It's going very well isnt it?

i agree.

i'm not talking about Rodrigo's other moaning like when he gives it but can't take it. i'm specifically talking about this furniture thing. that is to do with culture. of course his parents brough him up like it, coz it's the culture in Brazil to respect your possessions.

maybe people all over europe arnt all boring killjoys,but rodrigo is from brazil, which is a long way from europe.just a small point.

You either have it or you don't, you can't buy it. To some extent, you can develop and improve upon the qualities that you have.

Nothing to do with speaking perfect English or knowing all the intricate details of a culture.

Most people know relatively jack all about their own culture anyway tbh!

true.

I made this exactly same post last week and people who don't like him really don't want to understand this.

Possibly.

Doesn't mean I'd enjoy tiptoeing on eggshells around him.

well i'm in scotland and been taught to respect my possessions. you can't just call it a cultural thing. having respect for your possesions is something that you are brought up with.

and how can you say it's british culture to disrespect possessions??:conf:

Everyone should respect their own and other people's possessions...

i didn't actually say that, but it does seem to be true. every week in my local paper there's an article about a teen that has destroyed or vandalised something.

i really think it's silly to assume that it's a difference in culture. i have brasilian friends and they don't differ dramatically to us at all. he's just boring, that's all- his hissy fits are boring and that's the only time he's involved in the show

I've been to Brazil and I can assure you that Rodrigo is in no way representative of any Brazilians I came across (apart from the fiery temper).

He is more like an old grandmothers wrinkly cardigan, left lying by the knitting.
