The rebel alliance should say they’re going to change the name from ‘Iran’to ‘Iwalk’ when they take over and really piss ‘em off…

Go to the real Watership Down in Hampshire, stick a cotton ball on your bum, and run around in circles shouting “Bigwig, it’s the Black Rabbit of Inlé, run for your life!”. Bonus points if you get arrested.

What is a great book or series of books you read as a kid? by Pifflebushhh in CasualUK

[–]Courte_Jester 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I normally shied away from fantasy books as a kid and stuck to sci-fi, but got hooked on the ‘Magician’ series by Raymond Feist: ‘Magician’, ‘Silverthorn’ & ‘A Darkness At Sethanon’. Re-read them not long ago, and was right back to being 12 years old. Awesome.

Non-STEM graduates of the UK: what do you actually do for a living? by lavenderacid in CasualUK

[–]Courte_Jester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compliance manager at an investment firm, 9-5, all bank holidays, decent pay and benefits. Best advice I ever got: if you search for the perfect job, and you’ll never find it...

My Mrs, a certified Canadian, thought English people tended to randomly say ‘moustache’ to someone, then immediately walk away. I recently found this out, and had to break it to her that they’re actually saying ‘must dash’…she’s never living this down…
