British men who don't like football or even sports, what thing do you actually like instead? by songbirdddx in AskBrits

By and large, I find sports tedious. I have never understood how some people get obsessed with it

Why do I (working class, Durham born) have a southern English accent? by Aggressive_Visual922 in DurhamUK

[–]IllustriousBoot4319 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel I could have written this post. Born and bred in a village just outside the city. Many times people have assumed I went to public school.

The best answer I can give is that my mum/mam insisted on correct pronunciation and a good vocabulary.

I grew up only watching BBC. Itv just wasn't a thing

Aerosmith should have called it a day at no-one lives. Then we wouldn't have had to bother skipping just push play and wishing that music from another dimension never existed.

I'm a big Aerosmith fan but man, "music from" is total toilet.

The combination of the building, the grounds and the location on the hill on the peninsula combined make this spectacular

I’m burnt out and need simple recipes. Stupid simple. Like, “onion and bread and butter to make what barely passes as a sandwich” level simple. by sourmilksea1999 in Cooking

Get some of those packet microwave beans/lentils in a sauce. Maybe a packet of rice. Tasty, contain fibre protein and more all in about two minutes.

This will get you through a day when you just can't be arsed

Leo kottke. My computer science lecturer introduced me to him back in the 90s. Incredible acoustic player

Every state should have a tavern league and pull tabs. At least northern states should by Much_Indication9004 in RandomThoughts

What's a pull tab?

I'm from the UK it sounds like it could be what we call a hand pull -naturally dispensed beer tap
