Random stupid things on your mind. Post them.

Ghost-hunters hears groans in a graveyard, are absolutely shocked when it turns out to be a porn shoot

That's Hull for you. The swamp of Yorkshire.

Randomly perusing a book I saw this note. Amazing that this needed to have a special note to remember but brought to mind; I always like asking Brits, Scots, and Irish about him. Thoughts, YP? I've heard such a diversity of opinion and, interestingly, even different ones depending on area and 'class.'

[UnscreenedCaller]

There are days like today when I wish I still smoked. Eddie C would find this ironic as a few years ago we had a discussion on this thread about smoking. I guess the urge never really leaves you.

Not that you lousy lot care, but the weather here is an absolute shambles, and if it keeps up I am going to be forced to compose a very angry Tweet about it. Heads will roll, I don't mind telling you!

British summer = oxymoron.  It's nice where I am

Oh, that makes me feel so much better. I was expecting to read a few comments that would try to comfort me in my misery. Then I realised where I was!

[SredniVashtar]

I think I'll pass.

But, the historical documentary 'The Day After Tomorrow', showed all of Europe was destroyed by a giant Islamic ice hurricane. And lack of dentists. What gives?

And this is why my family boarded their ships for America's sunny shores. Ok, half the blended  family went down the Pennsylvania coal mines but it is to be hoped their wives and children saw occasional sun. As for me, I remain as melanin challenged as they. Prynhawn Da!

England

They don't even call it England anymore.

[73s]

Wondering when the decision was made to drop the "The" at the beginning of all the three-letter government agencies. The IRS is just "IRS", the EPA is now just "EPA", etc.  The talking heads in the media and those within government seem to be converting to this.  Maybe it's for cost savings? Lol

[TigerLily]

Is it not politically correct to call England England?  As in England is part of Great Britain? I think we need an expert ruling on this.  Where are all those limey bastards when you need them?

Probably in the queue for the dole

This royal throne of kings, this scepter’d isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall,
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this...what then?

You may be right. You usually are. But they may just be having tea. And crumpets.

What is a crumpet, anyway?  Sounds nasty

Best I can tell, they resemble what we might call an English Muffin.

Or maybe it is a code word for their daily constitutional.

[Yorkshire pud]

Well; Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Orkney, Shetland, the Western Isles, The Channel islands and sundry others aren't known as England. But England is.

Crumpets are delicious. Best served by toasting and then spreading butter, so much, it drips down your fingers.

Chips...Not fries or pommes frites. Chips. And it's national fish and chip day here in the UK.

Fries are chips, chips are crisps, and cookies are biscuits.

Yeah. And?

Rinse. Repeat.

Okay then, what are these?



Hmmm?
