a gunfight with me, and wrestle and have a chance to win without kicking the nuts. Those girls rules.

I have only some experience of Israel, Greece, Spain, Italy and Malta, as a visitor and traveller that is. Hard to say, I really liked them all! Well maybe Malta was a bit small.. Israel is a bit hazard zone because of the situation we all know. I'm basing this on where I would like to live... Though I like military.. but Israel wouldn't allow me to join, so screw that one.

I don't know!
Croatia sounds very tempting.. I've heard some stories about it from my friend who was a peacekeeper, and has been there for vacation or something, and he said it was cool place. I never thought about it like that, but he told me about it a bit, so it's definately interesting. But I leave it out because I don't have my own experience....
Albania could be only for extreme travelling, getting out alive is just a bonus.
Turkey... We've all seen Midnight Express, no thanks.
If my life depended on it, I'd just go for .. aargh!.. if I get to choose the town, Barcelona, so Spain it is.

Paiktis, the host-city of every olympics edition has the right of bringing his national team for every group discipline- so greeks will have to bring a volleyball/basketball/gymnastics/handball etc. team for both males and females, and will have to compete in all the compulsory matches until the quarterfinals- aka USA/GRE female basketball

Did you know we already have a BASEBALL team (of all teams!!!) and that it kicked the ass of nearly all of Europe and got the #1 place in the latest championship?

No?
Neither did I.

Hey you mediterrenians, is any of your countries like this:
Not too expensive, warm and nice mediterranean weather, access to the sea, cool beaches (like Greece and Spain, doesn't have to have so much tourists though), great opportunities to do some snowboarding, nice and open girls (some of the local girls are just impossible to approach, they do only locals ), busy night life, and safe to go out as in you won't get mugged easily? Also rich culture, good access to neighbouring countries and not hostile to travellers?
I'm going travelling next summer and I want to go to this place.

face it Datajack, Italy is big country, but even Croatia (pop 4.5 million) can and is more then happy to kick your ass in most sports that mean a thing, for example we have olympics medals in basketball, handball and so on. we are better in waterpolo and football




and our female skiers kick your weak Italian ass. period.

Not too expensive - hmm, now Greece is much more expensive than what it used to be for tourists...

warm and nice mediterranean weather - check


access to the sea - check

cool beaches - check

great opportunities to do some snowboarding - check but you have to travel a bit. Although it is possible to find both in relatively close proximity. But not in summer I imagine.

nice girls - check

and open girls - not check

busy night life - check depending on where you go

safe to go out as in you won't get mugged easily? - check everywhere.

rich culture - check but that's subjective.

good access to neighbouring countries - check but the only ones worth visiting from here would be Turkey, Italy and Egypt. OK and Croatia

and not hostile to travellers? - check but they'll try to rip you off - be warned. but they do it with a smile.

Most are like that though at least in S. Europe I think.

paiktis, That's 100% what I thought of Greece, with own experience. It's very nice.. but I don't know about those slopes.. My ideal vacation is that I could do some intensive snowboarding in a good place (prefer mountain), and drive less than who hours to come back and enjoy the rest of the day in beach, then going out to check out the night life and perhaps meet some LOCAL girls. No more Ulrikas or Janes.. No offence.

water snowboarding? why not
mountains? slovenia (the sunny side of alps ) is near, but only in winter there is snow, and sea is not that warm then, except to a finn maybe

eeh girls here sure are beautiful, but can be tough to get. tougher then the ones in north, but still they are just girls so if you have required skill

crime is almost non existant. tourists arrive with their own thugs and muggers. really.

you wont be dissapointed


soma spanish company was developing a strategy for croatian tourism. they suggested the motto 'mediteranean as it used to be'

nobody renamed the cities. The cities have had slavic names always, but the Italian administration in wwII used Italian names and we use slavic today

itallians were collaborators in wwII, they passed off lightly for what they did

yugoslavia and Italy made agreement which regulates all territorial isues as well as refugees. most of the damage money was payed to the italian government, some still remains

but italian govt. didnt pay it to the refugees

we won silver medal in basketball on them, lost gold to the original dream team (stronger then the new one)

Atlanta 1996:

Sydney 2000:
Bronze - 3 (basketball, women bicycles, twin rowboats)
