FP edit - First time on front page thanks everyone.

Instead of sending stuff to my inbox (if you actually do that. I have no idea) and you would like to help the city of Manchester there is a just giving page trying to raise £2 million to support the families of those killed and injured in the attack. If you would like to donate the link is at the bottom.

Thank you all!

When you don't hear what someone said after the third time so you go "oh ok haha" and suffer eternally, never knowing what they said.

Those are just the posh ones. Us commoners have gone from "leave it out .." to "Oi!" And the Welsh are currently " Tampin!".

British take mass killings of their own very well. In the US, we tend to get upset when terrorists attack and slaughter innocent people.

It's shocking and sad indeed when these events occur, but co-opting grief and/or grief porn is shit that need to stop. Does my head in.

The English are kind of infamous for emotional repression amongst its society. "Stiff upper lip" and all that...

How hard is it to spell AISLE correctly??? (As in grocery store not a waterway.)

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

Isle is an island, no?

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yes you are correct. That is what I meant. Sorry about that.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Anyone else think that this is in poor taste? It just seems to show a massive lack of empathy rather than a resilient hardy spirit.

If you cower in terror, they won. If you bankrupt your country in a pointless war, they won.

Is the title correct? I'm sure I've seen the John Cleese one before. I think these may have come out after a different incident, one that /1

appropriate response to the deaths of children. /3

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

They absolutely are upset about the slaughter of children. What they're trying to do is show the terrorists this wont stop their way of life

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

The John Cleese one is about another incident, but the timestamps on each tweet show they're about Monday.

And that's not even British anger's final form. Try queue jumping if you want to see that in action.

tbh nothing in america pisses me off more than that either.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Yeah, a lot of these aren't exclusive to the Brits

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

"Excuse me, but can't you see there's a queue??!" (Goes on to mutter something something rude something something complain to the manager)

8 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

Standard practice is to tut loudly, shake your head and make other disapproving sounds but not actually say anything

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

We WILL tut, we WILL look around in an exaggerated manner and we WILL share awkward glances with other queue members about the situation!

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

A knowing sigh. Consider writing to your MP. Discuss many hours later over tea "You'll never guess what happened in a queue earlier"

Aisles are in stores. Isles are in oceans. Thank you for your time.

What is it that makes you think your better than other people?

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 17

Mostly it's just being better than other people

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Just sharing a commonly confused spelling. Like "your" and "you're" for instance. If the devil's in the details, details are important.

Probably his correct understanding of the difference between aisle and isle.

We take care of our kettles... It is a tragedy when one breaks, and only after a responsible amount of time may we get a new one.

It could be worse. If Canadians use the wrong familiar term, they get thrown in jail & their maple syrup rations are dropped 15%.

I grew up with a couple of Newfies. They were pretty loose with the terms.
