Title: Be prepared, UK.
Post by: Grandy on October 01, 2008, 08:12:16 PM: *Voice over*

This Winter, Grandy is coming over.

And nothing.
Will be.
The Same.

*awesome movie trailer full of explosions, then cuts to Grandy inside Big Ben's Clock Tower, surrounded by armed men*
Grandy: Tally ho, old chap." *jumps off of one of the clock's face as the clock explodes*

Coming Winter 2008

....

That'd make an awesome movie or not? At any rate, I'm really going to travel over there, and just wondering, since there are some british people over here (I think. Red? White? Under which rock are you guys?), is there any culture things I should know?

Post by: Dragonium on October 01, 2008, 08:41:53 PM: I love you Grandy.

Culturally you should remember that we love our tea, most of the population are big fans of sport (Football in particular) and thusly take it far too seriously, and a lot of people are stupid. You'll be fine.

I look forward to hearing from you. Or throwing things at you. Whichever.

Post by: Moosetroop11 on October 01, 2008, 08:47:04 PM: You might be disappointed by our dialect XD There's a serious lack of 'Tally ho's here.

I'm thinking possibly me, you, dragonium, sexy party. But, you know. You might not be cool enough, I dunno.

Post by: Dragonium on October 01, 2008, 08:51:17 PM: I support that idea provided I can get out and Grandy isn't one of those rapist people.

You know, like Archem.

Post by: ZeroKirbyX on October 02, 2008, 12:56:59 AM: Fuuuuuck I still want to go there.

Post by: Djanki on October 02, 2008, 01:03:13 AM: Go ahead and have fun for me, Grandy, for my sake. It might be that my trip to Spain will be put on ice.

Also, I think our mutual friend, Gutsman, has an appropriate theme song for this moment. Gutsman?

People who look like chavs

Post by: Bluhman on October 03, 2008, 09:05:24 PM: Wait, for the UK folk, do you refer to these various things as

Bathrooms, Gas stations, Football players, and Elevators

or...

Washrooms, Garages, Footballers, and Lifts?

Just asking. A friend of mine went over there once and said there were definite differences.

Post by: Archem on October 03, 2008, 09:14:01 PM: What the hell is "petrol"?!!
Title: Re: Be prepared, UK.
Post by: Dragonium on October 03, 2008, 09:30:09 PM: Bathrooms, petrol stations (garages sometimes), footballers, lifts.

At least round here. Dialects are faggy.

Post by: Cerebus on October 04, 2008, 01:44:08 AM: It's also the same thing with French and Quebecer. Except that we do speak very differently.

You're lucky. The farthest I went was Toronto... I'd like to go outside of Canada some time.

We brazilians think portuguese people speak funny. Maybe its the same thing with americans and british.
Well, grats grandy. Go ahead and leave brazil forevur.
Well, I don't know how it is from the Brit side, but most Americans think that a British accents are more profound and commanding sounding. Has something to do with all those consonants. I can imagine that Americans sound lazy and/or uneducated. Correct me if I'm wrong, someone.

Post by: Moosetroop11 on October 04, 2008, 11:20:13 AM: We have some really rubbish ones too... You call it 'gym class', we call it 'P.E' which stands for 'Physical education'... What's with that?

It's actually the same in portuguese. Educação Física.

Title: Re: Be prepared, UK.
Post by: Moosetroop11 on October 04, 2008, 06:38:57 PM: Oh yeah, I forgot the thing you have to prepare for most importantly. Rain.

Not always heavy rain, but on and off, cold, dreary rain. Forever.
Title: Re: Be prepared, UK.
Post by: Archem on October 04, 2008, 07:01:04 PM: Yeah. That's all that country is, after all. Forests and small, colorful shacks.

Oh, and over here (at least, in this part of Texas. Can't vouch for the rest of the nation), we call it P.E., too.
