Point Break
There are things like this... I just cannot get. I have celebrated about a week ago the fact that I have been living in London for 3 years and there are still an incredible number of things going on here that I cannot explain...
- Why there are two taps in the bathroon and only one in the kitchen? Why isn't it the other way around cause as far as I know, it's in the bathroom that you wash your hands the most often...
- Why most of the time when you put in the machine the tube ticket, the gate does not open? So first of all you have to stop while you were on your way AND you get stucked between the gate and the lovely person behind you who is obviously in a hurry and think you are the dumbest person on earth for not being able to use such a machine.
- Why films are NEVER broadcast on TV before 10:00PM
- Why a flush cannot work twice in a row within 5 minutes. So that when you are queuing for the ladies in a pub, you have to listen carefully the girl who was before you so if her flush worked it means you will have to apologise when you will walk out as yours won't...
- Why the most expensive underground network in the world never works... And it basically seems that I am the only person that it p***es off...
- Why every single hot beverage has to be served by default with milk already poored in.
- How come so many people can be interested in a sport as boring as cricket...
I am not saying that this is better in France and as everyone could notice, this is so ridiculously insignificant that I won't be leaving tomorrow... But as we were discussing this the other day with some friends, I thought after 3 years it was just a good time to actually draft what I have been able to notice along the years... Don't hesitate to post your own comments about the UK or wherever else. I look forward to it :)
