Yeah my parents forced being British on me when I was growing up

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 59 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They’ve got camps for that these days, check out ‘Pray the UK Away’.

There's a brexit joke in there somewhere

My condolences

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 83 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I have no issue with people being British either but I just don't agree with the lifestyle.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

Love the sinner, not the sin.

The Bible says Adam and Eve, not Adam in Southend-on-Sea.

[–] BluesF@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

But they did live in Eden, we've got a bunch of those.

[–] assassinatedbyCIA@lemmy.world 57 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I just don’t like the British lifestyle being forced down my throat. They even have an anthem and such. Why can’t they just be quietly British. I don’t rub my non-Britishness on them.

[–] Aksamit@slrpnk.net 20 points 1 month ago (6 children)

They even have an anthem

You referring to Mr Brightside? Or do we have a new one yet?

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

My country, ‘tis of thee; sweet land of liberty, of thee I see.

Damn I miss the age of parody lyrics being the highest form of insult. We should go back to that. (Yes, fellow Americans, that song that literally all of us know is just a trolling parody of “god save the queen” and most people don’t know that which makes it even more funny.)

Americans cannot relate to this.

Being Br*tish is an abomination, why can't they just be normal?

[–] Biskii@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 1 month ago

You can swear on the internet. On second thought, maybe that one is best left censored

🎵 He'll save children, but not the British children 🎵

When I worked at a movie theater, I had a customer refund their tickets because of the actors with British accents

Live your life but please don't do that in public for my kids to see

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nobody show this guy Taskmaster Junior.

[–] Biskii@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago

I'm so stoked to watch this. I loved Rose and Mike, and I'm so excited to have them back. They seem like perfect picks for their roles. Kids should make it extra goofy. I haven't been able to watch any TM for some months, so I'm going to have a lot to catch up on

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 month ago

Do they really have to expose us to their lifestyle like that? How will I explain this to my kids

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago

Goddamn Peppa Pig is indoctrinating our youth!

[–] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 1 month ago

That's funny, I have the opposite opinion. Seems like it's something you should grow out of

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ey r rkid there ain’t no need for that you muppet

[–] el_abuelo@programming.dev 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I can understand someone not wanting their kids to see the Scottish. But the English and the Welsh? Those people live SOUTH of the wall.

[–] Owljfien@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

The one made of corn? Doesn't sound very structurally sound

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

My spouse's parent was British but fortunately didn't raise them that way.

[–] ReiRose@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Just wait until you find out about pantomime Dames

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Perfect for gothic teens.
