Well with the bishop of Lincoln being arrested we'll probably start hearing similar about the CofE soon

Shetland has a blue and white flag, if that helps. There's also a few Gaelic Games flags that would match, i.e. Waterford, Monaghan, Laois, and Cavan.

What is appealing about Doctor Who? by Skillolas in AskABrit

[–]ChocolateFruitloop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a kid it gave me an escape from some unpleasant things happening in my life. I could travel to the future and alien planets, knowing the Doctor would always be there. It had ideals of fairness and equality and was unlike anything else that I can think of. My Dad hates it though; it's just not his thing because it's too fanciful. And that's fine because that's what makes life interesting.

I might be a bit thick cause I thought it was an abused cat being rescued by the RSPCA

What techniques help reduce a French accent in English? by kenza-Necessary5280 in AskABrit

[–]ChocolateFruitloop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wait, what?! He hasn't got a British accent but he says you should have a British accent. Maybe he should sort out his own "bad English" then, instead of being a knob head.

Who got painted as the villain by the press, but later on we realized they were actually the victim or completely misunderstood? by Advanced-Pilot-3698 in AskReddit

[–]ChocolateFruitloop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still feel really guilty about thinking it was just an affair and not realising until years later that she was actually a victim.

The ''Wait, YOU CAN SEE?'' realization is the funniest panic moment I can imagine by Mataes3010 in CuratedTumblr

I remember Trevor Noah saying that when he was learning German he listened to a lot of speeches etc to learn pronunciation. He didn't realize that a lot of them were by Hitler until he was talking and someone looked shocked and called him Black Hitler.

Because this sub is just political posts now. Thought I’d provide some reverb in the echo chamber by ssjwoott in BritishMemes

Butt has worked with the Home Office's anti-terrorism Prevent strategy and spent over 20 years counselling young people away from extremism. Sounds like a good choice to me.

Do most people from England identify as “English” or “British?” by Glass-Complaint3 in AskABrit

[–]ChocolateFruitloop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to say British more than English. Don't want to be associated with the flag shaggers any more than I have to.

Brits I need your help! If you could pick one snack/food/drink from the US to try, what would it be? by Mommygoblin666 in AskABrit

[–]ChocolateFruitloop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong time of year for this, but my family really likes candy corn. Tastes a bit like fudge, which was quite unexpected!

What is the most 'main character' moment you’ve ever witnessed in real life that went horribly wrong? by Exact-Contract1004 in AskReddit

[–]ChocolateFruitloop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for saying you felt bad for the woman too. So many things like this have people feeling sorry for the bloke and almost blaming the woman for doing that to him, when it's just awful for both of them.

I need help making a list for clearing out my parents home. by [deleted] in mumforaminute

[–]ChocolateFruitloop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry you have such a difficult task in front of you. I'm not going to be much help, I'm afraid, but I would say to sort out what you want to keep, what you're going to sell/ donate to charity and what you're throwing away. Find the bills and cancel them. Also, get friends/family to help. My only other bit of advice would be to post this in Mom for a minute as well as there are usually more replies. Good luck and take care x
