syntaxfunction posted:We Australians have the correct amount of Michelin starred chefs and restaurants. I believe we export most of our Michelin chef meat alas. It is top quality though. Most of our Michelin star chefs are free range grass feed chefs, so depending on how large the chef is you can normally get quite a few really top quality cuts off them.

I once dated a British gal and she treated every conversation as if she were doing a perpetual standup comedy bit.

Remember when the Brits conquered half the world, causing massive amounts of death, suffering and conflict that persist to this very day then one day they were like “Well done chaps!” and hosed off home to their island never to be heard from again?

roomtone posted:these country-level observations are stupid bullshit which reveal prejudiced and nationalistic thinking being expressed in a way that is socially acceptable because the countries involved are predominantly white. yeah there are no true victims but it's all horseshit. This is true. It's honestly pretty funny, I remember it was only like a decade or so ago that all the nerds were obsessed with wanting to be British and go to Harry Potter land, now they are enemy #1 for the terminally online. Feels like it happened overnight, I wonder what caused the sudden change?

They have carpeting in bathrooms and barrooms. English breakfasts and fish and chips sound delicious to me though. Also in some sort of homage to my faraway and long ago Scottish roots, I kind of want to eat haggis. Just to tell other Americans that I tried haggis.

The extreme transphobia (and queerphobia in general honestly) didn't do them favours. Both TERF Island, and Harry Potter. Edit: altho legit I like jolly old England generally. As much as I like any other basic rear end country like America, Canada or my own. English Breakfast is amazing tho.

Most of my exposure to British people seem to show them as snobbish as a defense mechanism, as in, they have an inferiority complex and project a sense of 'better than you, you/your culture sucks actually' instead. Obviously not true for all, clearly. Also, on a more petty note, I loving hate that they can't end their drat words. Blimy Cricky Lorrie Torrie Smoko Dodgy Bevvy Throwin a Wobbly Cuppa Bloody Telly etc loving SAY THE GODDAMN WORDS without an -ie sound after them constantly. There's ridiculous made up bullshit words for everything as well. It's infuriating. Big Beef City fucked around with this message at 17:10 on Dec 21, 2021 |

it's just very very funny to bait english guys into defending all their terrible stuff so you can see their awful mealy-mouthed rhetoric in action. it's important to keep ourselves prepared lest we get another TERF author, antivaxxer tabloid news guy, scores of very real pedos, the loving worst music, etc etc

Obviously not true for all, clearly. this is literally like a cutsey v-tuber style affectation designed specifically to hide their sinister intentions. Like, genuine baby talk, and it's always funny when they eventually lose their temper and slip into their real voice, which is like shrill spiteful bog crone hiss.

Dell_Zincht posted:I asked how many American Michelin starred chefs there are, not how many Michelin starred restaurants there are in America, dipshit. Not sure why area would matter for Michelin stars, but population wise California, New York state and Illinois only have 3-4 million people more than the UK. Limey's can't even do math right

She is the principal of a local school and he works there as well as a general handyman. It's a pretty good setup they have going. Anyway, she had never been to England before so a few years back they took a trip there. It turns out that being a principal is the equivalent of being a "head mistress" so she was instantly elevated to a high class and was welcomed into all the fancy establishments. He though was classed as just a "dirty janitor" and none of those same places wanted anything to do with him, but held their noses and put up with him as long as she was with him.

Lol you don't have to be upper class to be a headmistress, my headmistress when I was in secondary school (equivalent of your high school? I really don't get how the US school system works, you have college and university and we have both of those but they're different, anyway...) My headmistress was my best friend's mother and she was common as muck, basically. Yeah they had money but they didn't show it.
