the problem with cod is that it's quite expensive, and the fish & chip shop never seems to have improved the recipe when I go there, they just batter it a bit differently. but then again, why would they? it's the most popular fish around and it's still making them big money.

My guilty music pleasures are generally video game soundtracks, since I tend to not want people around me to realise I'm really a closet video game geek :D At the moment I'm really into the Frozen Synapse soundtrack. It's just so damn awesome:

I have a feeling that Americans only replaced many 's' letters in words, like "recognise" with a 'z' so they would have an unfair advantage against British players in a game of scrabble. And "light" should definitely not be spelt "lite"

Actually, in the UK we DO refer to people of South Asian descent (Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka) as Asian, which, while technically right (since they are from the asian continent) leads to some confusian when people of East Asian descent are also referred to as Asian.

I'm from the UK, and this thread reminds me so much of an English teacher I had when I was at primary school (what you US Americans would call 'elementary' or 'grade school.') who would have a ***** fit every time I used 'Americanisms' in my written work, bearing in mind that I used to...

a girl who is tall (i'm big into girls with nice legs), fair-skinned, long-haired, and intelligent enough to hold up their end of a conversation, but not a complete smart-arse (i'm a guy, for my ego's sake i need to be able to impress a woman with my useless knowledge). also someone who doesn't...

I thought the first CoD was a pretty damn good game, because it was probably the first WWII game around that really gave a sense of 2 armies fighting each other, rather than 'lone American hero takes on the entire Third Reich single handedly.' It also included the Brits and Russians in the...

Charlie also has 3 books released (i think they're all just collections of his articles from the Guardian and his TV reviews though). The Hell of It All was my personal favourite. I seem to completely agree with pretty much everything Charlie says, plus he was one of the major inspirations...

Poland. Britain's toilets aren't going to clean themselves :P

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (more commonly known as 'England' to most Americans). Various things I love and hate about my country: Love: HUGE variety of beers, especially ales, porters, stouts. The full English breakfast British comedy (esp. Blackadder, Mock...

Irish seems to be the consensus here, I'll have to be more specific and say Northern Irish cause, for girls at least, the accents seem to be a lot softer and just generally more hardon-inducing.

"Is this chair comfortable?" - a blonde girl asked me this once about the chair she was sitting in at the time
