I would never and have never heard anyone refer to my club or the fans of my club as "The Magpies" it's just not something you do.

 

It does matter yes as I am being accused of mocking someone for not being able to speak English well, which I wasn't doing.

 

This is just getting silly now.

 

I suggest you read your clubs's official website.

I obviously read your post. It's highly unlikely you never heard anyone use the expression. Sounds to me like you did mock him and you're now looking for excuses.

Why would I mock him for speaking English? He speaks better English than I do Italian, seems like a silly thing to mock someone for

Because you like to annoy people?

Yeah but I wouldn't mock someone for something I would want to do myself

France I guess haha

Anyway back to my point before some Italian guy thought I was speaking to him in his hugely self centered way

 

This thread is ridiculous

Blatantly America :P

When I went to Dublin and was walking around the city, I saw a ridiculous amount of good looking guys in one day. maybe it was fluke! haha :sneaky: or maybe they were all foreigners. :wacko:

when I was in Dublin, everyone was ugly

so you were ugly as well :nice:

Yep, it was for Oxegen festival, I was sunburned and covered in mud

coughcolombiacough

^Hah, yeah, if they're all good looking like you then Id agree

SMOOOOOOOOOOOTH

Italy - ITALIA

Other countries have their share of hot and ugly people, but Italy somehow has the highest concentration of handsome/beautiful individuals :gorgeous: :charming:

 

But I favor Latins in general (from Romance languages): Italians, Spaniards, Hispanics/Latin Americans, Brazilians, Portuguese, French, and Romanians :D

Yeah, what can I say? I'm totally biased! (see second sentence of my previous post) :P

 

BUT I know I have seen something in the news recently...

The complete research findings are here: http://www.synovate.com/news/article/2008/12/synovate-global-male-beauty-survey-uncovers-attitudes-and-perceptions-towards-appearances-and-male-beauty-products.html

The following is an excerpt from it:

Ciao Bello!

 

So where can the best-looking men be found? The survey asked all respondents, men and women, which one country has the best-looking men. Many people were simply not sure (it's hard to narrow it down to just one!) but there was a clear winner among the named countries... say 'ciao Bello' to Italian men.

 

The top four homes for good-looking men across all markets studied were Italy (11%), United States (US), Russia and Brazil (all 8%).

 

The fact that Italy was on top when it comes to looks was even more impressive as it was not one of the markets surveyed. These men clearly have an excellent reputation for looks all across the world, among both men and women (12% of our male respondents said Italians and 10% of women did).

 

Bob Michaels, US-based Senior Vice President of Synovate's Consumer Insights group, said that, overall, most respondents were very patriotic and nominated men from their own country.

 

"One stand-out, and possibly quite reassuring, finding for men was that in most markets, women were even more likely than their male counterparts to go for handsome home-growns than to look abroad.

 

"But it's perhaps more interesting to look at the results within markets to see which nations are parochial and which look outside their borders for attractive people," he said.

 

Just some of the market-specific findings were:

 

• Russia had the highest result for its own nation, with 65% of people saying the best looking men come from their own country
  
• The US was fairly confident in the attractiveness of its blokes with 55% saying Americans were the best looking men
  
• Canada had a low result for its own men... only 24% of respondents said the best-looking men are to be found at home
  
• Brazilian women were a lot more patriotic than the men, with 57% women saying Brazilians were the best-looking versus only 39% of men. Additionally, the Brazilians were pretty keen on Italians (16%) but also American men (9%)
  
• The Greeks really like the Italians with 28% nominating them (32% of women and 23% of men
  
• 17% of Chinese respondents said men from the United Kingdom (UK) were the best looking. Is this the Beckham effect? The English football star is widely recognised across China and consistently ranks as a top 5 sporting hero
  
• Brits had a pretty low opinion of the homegrown men... only 23% went for the home vote. And nearly the same number chose Italian men... 21%
  

Then again, you can argue that this is all BS since it's a bunch of people's opinions, not facts.

^Hah, yeah, if they're all good looking like you then Id agree

Oh stop :blush:

SMOOOOOOOOOOOTH

 

:lol: This made me feel like I was viewing an episode of "Fresh prince of Bel Air" or shows like that.
