Hrrrm. But, going Dutch and Dutch courage don't have any specifically anti-Dutch connotation in modern usage and I've never heard of a Dutch treat or a Dutch uncle. At least you chaps aren't French!

Nobody does anti Dutch racism quite like the English.

Really? I don't know many Brits who have a bad opinion of the Dutch. I certainly don't; I've never met a Dutch person I didn't like.

Comes of them being conquered by William of Orange back in the day.

Billy the who now?

Well no they discourage fast driving

Not really, or at least not with the fixed cameras. They encourage speeding as normal then harsh braking just before the camera then speeding again. Just watch traffic on the motorways when a temporary speed limit is imposed. People slow down for the gantries where there might be cameras mounted then floor it to the next gantry.

Average speed cameras are a better bet if you want to control speeding, but perhaps don't make as much money.

I'm an old bastard and mostly play patience, sudoku, and cryptic crosswords on my phone. And maybe Bloons TD 6 to get the dailies if I'm away from home without my laptop.

On console I play mostly single-player RPGs but I also play PUBG. Tried that on mobile (how my kids play it) but fuck that shit!

Also, what the hell is going on with that cloud? Isn't it cold? What's for pudding? Why do policemen look so young these days? Everything was better when I was a youngster!

One of my kids once emptied the dishwasher without bitching about it. I have no fucking clue what was going on there.

Never piss on your camp fire if it's upwind of your tent. - source, was in the scouts, we did this to another patrol. Man, their tent stank.

Being a Brit, for years I've jokingly referred to the 4th of July as 'Rebellion Day' to my USian friends. Not sure I'm joking any more, just hopeful. Go on. Rebel!

One night a week of mandatory, free, tabletop RPGs hosted in libraries, council buildings, etc. D&D (or even a good roleplaying game) for everyone! Player groups are mixed up every two months to ensure multiple opportunities for bonding with new people.

Buffy.

It was just a big sloppy plateful of Beverly Hills, 90210 with a small side salad of weird shit.

TIL I'd be a big man in Thailand.

 

In Jamaica a steak pie will cost you £2.30. An Apple pie will cost £1.90. A chicken and mushroom pie will cost you £2.25. A cherry pie is £1.20 and a mince pie is £1.90.

In Trinidad &Tobago a steak pie will cost you £3.00. A rhubarb pie is £1.35 and a chicken pie (without mushrooms) is £1.20...

...these are the pie rates of the Caribbean

 
 

That's my kitchen being demolished.

Normal service will resume, if they can put it back together again!

 

All hail Yelm the one! Thou hast risen again to bless us with thine power!

Leech Woman (www.youtube.com)

Many years ago, back in the 90s, I grabbed a t-shirt to wear to go to work without thinking much of it.

It was a band t-shirt for Leech Woman who I'd seen at a gig a month or two before. Black, long sleeve, band logo and some kind of indistinct image in white. I hadn't really paid attention to the image at the time, just had a blast at the gig and wanted to support them which is why I bought it.

Anyway, at lunchtime one of my team said: "Have you seen your t-shirt?"

When I actually looked at it, the indistinct image turned out to be the naked torso of a woman with a strap-on dildo. You can see the image in the video.

Fortunately, I was the boss of that team, so I just hid from my boss for the rest of the day and never wore the t-shirt to work again.

Anyhoo.
