My favorite thing about the White House burning is when Canadians try to take credit for it and get all smug "That's right, the largest empire on the planet burned down the seat of your government... on our behalf  ""Didn't both Toronto and the Canadian houses of Parliament get burned by the Americans in the same war, and didn't the war end in a stalemate?" "I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of THE WHITE HOUSE BEING BURNED" (obligatory hark a vagrant link)

I went to London about a month and a half ago, and I really liked the way just about any pub would be filled with people who just got off work having a drink with their friends at like 5:15, but most of the pubs themselves were awful. Small selection of bad beers. I've been spoiled by the American craft beer scene. British beer, when not watery and flavorless, is just bitter, and I understand you guys do it on purpose (sometimes it's even called "bitter") but I don't like it, at all. The beer in Amsterdam was far, far superior, and about half of it was American imports. For the first time in history, American beer is better than European beer  e: me in an Amsterdam bar. "My god, this beer is delicious! Where is it from??? *googles* ...it's from Detroit. Okay." Brouwerij 't IJ ruled though, dat local dubbel

Scandinavian education is free, but by all accounts you get what you pay for American higher education is in a horrible financial state in that it's just a fact that when you enter young adulthood in this country you just go into tons and tons of crippling debt, it's just how it works, but on the plus side the education itself is really good

Your Dead Gay Son posted:I don't get why we call them roundabouts and the Brits call them traffic circles. Sounds like the opposite when it comes to quaint britishisms "the lift" etc In MA those are called "rotaries", which to my completely unbiased ear seems correct and not weird unlike both of the other terms

Fluo posted:im seeing the lions at Wembley in November You guys keep getting either horrible games between two bad teams or horrible matchups between one bad team and one really good one. I apologize to all Brits on behalf of America for showing you such lovely football  I apologize specifically for showing you the Jacksonville Jaguars so many times. Nobody needs to see that.Jets/Dolphins should be good, but if you're not a fan of either of those teams you probably don't know why exactly. Steelers/Vikings was probably a good game, and in 2008 you got Chargers/Saints which must have been awesome, but every other matchup appears to have sucked Fluo posted:We live in houses older than your country. that sounds awful honestly, new houses are the best

Somehow not a single one of the pubs we went into in London had stout of any kind on tap, with the exception of an oyster shack in Borough Market. I was v unsatisfied with my stout experience.  On the other hand we did go to multiple gin bars that were frankly excellent.
