Real England

UK is largely as described above, basically older Americana lovers who have no clue about the connotations

e.g. Bobby Gillespie

Aye

Today I learned that there is a Japanese punk band called "English people"* who have a number about kebabs. https://t.co/UrTLKC9vcB

I didn't know there was a Japanese band called イギリス人. One of their songs is "Sympathy for the Kebab", which is a fair title to capture the soul of my country. https://t.co/92qCCuB3rc

english people is like a pop punk horslips

where is the love for HORSLIPS

maybe within 20 years the fetishisation of unhealthy peasant food from poor 2nd-world England will be looked down upon by Japanese polite society as some politically incorrect, inverted orientalism!

how are kebabs unhealthy? no other fast food involves as much salad!

I had a very unhealthy but delicious Mexicano pizza a local fast food outlet yesterday. When I see that kebab meat eternally sizzling away, I'm more troubled by the hygiene rating * they lost than the **** they received!

There is a hilarious scene in The Other Side of Hope where a hapless seafood restaurateur tries to re-brand the place as a Sushi Bar and a huge party of Japanese tourists turn up.

on the first night! yes it is hilar

sort of surprised i haven't heard of white people doing artisanal pop-up gourmet kebabs for £9.50 each. surely this has happened

GASTRO BABS

The Typhoid Mary of dysentry.

urge to kebab rising

You guys haven’t heard about FANNY, which is opening on Stoke-fucking-Newington High Street? Couple posh tosspots decided they could do ‘healthy’ kebabs in N16 and were duly rinsed by @Mangal2 and a cast of thousands.

Chuckle Brother Paul tweeted that he had got three pieces of chicken and chips at Leicester Forest Services

For those who contacted the Police about KFC being out of chicken ... please STOP. Their website says the Prestwich store is now open if you want to follow the four police cars through the drive thru ..

amazing

learning not to swear at five o is a rites of passage thing, although some idiots don't learn their lesson after the first time!

you guys would have loved my high school

all that's missing is a donk on it

what does this mean: "he bics his hair because he's baldy"

(i understand the second bit)

Bic razor

truly he is the calum of drunken badinage

I took it as drawing dots on his head to make it look like he's still got hair, in a cartoon fashion!

does that work? asking for deems

probably about as useful as gluing your arse-hairs on your head.

the drawing dots thing is a funnier insult, bcz beano-esque

is that smiffy?

no that's wilfred, smiffy wears yellow and has a kind of tonsure

is bic as a verb a regional peculiarity?

guy in the phone booth ftw

"er... partially" is my favorite part of that

not sure which part of real england that was filmed, but bic is a verb in sheffield fwiw

my new favourite hobby is watching old clips from airline of people not being able to get on their flights . a personal favourite : mouse woman pic.twitter.com/TQwtmMAd4F

I know someone who was on this show, missed his flight and made up a complete lie, about missing his brother's wedding or something, to get on another flight. He doesn't even have a brother.

cannot watch shows about pigs or airport pigs, they make me v rationally angry

was up north this weekend. was told about a babbys yed. seems real english.

"In Wigan you can still go to the chippy with your own Pyrex dish and ask for: “A babbys yed – leave t’elmet on – chips an’ pea wet.” The translation of this puzzling indigenous language: “A baby’s head [steak pudding], with the tinfoil still on with chips and pea wet.” As to the aforementioned steak pudding it is so named due to the gentle dip in the top of the suet which bears a striking resemblance to the depressed fontanel of a new-born infant whose skull plates have yet to move into position."

mmm baby brains nomnomnom
