Never judge a book by it's cover

I'm sure most Germans are great people, Dutch too and although I have yet to meet any Israelis who I have got along with I'm sure it would be the same with them. However when you gather the most obnoxious representatives of each nationality on board a small 30 foot boat and are stuck with them for 3 days then you may begin to realise what it means to hate.

Most normal people do not go to bed at 9PM ( en masse ) when the captain of the boat has laid on tons of beer and planned to spend the evening having a good drink. Most normal people, having gone to bed en-masse at 9PM do not then moan about the noise created by the 1 remaining passenger, the captain and the 2 crew members who cannot see any sense in going to bed at 9PM when there is still a ship load of booze to be drunk. Most normal people do not, when taken by the captain to a lovely bar on a nice little island for a introuductory first night drink, have a look at all the chairs and tables the captain and his willing ( English ) assistants have collected from around the bar for their sitting pleasure, turn their noses up and scatter to remote corners of the bar in their ethnic groups and pester the captain to take them back to the boat at 9PM for their sleep. I'm sure the captain and his crew have met a great many nationalities but I bet he doesn't say of most his passengers "How the hell have such a miserable bunch of wankers all managed to book themselves onto my boat ?".
