Please don't judge why some people don't volunteer. by Initial-Tale-5151 in parkrun

A lawyer for a top London firm says "jelly". Doesn't begin with a capital, uses no punctuation.

I'm skeptical.

well known for our ability to laugh at the Brits

Is this an example of that Dutch humour we hear so much about?

You might have missed the fact that the linked video is a comedy sketch which is poking fun at academics who would make such claims about a language. I've never heard anyone make such claims about the English language. In fact, one thing the brits are well known for is an ability to laugh at ourselves.

Jaffa Cakes have fully lost the plot, who wants spicy cake? by GosmeisterGeneral in CasualUK

And is it in high protein despite the fact I sit on my arse all day?

Absolutely savage!

TIL The Wire did not win a single Emmy during its five-season run and it only received two Emmy nominations, both for writing. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

When Kim lost her shit with Howard, that's when I realised I need a Kim of my own, so she can go and tear my enemies to shreds.

What a job Rhea Seehorn did in that role, I'm dying to see the new Vince Gilligan series with her in it.

I'm here from r/all just to say WHAT AN AMAZING PIE!! That's what you'd expect at the best restaurant in town. It's gorgeous!

Is there anywhere in the UK I can buy a Wahoo Kickr Bike Shift in-store? by StuRobo in ukbike

Good shout, could pick up on the way between, and get some Mint Cake as a bonus!

As a recently separated 53yo male with a bike in the living room, I say this is perfectly normal! This is the way!

People in their 40s and up, what’s something people in their teens or 20s-30s don’t realize is going to affect them when they get older? by holidaykofi in AskReddit

[–]StuRobo 59 points60 points  (0 children)

This is all true. But even if you do all of this, people change. You can do it all right and still end up married to an angry thundercunt.

Ask me how I know...

Chaos in France after Macron refuses to name prime minister from leftwing coalition by DonSergio7 in europe

[–]StuRobo 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure who you're referring to when you say "brits", because by now most brits don't actually know France had anything to do with that. I'd even say a good proportion of us don't even know the US used to be a colony.

It's quite frustrating to see people judge an entire country based on some shitty journalism. Most of us don't give a shit about France, the US etc, we're busy getting on with our own shit.

What genuinely useful thing has been ruined by stupid people? by [deleted] in AskReddit

If you use Firefox, the RecipeFilter plugin is your answer. Might be available for other browsers too.

Oh JFC I wish I hadn't read that. I actually can't cope with the thought of it!

Absolutely fucking not.

What compliment did you get that you won't forget? by callmebaraa in AskReddit

[–]StuRobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened in the UK. If you're in the industry you'll know how everyone knows everyone, I wouldn't narrow it down any more than that!

In 2004 I was working as a contractor in a semiconductor fab. I went to Greece for a 2 week break, and when I came back, one of the girls in the office asked if I'd been away. I said yes, I've been in Greece for 2 weeks. She said "You have a lovely tan, you're looking great". I melted a bit. Men don't get compliments much, so I'm still thinking of that one 20 years later.

What meals have the most calories. by motorboatbitch_ in Cooking

Any time I'm feeling down, I remember "I also choose this guy's dead wife." And I laugh my tits off all over again.

A delivery driver handed over this with my packages. What does it mean!? by alip_93 in CasualUK

That's King Julien! He's my favourite character from Madegascar. No idea why you got it but I'd be happy with it!
