I am on the "butter knife watchlist" which means I can't buy anything resembling a knife and have to use spoons to spread butter on all my toast. I also use spoons to cut my steak. It sucks major rear end but I know it's making our country safer. God save the Queen.

Roylicious posted:But you people destroyed India. Look up who brought the caste system and all that bullshit back into vogue there 200 years after it was basically died out, it was the British colonialists. They wanted to re-create a traditional 'authentic' Indian power structure so as to better exploit them. I've been meaning to point out I'm actually American, not British but whatever.

I guess the Brits do have some really funny dry/dark self deprecating humor they probably wouldn't have had if they weren't on the heights once. So you know... India/Africa but Monty Python idk

One thing I've noticed over the years is that it's really easy to pick out an English person in a crowd. It must be the physical cues like the recessed jaws and animalistic/lizard-like faces or something. I used to have an English tutor in elementary school who was a lady from England (she drove a VW Cabriolet) and I kind of wandered how hosed up England was if she decided to settle down in some dead-rear end American small town.

Unbelievable. Open public yards or "national parks" are unheard of, as is any private yard larger than a postage stamp. Can britgoons confirm? im sorry, ENGLAND is a wonderful place that is very elegant and posh and unlike dirty places like america they have CULTURE and STYLE things you other dumb english speakers wouldnt know anything about. their tv is better, their movies are better, their country looks better. have u ever seen dr who???
