Nu uh. We're British, we've got the weirdness down to a tee, too [nerner]
|
You'll never meet anyone weirder than a Brit haha [lol]
|
Plus you're currently outnumbered, and we're female.
So, you were saying... [whatev] |
*sips tea*
There's no way you can come out on top of this, Poet. [lol] |
I dunno... you British are quite normal to me...
|
Trying to keep out of trouble now, see [lol]
|
Have you ever been to Britain? xD
|
No, but I want to. >w< people here are too boring!
|
I think conservative would be a good term to use? I learnt long ago that you can easily offend some American people because many don't laugh at themselves the way we do.
|
Poet finds the British humor pretty funny compared to American humor. Plus I've noticed that the British don't taboo stupid stuff like words... at least all the stuff that doesn't get censored or banned here.
|
Quite a lot of topics of conversation are taboo here, stiff upper lip and all that.
|
I'll tell you what the issue is (as I see it [ninja]) People forget that we're two entirely different nations, because we speak the same language...
But English really is the only thing that is relatively the same. As a Brit, let's list the things I have to bear in mind if I visit a foreign country: 1. Drive on the wrong side of the road. 2. Use different money 3. Different customs 4. Different LAWS 5. Different legal ages for stuff 6. Language barrier problems 7. Different illnesses that hardly anyone has in the UK 8. Different biting/poisonous animals/insects that we don't have in the UK 9. Different food 10. Different religions 11. Different racial intolerances 12. Different things that are socially acceptable 12. Different health care so big problems if you fall ill. The list goes on and on... Am I talking about France here, or India, or China? No, America... As superficially alike as the UK and the US may seem. They are actually poles apart. |
I agree 100% with what you've said there :) Even within countries in Britain there are pretty huge differences.
|
OMG, tell me about it xD The old North/South divide and all that xD Of course that exists in the US too, but it's reversed. For them, it's Southerners who get looked down upon as being ignorant inbreed idiots etc. Then the country vs. town thing. Jesus. Why are we like this?
Actually, I know. This is racial memory at work. Back when we were living in caves, and had to defend our territory because there wasn't enough food to support more people in that area, we'd have fought others off. These days, that build in survival habit is still there, but it's superfluous now. So instead, we're arseholes to anyone who's different from us [stare] |

Never come back? Why's that. I can handle mental. I went to public school =.= I saw plenty of mental people...
|
You haven't seen Essex. I've seen enough for ever... I get happy when I see the Welcome to [Insert other county next to Essex] sign...
|
Do explain. I'm curious what makes them so crazy
|
its like another world... everyone goes partying, its tacky, everyone might as well have "made in China" tattooed to their forehead with the amount of hairdye that is used, fake tan every where you go, and chavs... Essex is chav central... See you have Harlow... its still in the 70's and just disgusting, I despise having to go there but alas I should... basically... its the scumbags that live here and treat life as a joke... going nothing but sitting on their arises all day and then partying till god knows when... causing a ruckus at 4am... in short... don't come to Essex gorgeous your own personal well being...
|
Plot Twist: GG is actually a massive chav and is partying as we speak
|
Oh... sounds like home... =.= partying idiots who don't do anything with their life.
Poet doesn't like parties... so poet would avoid those types of places in general in any country |
Best ignore Edinburgh, Dundee and Glasgow if you ever go to Scotland then haha
|
I think I've seen enough rain for a lifetime tyvm XD
