Being... British?

[Gallagher]

Yup Danalys got it spot on, you wanna know what british life is like n how we behave. Watch Shaun of the Dead.

 

[union_jak]

Why is it the moment we get a hot day, everyone feels they have to parade around in nothing but shorts and suncream? Honestly, this overly-dramatic reaction to the Sun is just so embarrassing for the nation.

Hey Jakky that's slander, I went out this morning in nothing but a Speedo.

 

[union_jak]

How many people stared? I haven't worn speedos in maybe 15 years. I swear, walking along the seafront I wanted to vomit so many times at the sight of saggy old people and pale fat teens acting like we're in Hawaii.

 

[Captain_BluTac]

Jak that is what we call a joke, I don't care what Simon Doonan says I am of the mindset that speedos are just disgusting, I mean if I wanted to see a strangers junk, I'd watch porn... or track down a gay strip club.

 

[union_jak]

Obviously you were joking, BenTac, the very idea of you dressed like that... maybe it would happen in BizarroWorld... but you'll always be whatever label it is (scally?) in this world.

 

[Majic Walrus]

.... Actually a lot of people I know always seem to have a cup of tea in their hand, it's mostly old ladies... they're worse than chain smokers I tells ya.

I'm actually a pretty big tea-drinker for an American. Previously mentioned English friend Emily complimented me on my diverse collections of teas from across the world.

But now, thanks to you, instead of enjoying a nice Kennelworth I'll be bitter about being an old hag all of the sudden.

I am neither a scally/chav/Townie... those days are long behind me, and now I am label-less and you damn well know it!

You should do as I do and practically give up on tea altogether, that stuff messes up your teeth like you would not believe.

 

[Captain_BluTac]

This ***** drinks tea.

I don't think I know you at all!!!!!!! scallyfauxemochavboi

This ***** drinks tea.

OMG I saw that thing in town today, enjoying the weather

 

[Captain_BluTac]

You're right you don't know me, just as I don't know you
Polish builder with a fetish for cheap tricks and transvestites. oh and you have woman lips so there

OMG I saw that thing in town today, enjoying the weather

The sad thing is how much that woman looks like my grandmother, I've seen photos of my nan when she was young and she was gorgeous and now she just looks like an evil sharpei. What's scary is that the same thing is happening to my mother... I really hope it only happens to the women in my family.

Edit: Is it wrong that I quite often get crushes on chavs?

I have nice lips

and you have a crush on anything with a pulse, I've said this before.

I know, that's not true though, it just so happens that their are a lot of fit lads in around where I live, I remember when I stayed in Redruth for a while, nothing but munters there, and yes you do have nice lips, plenty of women would have surgery to imitate them.

Actually... I would believe it. Like I said, I have a couple of British friends. You guys could get dental care tips from Klingons.

Spoiler

However... I don't drink tea, so you might have a point.

 

[Danalys]

people have to get as much vitimin d in this country as they can as quick as they can. but then there are the people who'll get burnt just so they can get a tan quick.

i don't drink tea either. or coffee or soda. mostly water, lager and fresh fruit juice.

I agree with you so much

The Sun comes out and all a sudden people are in their birthday suits. Its like that Lee Evans sketch you can alway tell the Brits on holiday because they are the ones walking around the supermarkets, stores and resturants in next to nothing

Also I got a question -White People whats up with the whole tanning obsession?

I don't get it. I don't quite understand the appeal of lying down under a boiling hot sun using a suntan lotion that is worthless until your skins red raw and then going around showing everyone at home like its some sort achievement that the sun changed the colour of your complextion as if by magic.

That said atleast its better than those orange liverpudian wannabe wags that use sunbeds and glow in the dark.

You're a bit behind, pale has been in for a couple of years now, which personally I think is awesome, you can't look hot until you look half dead.

 

[Danalys]

well it's all to do with money really. originally having an academic job that kept you inside long hours made being pale attractive. then with the introduction of more commen travel haveing a tan after going on holiday somewhere sunnyier became attractive cos holidays cost money. then holidays became cheap and vampires where hot in films thus paleness came along. but now we are going into a new phase where money doesn't matter and health does. so getting enough but not too much sun is good.

 

[Captain_BluTac]

Pale was in before this Twilight fad and **** health deathly pale is the future.

Yep

Never woman who want to do that either - always the skinny boys....or ugly men...

 

[hammy]

I assume he'd want to hatch at some point.

The Old Glasgow Kiss

My boyfriend got one in a pub once. Done nowt. This guy just comes up and head butts him. He was too pissed to care.

British people. When someone asks you your nationality do you say British or English/Scottish/Irish(You know which ones I'm talking about)/Welsh or what?

My boy-o says Welsh and let there be no mistake aboot it.

 

[Captain_BluTac]

*whisper* hammy it's Scottish people that say "aboot", not Welsh people */whisper*

Scottish people also have Heeland Coos.
