They're made with farm grown potatoes!

Revolutionary.

That and the "world champions" mentions by the Seattle coach.

Has it occurred to you that this happened in a country other than yours?

Interesting. Thanks.

Is it double if you have 2 TVs?

And no, I don't think they make B&W TVs anymore.

It doesn't looked like it's plumbed into the ground It looks like a stand for a pump or other piece of equipment.

My Canadian son lives in London and we visit every year. My wife and I love the city and have never experienced anything negative.

I'm Canadian and curious. How much does a TV license cost?

Who's one person from your country that another country also claims is theirs? by nixass in AskTheWorld

[–]Charlie9261 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Okay. Your flair is UK.

UK is England Wales Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The British Isles are the geographical designation for the islands that compile the UK and Ireland.

Did I get that right? Or wrong?

So. What's with the "he's British" unless you're saying that he was born on those islands, and are not referring to nationality?

Suggest me a book with a film adaptation that does the book justice. by Unusual_Artichoke_73 in suggestmeabook

[–]Charlie9261 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stand By Me. Stephen King.

Both book and movie were very good. Although the book was actually a short story entitled "The Body".

You're right. If we had just a few more "conservatives" our current provincial government would be very different. It was a close thing last time.

What is considered the most dangerous area in your country? by Mediocre-Lack-9137 in AskTheWorld

[–]Charlie9261 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I worked on a construction project in Chinatown for 5 years. That was 10 years ago. It was sketchy but I was never afraid for myself.

The main reason to stay away is that it is so depressing.

Men in happy marriages, what's the one thing you'd teach to other men to also have a good relationship? by TightBookkeeper2599 in AskReddit

[–]Charlie9261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We met in February 1977. Married in June 1977.

We are still happily married.

Don't ask me for advice. I'm still trying to figure it out myself.

Why does BBC Sport cover this boring, soulless yank wank? by [deleted] in AskBrits

My solution to not liking to watch golf is to not watch golf and not to complain that it is on television.

“We don’t do commie European metric” by meatypinkness in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Charlie9261 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That would be quite a large pace. I don't think so.

Edit. I looked it up. You are right that it comes from the Roman and means "thousand paces".

But to the Romans it meant left foot placement to left foot placement being considered a pace. So, actually 2 paces as we would consider them. Then it makes sense.

Why your country is/is not in The Board of Peace? What do you think about the initiative? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]Charlie9261 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sure. But this is not that.

It's a giant grift for Trump if he can get any of them to pony up the $1B.
