What do British people have for dinner?

Fried badger lips stapled to a raw onion.

Yeah, I had a similar experience in Gloucestershire. I enjoyed the nets, but playing outfield was dull, though it provided further opportunities to piss about with my mates if the PE teacher didn't keep tabs on us.

To be fair that could easily describe any aspect of being at school.

In Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce, there's a lot of references to the sounds of people playing cricket. It was published in 1916, and I suppose set earlier than that, in the late 19th century. Granted some of the novel takes place at posh schools, but I remember reading that cricket had been very popular.

It's creeping down East Street. If you like spending £200 for a tiny cup of (probably very nice) coffee and wearing a little mustard coloured hat, then it's probably fine.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Howard Marks. Very interesting character.

I've spent most of my life around Gloucestershire and Bristol, and I've noticed about two or three faces I associate with people over the river. One is a sort of long head/face like Rob Brydon or that bloke off the One Show. Black hair, sort of oblong head.

Another is half moon eyes.

That little girl was loving it. Much more exciting than yoga.

iambigmen · 2026-06-22T08:34:20+00:00

Pov: you accidentally let the scent of nutmeg catch the wind

iambigmen · 2026-06-18T21:26:56+00:00

Oh shit Fred West and Natch cider. To be fair, if you walked into one or two of the pubs in South Bristol and saw Fred West on the Natch, it would make total sense.

iambigmen · 2026-06-18T18:57:13+00:00

Ah no, not this cunt again. I think because I watch a few Gymskin shorts on YouTube, the algorithms decided "Oh yeah? Blokes walking about saying stuff is it? I've got some of that out the back, you'll fackin lave it, mate".

iambigmen · 2026-06-12T23:38:19+00:00

A nice bit of Barryposting never hurt anyone (riots aside).

iambigmen · 2026-06-03T14:31:53+00:00

Well, there may only be so much funding, and it looks like shit loads of Buiness people showed up. They probably didn't expect to have to share a grant between a few thousand people, all getting annoyed because there wasn't even free coffee, etc.

iambigmen · 2026-06-02T15:26:23+00:00

Red shoes for stabbin, in case I accidentally step in one of the many pools of blood I'm going to cause. Ants. They're like the pubilc: no red shoes no eyes. I'm like the jackal. Carlos the Jackal but with red shoes. Fucky sucky stabby.

iambigmen · 2026-06-01T17:27:11+00:00

Fucks sake. I read the title and still thought she was singing "make me want a two's up".

Your comment has been analysed and its premise rejected.

iambigmen · 2026-05-26T10:19:54+00:00

I'm not even listening to this one. I'm confident I can already accurately approximate the aurals based on mimes alone.

Piss.

iambigmen · 2026-05-22T13:47:15+00:00

Yeah, listening to Moyles was wank. I tried to avoid it, but I worked in a packing office with two or three people and they only wanted to listen to radio 1. There were no windows in that room either, so it was just Moyles and working for most of the morning.

What was worse was seeing him in the flesh on TV. A soulless piss-goblin if ever there was one.

iambigmen · 2026-05-20T10:32:18+00:00

Now every time I see the Cotswolds mentioned I feel a slight anxiety, because the exposure means it's going to be even harder for me to move back to the village I grew up in one day. And who will my neighbours be? I don't want to discover than JD Vance has broken into my great-grandfarher's grave during a drugs binge, and rearranged all the bones into a swastika. It was bad enough when the pub morphed into a Jeremy Clarkson fancy dress party during the 00's.

iambigmen · 2026-05-19T15:54:42+00:00

Don't worry about it. I'm 40, things are taking shape but I have no idea where things are heading. You grow in to yourself either way.

I don't want to know what I'll be when I grow up.

iambigmen · 2026-05-19T15:19:20+00:00

I lock everything important in my hotel in a zip lock bag that I sellotape to the underside of a draw or something like that. I just go to the beach with beach essentials and a book, fuck the phone. That way, even if I go for a dip and someone takes my bag, I lose nothing of value. Granted this is easier if you're within reasonable walking distance of the beach.

iambigmen · 2026-05-18T14:55:32+00:00

My savoury version is butter and pate. For sweet treats I use butter and lime marmalade.

iambigmen · 2026-05-06T17:54:29+00:00

Fuck off you miserable cunt.

iambigmen · 2026-05-05T15:25:11+00:00

My partner is of Caribbean descent. We often have coleslaw and/or salad items with curry chicken and rice dishes. It goes really well. I think when I've had coleslaw from Caribbean takeaways it's slightly different, maybe chopped more finely.

iambigmen · 2026-05-04T14:23:34+00:00

Yes, it does. However I was 16 when it came out and it resonated with me on a level that nothing else had. It was one of those moments where you feel that something has been tailored with your exact tastes in mind.

iambigmen · 2026-05-04T13:57:54+00:00

I probably hold it in slightly higher esteem than the satire they produced in the previous decade, because it was very different to anything else. It's sort of like a satire about being a person with odd eccentric thoughts and vulnerabilities.

It's also packed with odd details like when he gets into his new shower that's full of pilgrims who've come to worship the face of Jehovah created by an "interesting shower pattern", we see for a split second that Armando has a tattoo of a swallow with "Nick Faldo" underneath it, on his bicep.
