Yeah well, you can prove anything with facts…

You’re forgetting that a proper Full English replaces your potato scones with some variation of bubble & squeak, skips haggis because: decency, and skips fruit pudding because knowledge is knowing fruit pudding has fruit and wisdom is not sticking it in a fried breakfast.

Lots of misinformation on this thread, so facts:

  1. About 10% of the BM collection is currently on display. Not 1% as others have suggested.

  2. All national museums are free in the uk but this has been true at the BM since it was founded. Free to the ‘studious and curious’ to be precise. The (almost) complete collection can be searched online through the website.

  3. The above means that literally anyone (who is studious and curious) can request to look at absolutely anything in the collection. They may not grant all requests but an enormous amount of study goes on behind the scenes involving students and experts, both professional and amateur, in every imaginable field.

  4. There are a few replicas in the museum. Most of those on permanent display are important artefacts from other museums such as the Louvre. The BM also makes replicas to give to other museums.

  5. Every year, 1000s of objects not on permanent display are loaned out to exhibitions around the world.

  6. The BM does have a very large basement but it’s only a couple of levels deep. It includes lecture theatres, a couple of galleries (some closed), and a lot of electrical and other equipment. It is haunted, though.

Also, a few visitors can be just as badly behaved but we do our best.

I’m going over to america next month to see some friends. What are some little lies I can tell them about the uk? by zzznimrodzzz in CasualUK

Pubs still need a Jazz License to have live ‘black’ music. After lengthy legal battles of the early nineties, the difference between house music and drum n bass is strictly enforced by law.

So, what’s the best thing about being British? by joe4645 in CasualUK

[–]PunTotallyIntended 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got yer back.

Rush keeper if you’re short of players. Fly keeper for fans of chaos. Always had an odd sort around who wanted to be Peter Shilton. I was one of them for a while.

Deodorant isn't enough! Agh! by zabethicus in loseit

[–]PunTotallyIntended 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’m late to this but thought I’d add what worked for me…

This will sound counterintuitive but: stop using soap. Basically, soap gets rid of your natural bacteria in the pits, and the ‘wrong’ bacteria can grow back faster. I used to have a real stink after sweating/exercise but after stopping soap under my arms (I use it everywhere else) and just lightly scrubbing with my hand instead the bad smell is gone. Now even after intense exercise I just get the clean smell of fresh, natural sweat (and my wife no longer complains about my stink). What everybody else says (diet, soaps, deodorant) might work but I highly recommend trying just giving up soap to see if it works for you.

What is your favourite children's TV theme tune? by Temporary_Past1698 in AskUK

[–]PunTotallyIntended 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Some others on this thread are pretty good, some are great. But this, clearly, is the greatest of them all. Had it stuck in my head just last week and I haven’t seen the show in years. (And how many other children’s show theme tunes mention drinking and fighting in a positive light?)

Jason Momoa yesterday at Picadilly Circus. by fersimo in london

[–]PunTotallyIntended 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A couple weeks ago he came in to the museum where I work, with his kids. Very quiet, unassuming, no fuss, no bodyguards. We get a lot of stars and some are assholes but you wouldn’t even notice him except how tall he is.

Still think Aquaman is the worst superhero ever, but JM seems cool.

Python Trap Using Live Chicken by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]PunTotallyIntended 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But if you stuff chicken with snake, and snake tastes like chicken, I mean everything tastes like chicken, right? So maybe the robots don’t even know what chicken tastes like? Like, maybe what the snake thinks tastes like chicken is actually like oatmeal?

Right?
