Brits can be odd! The Official a2k British Quirky Sensibility thread.

I had totally missed this and am just getting it up on screen.

What makes you think that Brits find this stuff..........ooh, here comes an old lady.......HA HA!

Now.....where was I?.....no, wait... I shall be back in a mo...... what the hell is this one trying to do...?

I tend to like the brits, whatever the right word is. I would be well lost in London.
On the other hand, I've read about the english. There are dark times, including for my people, from County Mayo, via both parents, not at all funny.

So what is it you are after, Tsar? Spit or humor?

I love pretty much everything except Benny Hill type humour and class drama.

Love pythons, Stephen fry, cook and Moore, hitchhiker 's guide, the proper The Office, extras, their stand up......black books oh my!

Maybe not odd so much as easily amused.

I agree.

But I draw the line at Seinfeld.

I'd be quirky, too, if I had to consult a handbook to figure out the correct term for my nationality. Apparently, you can be British without being English, and the Welsh aren't English, but they're still Brits (or?), and somehow (I think?) you can still be a royal subject or citizen or something that's not called a slave anymore (because that's not nice now) without being either British or English. Or maybe not. I gave up trying to figure it all out. I'd be quirky, too, I think.

I adore Seinfeld. You are barmy.

Your mud puddle reminds me of something i saw many years ago. I was sitting outside a café, and i noticed that people across the street were stopping, looking down, and then bending over as though to pick something up off the sidewalk. They would jig around a little and then walk on. Curiosity got to me, so i crossed the street, and found that there was a half dollar lying on the sidewalk. Someone just ahead of me had attempted to pick it up, but failed. I looked around, and there was an office right there, with a window overlooking the sidewalk. A man was sitting in the office looking at me. I shook an admonitory finger at him, and he laughed. Long before web cams and the internet, he had provided himself the same kind of idle entertainment by supergluing a coin to the sidewalk.

Seinfeld sucked.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

As long as he doesn't get you drunk first.

After listening of love, death and dairy farming on the radio since 65 years ... I switched to that lovely puddle. Watching it is even more fun.

Humor of course. More than spit and bile.

Ah, Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese on Fleet Street! Miss London.

I'll report that some irish music makes me cry lot.

See letty's thread, re WA2k.

I don't post there because I don't like the rules, but I like her and her music.
