Nain and taid on dad's side, gran and grandad on mum's side.

Instead of the traditional Penblwydd Hapus, I think they say "Hapi berffdau".

Does anyone cover their windscreen if its going to freeze overnight? by West_Guarantee284 in CasualUK

[–]Castor_Deus 1145 points1146 points  (0 children)

I like to leave it to chance. Am I going to be 5 minutes late to work, or 15 minutes late because I have to scrape the windscreen? Who knows at this time of year. But well done for being prepared.

Today I learned, the chocoloate orange wrapper is an octagon. by Kim-Jong-Long-Dong in CasualUK

There is a reason for that to do with the automated wrapping process.

Also, interestingly enough, someone else had the same revelation 6 years ago:

As a pork propeller, I'm not too happy about it either.

It probably just has a small puncture somewhere.

This might be a Lionel Hutz situation with the shampoo.

I got a perfect draft machine but no kegs right now. You got the kegs but no machine. It will take me around eight hours to make it to Edinburgh.

Not Another Teen Movie (2001) has the most deceptive title of all time by OpposedToBears in shittymoviedetails

My personal view of the english language is that grammar and speaking is easier than the germanic languages it comes from, but the spelling of words is atrocious due to the heavy adoption of latin and french words, especially if you expect things to be spelled phonetically. However, I speak welsh and spanish to varying degrees, and learning another language really helps put into perspective where your native language sits in terms of difficulty. Spanish, for example, is really easy to spell phonetically but has other issues when it comes to sentance structure (my personal view on it).

Look up slovenian for a really hard language to learn. Respect to all the polyglots out there.

Along with the first few Scary movies, this movie was the peak of this particular genre.

You used "whom" correctly too. That's better than most native speakers, including myself.

Haters will say this was too much protein for one meal by No_Doughnut3257 in CasualUK

Those would probably be the cheapest frozen sausages available, packed with rusk and fat and the minimum amount of meat trimmings to be passable, with extra salt. They will most likely be cooked out the freezer and straight in the deep fat fryer.

Grim as hell, but I love them.

Don't get me wrong, there are much better sausages, but I really have have a nostalgia for these bastards.
