I need to get a hot Asian girl... oh right... I need to get that girl to make a TikTok about how Britian doesn't really exist and the whole thing is just a Monty Python skitch.

I've been seeing a lot of stories in the news about how Charles won't be King. Nobody knows how to throw shade like the Brits.

In the UK, another word for mother is mum, so mummy is the diminutive that is often used by small children... and Prince Charles.

And Savile. I wonder where Charles would have picked up "That" habit?

Internet? Link, please. I just gotta see that!

A bit off topic, but did you know that the "Internet" doesn't have an address?

Since we don't have any British posters on this site...

Just as well you're only joking, because there are enough British posters here to bury you under a cairn, one stone each!
Incidentally, only Londoners like jellied eels. I'll have shepherd's pie instead (authentically made with real shepherds).

Look at the alternative; I've seen US Presidents, French and German Presidents, Australian and New Zealand Presidents, Turkish Presidents etc....and now we have a Russian president..

As the Obama-Trump-Biden saga has been showing us, having an elected head of state means that half the nation feels alienated from them, which means half the nation can't identify with their own national representative. A recipe for division.
Now we have some one who is above politics AND trained for the role, which you would not get by drawing random names out of a hat instead.

After Obama I did say that maybe the Queen would think about taking us back, if we wrote a nice apology and maybe sent a fruit basket or something.

Not the cheap fruit baskets either.

One of the fancy ones.

With strawberries.

Nah, just give her the back taxes on all that tea and I'm sure all will be well.

I've met lots of posh, privately educated and upper class people; its true, most of them are complete twats.
But I've met enough decent one's as well to know its the system that's at fault not necessarily them.

He's actually pretty unassuming, you wouldn't know his family owns a chunk of Scotland.

A chunk of Scotland is actually called a centigrade, or a metre.

FACT!
