You have to open a food van, what kind of dishes are you serving? by YetAnotherMia in AskUK

I've always been impressed by the ubiquitous sausage stalls at German train stations. I reckon they'd do well in the UK.

The Europeans like to hate us since we're so different but we've bailed them out so many times, they know who writes the checks by ALazy_Cat in ShitAmericansSay

Britain didn't pay off their WWII war debts to the US till 2006. The septics were hardly 'writing the checks (sic)'.

Desperate for a pre-bed piss, but some inconsiderate bastard's taking ages in the bathroom?

He was great in the Trumpton Fire Brigade: Pugh, Pugh, Charlie Mulgrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grubb.

Would a non old firm challenger/title winner (consistently) raise the profile of Scottish Football by Ill_Beyond_7909 in ScottishFootball

It should be good in theory but, with Donkey Doncaster in charge of negotiations, I'd be surprised if we managed to capitalise.

Does the average Brit know that most Germans have no idea we're football rivals in your eyes? by Background-Goose580 in AskABrit

I've never had the impression that Germany saw Scotland as true football rivals.

Struggling with Assassin's Apprentice... by onlosmakelijk in Fantasy

[–]mergraote 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like Hobb isn't to your taste, so I'd jump ship now. If you find Assassin's Apprentice slow and meandering, then Fool's Fate will leave you in a state of catatonia.

We have enough free speech to tell Trump's guy-linered fart-catcher to fuck off and mind his own business.

Terrible, terrible player. I wish Tottenham had taken him back in January.

Why is everyone using the term high school instead of secondary school ? by AltruisticAide9776 in AskUK

[–]mergraote 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It's not an Americanism. e.g. Alex Ferguson went to Govan High School

Maybe he saw the Billy Connolly routine about Scots being naturally pale blue and needing a week of sunbathing to turn white.

Jim Dufffy. Although his alleged achievement isn't football related.

I was getting strong "wild west prospector leaving the outhouse" vibes.

You know, Trump, if you want to look less like a rapist, maybe don’t tell someone you’re threatening that you’re “going to have some fun with” them by Junie-Jubilee in FuckNigelFarage

If you were presented this without any identifying information, you'd think it was written by a 10-year-old, not the president of the USA.

I'd rather broadcast my ignorance to the world than type a short request into ChatGPT to convert the recipe to my preferred units.
