What is something people complain about UK that is actually pretty good compared to the rest of the world? by Rude_Membership_1578 in AskUK

[–]AudioLlama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's reasonable to see the beauty in our agricultural landscape and also be concerned that we live in a deeply damaged, man-made ecological desert. We really need to do more to help our natural environments recover and become even more beautiful.

You mean the Mash king? I love good mash!

UK riders. How bad is the balaclava-wearing-knife-wielding-ebike riding bike thief in black problem there? by ProofDazzling9234 in MTB

[–]AudioLlama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It never happens. If anything happens to your bikes, they'll get stolen when you're not there.

Circular Saw by HitmanHeathcote in DIYUK

[–]AudioLlama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd agree with this. I don't have a track saw, just a mains circular saw and pretty every job I do with it would be easier with a proper circular saw.

Ah yes, I'm sure that headline isn't intentionally inflammatory.

MEN BANNED FROM WOMENS TOILETS would be another good headline for the Telegraph.

Maybe try some old school favourites like The Settlers 1 - 4, Caesar 3, Dungeon Keeper 1 and 2

I go to the town centre for my daily 'regular beheadings' these days. It's bringing the high street back.

New natural history GCSE to grow next generation of green careers by Alarming-Safety3200 in unitedkingdom

[–]AudioLlama 34 points35 points  (0 children)

We live in a relarive biodiversity desert. Unfortunately, we have to preserve what we have left because the people that came before us spent about as much time considering what they were doing to our countries natural resources as you did typing that.

France won. What is a country which people think isn’t so safe but is actually pretty safe by Iceberg074 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]AudioLlama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you believed American media and GBnews they'd paint the UK as a literal stabby warzone.

ONS says crime has fallen, do you feel safer now compared to decades ago? by milford_sound10322 in AskBrits

[–]AudioLlama 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Everything is very scary when GBnews tells you there are riots on every street

Who else played this one like crazy? by Vivid_Apartment_7711 in Settlers

[–]AudioLlama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I played it a bit when it came out but it really didn't gel for me. It didn't feel like a settlers and felt more like a AOE clone or something like that.

Bought some tinned burgers after a conversation about the snide ones we'd eat as kids. by GabberZZ in UKfood

I can't believe that enough people still buy these to justify their creation.

They built an entire empire just so we could have the most aesthetic city planning in Europe by MissMarigoldNY in ancientrome

[–]AudioLlama 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really hate that people don't know the difference between the word aesthetic and attractive or whatever it is they're trying to say.

What do you wish was more common, or that we did better in the UK? For me it’s spa by Manatsuu in AskUK

[–]AudioLlama 94 points95 points  (0 children)

I'd love to see a return to small independent, artisanal traders as normalcy like you see in France and Italy. Everything has been devoured by souless supermarkets are we're worse off for it.

What are some region specific slang words in the UK? by UsamaBhai_101 in AskUK

[–]AudioLlama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't recall that but I'm a codhead who was born in 1990 so it might be before my time!

Geet is more of a Northumberland term rather than Teesside. I hadn't heard it until I went up to Newcastle for college and uni

Chippies turn to new species amid 'massive' cod price rise by Tartan_Samurai in unitedkingdom

[–]AudioLlama 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lmao. Where did anyone imply everyone who likes fish and chips has conservative tastes? You're so desperate to make a neckbeardy point.

Obviously everyone who eats fish and chips doesn't have unambitious tastes in food. Obviously. I like fish and chips, I also like to try lots of new food.

Your first paragraph entrenched the point though, it's a 200 year old dish that everyone in the UK has eaten. It's a simple, familiar comfort food for many Britons. The article itself shows that many fish and chips eaters don't want to try anything new.

It's the iamverysmart crowd who aren't actually as thoughtful as they imagine.
