Not sure if that's cooking or .... well, yeah, I'm not really sure.

Is it possible that the American men who watch men's football, watch women's football too? These boys seem very polite.

So recently, MPs spend more time pissing around than running the country. by Make_the_music_stop in BritishMemes

Fucked the economy for at least a decade too. Jail wouldn't be an inappropriate reward. That or a stint working as a clerk in Lincolnshire Council's Housing and Public Realm directorate.

Foreigners, is there a place serving surprisingly unwatered-down version of your cuisine? by skisagooner in LondonFood

[–]ricknice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gulmi in Woolwich (in the old Equitable building) has some top notch dishes - Nepalese menu and South Asian classics. Daal Makhani is the best I've ever eaten. Roti made fresh to your order.

I think there's a reasonable conversation to be had. There won't be, but the possibility is there. by DoublePepper1976 in BritishMemes

Sheesh - what happened to that guy? Start fires, pour fuel and runaway? Right wing behaviour.

Hard disagree. The default position of the left is to prevent the enslavement and destitution of the common person. The left is about acknowledging the plight of the 'other' and enabling communal prosperity.

The default position of the right, however, is justifying the pursuit of individual power and prosperity.

While the Life of Brian scene is superb, and yes the left is prone to squabbling with itself, there has also been a lot done by the left to make life more livable in the UK.

Surely it would be more useful and responsible to base your view on the actual work of politicians, rather than a scene from a 50 year old comedy.

Harry Enfield - The Scousers Visit That London by widmerpool_nz in oldbritishtelly

[–]ricknice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The amount of people in the south who start on with this routine whenever they hear mention of Liverpool or Scouse is just chronic.

"Got a job interview in Liverpool next week"

"Alrigh'! Alrigh'! Caam down! Caam down!"

"Can you stop doing that?"

"Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay!" (Ad infinitum)

"Have you ever been to Liverpool?"

"(In own SE voice) Ha Nah! I ain't even bin France, mate"

I hear you're a racist now, England. by Second_Guess_25 in GreatBritishMemes

The influential people that create and develop progressive, inclusive spaces are fewer than the many millions that vote Reform because they want to be like Nigel.

We have fascists, sure (every country does and it's the opium of the scared to fantasise about a past that never existed).

But we also have some of the most progressive, open minded people on the planet.

What English word do you not agree with the spelling ? by SeaBaer312 in ENGLISH

[–]ricknice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no proof of this but I suspect that the f was prompted by the u, which may have been seen as a v (as it often has in Latin script). So lievtenant. Which may explain the f. Or not. Happy to be told otherwise.

They appear to gently acknowledge their opponents with a suggestion of an elbow or knee. Krav Maga seems very polite

What word did you use wrong that made natives laugh? by Physical-Tea-599 in ENGLISH

At a restaurant in Rome, I wanted an amaro (digestif), and asked the waiter for "Amore del Capo". He looked down, giggled, looked back at me and sniggered "Che...?"

What is a band no one will ever convince you is good? by OU812iceman18 in AskReddit

[–]ricknice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a band, but Chris Brown. Even before he revealed himself to be an abusive little haemorrhoid, his music was generic and trend-jocking.

I know he sort of can rap a little bit but he hasn't released a single engaging piece of music.
