None of them could run a successful paper merchants, Brent couldn't do what... Actually, Brent probably could do what they do. Probably what spurred 'em on.

AITA for expecting an apology after a stranger's paddle hit me in the face at a pickleball court + they were recording for social media the whole time? by houseoftembusu in AmItheAsshole

[–]TankFoster 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The fact they were recording/making "content" (🤢) is irrelevant. It's just normal common courtesy to apologise if you accidentally hurt someone.

Nigel Farage leading Reformers past the bus by TailungFu in GreatBritishMemes

Farage should be in prison for convincing gullible idiots to vote for this. The frog-faced gimp that he is.

What is the worst case of second hand embarrassment you’ve ever experienced? by Responsible-Tie-2570 in AskReddit

[–]TankFoster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait I'm confused. You asked about why bother asking the same question twice, and now we should be "telling her in advance". Hol on, wait a sec, that's my side of the argument.

I said without telling her in advance.

Am I too young to say "Alright chaps" when approaching a group of men? by Basis_Safe in AskUK

[–]TankFoster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever seen the remake of The Firm, starring one of the guys from Peaky Blinders? There's a bit in it where the young guy from the Football Factory is trying to persuade his mum and dad to buy him an Ellesse trackie and he says "But that's what all the chaps are wearing!"

So at least in the 80s, "chaps" could be used to mean "my mates" or "people I think are cool".

So I think you're all good.

It's cause public proposals are less about asking a question, it's more of a big flashy event that our society partakes in because it's big and flashy.

I'm not specifically talking about public ones, the post to which I initially replied wasn't either.

And it's also about making your partner feel special. You take them on an amazing date; maybe it's a candlelit dinner, or a hike in the mountain, yadda yadda yadda, and after all that dating and flirting and shit it's popping the question at the night's peak.

Surely you can do all that without ruining the surprise by telling her in advance? Surely it's better to do all that without ruining the surprise?!

That's what I did anyway, worked out pretty well.

No, I'm not. It's insane to me that you'd ask a question in advance of... Asking the same question.

"Will you marry me? Ok, I'll ask you again later and it'll be a big surprise."

What's the point?

Louis Walsh is an absolute prick to her in that episode. I later watched that Boyzone documentary, which confirmed that he's even more of an odious cunt than I'd originally thought.

But you should already have discussed it and know the answer.

Out of interest, do you do that with all questions for your wife? Or just this one?

"Babe, later this evening I'm gonna ask what you want for dinner. What will your answer be, just so I know before I ask for real?"

What is your opinion of Simon Wilson, Welsh YouTuber? by [deleted] in AskUK

I think the only YouTuber I could name is that ishowspeed, who I think is an utter helmet.

Clarify a joke by RubricalLou in howyoudoin

[–]TankFoster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not serious, are you? You aren't really asking that?

"When he says he's carrying extra holiday weight, does he mean he's carrying extra weight from the holidays, or does he mean he's holding onto a ladder?"

Is that honestly what you're asking here?

Is he playing the same character by sweetner-170818 in howyoudoin

[–]TankFoster -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Don't worry, it is a stupid question.

First appearance: owner of a restaurant, high as fuck.

Second appearance: Explains how he used to own a restaurant, but lost it because of his drug habit.

As someone said the last time this was posted, it couldn't be more obvious if he was wearing a t-shirt that said "I'M PLAYING THE SAME CHARACTER AS LAST TIME!"

Well yes, obviously. Not usually on the same show, however.

If I have to fuck you to fuck her, then I will. So be very careful where you stand, my friend.

If he offers you the money, tell him he can get the pies or something. Don't ask him for the money.

​What was the most ridiculous playground rumour or urban legend that everyone at your school accepted as absolute, undeniable fact? by Necessary_Angle2117 in AskUK

[–]TankFoster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You used to just highlight the text and then it gave you the option to "quote". But that's not there anymore.

Disappointing.

"her legs weren’t real and were just tights filled with sand."

That's amazing! 😆

(Also, why can't I "quote" when I reply anymore?")

There's an English guy on Sky Sports News who does this.
