:)) Şi eu m-am amuzat la unele, la altele am zis NO way, never had, la altele i-am recunoscut pe unii ... cunoscuţi (deh, n-am găsit altă rimă), la altele ar trebui să mă simt uşor jignită, dar prefer să spun că au trecut vremurile stereotopiilor :p Oricum, very funny lista :))
Scuze, stereotipiilor :p
Mai, n-oi fi eu est european, da' nu ma regasesc in niciuna din afirmatiile astea ;)
