Yeah my parents forced being British on me when I was growing up

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 59 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They’ve got camps for that these days, check out ‘Pray the UK Away’.

There's a brexit joke in there somewhere

My condolences

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 83 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I have no issue with people being British either but I just don't agree with the lifestyle.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

Love the sinner, not the sin.

The Bible says Adam and Eve, not Adam in Southend-on-Sea.

[–] BluesF@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

But they did live in Eden, we've got a bunch of those.

[–] assassinatedbyCIA@lemmy.world 57 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I just don’t like the British lifestyle being forced down my throat. They even have an anthem and such. Why can’t they just be quietly British. I don’t rub my non-Britishness on them.

[–] Aksamit@slrpnk.net 20 points 2 months ago (2 children)

They even have an anthem

You referring to Mr Brightside? Or do we have a new one yet?

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

My country, ‘tis of thee; sweet land of liberty, of thee I see.

Damn I miss the age of parody lyrics being the highest form of insult. We should go back to that. (Yes, fellow Americans, that song that literally all of us know is just a trolling parody of “god save the queen” and most people don’t know that which makes it even more funny.)

By that band from Las Vegas?

[–] TroublesomeTalker 3 points 2 months ago

Our patron saint is from Turkey(ish), what's your point? We can steal culture as well as marbles you know.

Being Br*tish is an abomination, why can't they just be normal?

[–] Biskii@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 2 months ago

You can swear on the internet. On second thought, maybe that one is best left censored

🎵 He'll save children, but not the British children 🎵

When I worked at a movie theater, I had a customer refund their tickets because of the actors with British accents

Ah fuck, buddy. That was almost ten years ago

Nobody show this guy Taskmaster Junior.

[–] Biskii@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago

I'm so stoked to watch this. I loved Rose and Mike, and I'm so excited to have them back. They seem like perfect picks for their roles. Kids should make it extra goofy. I haven't been able to watch any TM for some months, so I'm going to have a lot to catch up on

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 months ago

Do they really have to expose us to their lifestyle like that? How will I explain this to my kids

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

Live your life but please don't do that in public for my kids to see

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 months ago

Goddamn Peppa Pig is indoctrinating our youth!

[–] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 2 months ago

That's funny, I have the opposite opinion. Seems like it's something you should grow out of

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ey r rkid there ain’t no need for that you muppet

  • This Manc.
[–] el_abuelo@programming.dev 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I can understand someone not wanting their kids to see the Scottish. But the English and the Welsh? Those people live SOUTH of the wall.

[–] Owljfien@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

The one made of corn? Doesn't sound very structurally sound

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

My spouse's parent was British but fortunately didn't raise them that way.

[–] ReiRose@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Just wait until you find out about pantomime Dames

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Perfect for gothic teens.

[–] ewo@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

As a Brit all these comments are hilarious.
