About Me

The English character is dualistic: One aspect is conservative, the other extroverted.

The pub is a fine example of the conservative aspect of English character. The pub, is a focal point for the "locals". One goes to the pub for the same reasons one used to go to church: for fellowship and spiritual enlightenment. There is nothing flashy or plastic about most pubs. Many look like one's living room, full of plush, soft chairs, couches, a fireplace, and bright lights. The pubs keep respectable hours, too-open from 10 A.M. to 2 P.M. and 5 P.M. to 10 P.M.; Friday and Saturday nights they stay open until 11 P.M. There are no all-night or 3 A.M. public bars. When the pubs close everyone goes home. The pub represents pleasure with control and in good taste.

This control is exemplified in English humor.
Most Americans find nothing funny in English comedy shows, since English humor is word oriented while American humor is more action oriented. The same control that is found in English pubs and humor is also found in the English pace of living. Where else does one stand in line quietly for the bus or the taxi?

Tea drinking is another expression of the English spirit of control and patience. Only barbarians drink tea by placing a tea bag in a cup of hot water. There is a whole ritual to tea drinking in England: The water must be boiling rapidly, the teapot warm, the tea loose, then steeped at least 5 minutes in a teapot covered by a tea cosy. Then and only then does one pour the tea into a cup and drink it. Not only old ladies in lace with Pekingese on their laps drink tea, but a whole nation of workers, entrepreneurs, and aristocrats have tea for breakfast, lunch, and, of course, all activity stops in the afternoon for the customary tea break.

However, there is another side to the English Character-the bizarre, the audacious, and the innovative. It was not the U.S. but conservative England that produced the Beatles with their long hair and sounds that have influenced a decade of rock musicians and adolescents. Out of a very straight middle-class family comes the androgynous Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones whose very existence violates the rigid sexual stereotypes of Western culture.

Entao Sr. Ricardo Allas (cm 2 l's), como tem sido essa sua estadia pela régua, na descoberta das mais belas paisagens e do fabuloso e molhadinho douro?
tenho a dizer-lhe q recebi assiduamente as suas mensagens d texto, mas a pobreza é tamanha q m impede de retribuir. mas agora respondendo .. sim, estou muito bem obrigado, o corpo ja está restabelecido, e a cabeça quase quase no lugar. li algures q, enquanto viajava, passou alegremente pela cidade d Rio Tinto! fiquei bastante feliz pela sua motivaçao, porque afinal "qem passa por Rio Tinto, passa bem sem lá voltar"! (com mais tempo explico-lhe o porquê desta expressao).

Espero q a Régua lhe traga a tranquilidade que necessita.. se nao a conseguir, aconselho vivamente uns bons copinhos de vinho do Porto.

Um grande Abraço Carailho :'D ja com imensas saudades, e a fazer figas com todos os dedos (mesmo com os dos pés) para q este dias passem a voar! quero voltar!!
