Thread: Christenings

Sounds good apart from the no booze part.

haha, nice one mate, sounds a right laugh.

The booze situation might have had me turning it into a fucking funeral but that's another story

The World Cup coverage on the street showed the passion and party spirit of Africans...

Sounds like you had a ball mate, good on ye, and good health to yer mates and their kid

That's what I first thought as well Cash but just sitting listening to all the chat off everyone during the meal was superb and it was such an eye opener to see that they didn't all need booze to enjoy themselves and have a laugh - unlike a Scottish or Irish christening.

Plus the doobies helped and so are the dozen Polish beers that where sitting in my fridge waiting on me coming back! . Between them and all the spicy scran ate today my arse is going to be in tatters tomorrow!

Yawaaaa no beer ?

Nah sounds no bad man it would have been bad if there was beer and you were n't allowed any.The food sounds as it was the shiz ,love trying out new grub so a do

Seriously mate it needs to be experienced first hand to truly appreciate it! I don't think i've ever been made more welcome anywhere and considering me, my missus and wean, another couple of folk and my other mate who's Asian where practically the only non African people there in no way were we made to feel that way!

We had about 5 different people all finding us seats and personally escorting us to them and introducing us to all who were already at the table, any time our plates were empty someone would come up and say 'come on come on, go get yourself more food! Just eat some more of our wonderful food' with a massive smile on their face! So hospitable and welcoming man and just so full of a warmth that you really don't see in Scottish culture. I don't know if it's due to their religion or just their society/culture in general but they really are amongst some of the best company i've ever been in.

And there wasn't a vuvuzela in sight

Different cultures have their pros and cons. You'd change your tune if they were maiming women with clitoral circumcisions or murdering those they suspect of practising witch craft...

aye it was really good mate and just the way they celebrate and rejoice in their religion as opposed to the way it comes across as almost a burden in Scottish/Irish christianity is something to see.

Sounded like a good one mate, (embrace all different cultures)

pretty sure I accidentally did a bit of clitoral mutilation last night.

up the ra.

I've found that almost everywhere I have been outwith the Uk, the people have been a lot more welcoming and nice. Even to themself, not just to the foreigner.
The culture over here is shocking, and the way we treat people on a day to day basis is nothing short of shite. We wouldn't dare smile at anyone who we didnt know, or talk to anyone. Else where in the world, they embrace communication, relationships and offering their help in any sort of way.

Best example I can give, is while away in America I would walk in and out of shops, and on the most part when the assistant passes, they say hello and they come across as actually meaning it, asking how you are and just having a conversation with you. Simple things, but over here we walk in to a shop and we are greeted by depressed faces, who mumble the word "hello" to you and when you dare respons to it, they have nothing to offer back to you at all. After coming home, I walked in to one of the Celtic stores with a mate, the wee lass at the door said hello to us as we came in, and I ended up in a conversation with her(helped that she was hot of course ) but my mate just looked at me as if I was daft, wondering why I was making conversation when all he wanted was to get in, find the top and get the fuck out.

Bad attitude with us on the most part. Always love meeting new people and life styles, opens it up to you about how badly we treat ourselfs.

Glad to hear you had a crackin time though man
