I'm quite sure the Russkies are more than happy to sit around their tree well into their new year, playing chess, drinking vodka and maybe watching a bit of culture on their TV - such as the latest offerings from the Bolshoi or the Kirov. Quite unlike the mental retards we all know in England who are happy to slump down on the settee with a six pack, while gormlessly cheering on the latest performing cabbage on the X Factor or whatever similar drivel on their latest ill-earned 42" Plasma set. |
Yes, to a man, Russians are a very cultured nation.
(Unless the potatos used to make their vodka were blackened, and sprouting eyes, in which case they are likely to be uncultured, and a little bit mental.)
Some would argue that the standards at the Bolshoi have slipped, in the post-Glasnost era.
