Old World Politics - rising from the ashes

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Is the UK the new Italy
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

British and cuisine do not belong in the same sentence.

If the French didn't open their culinary schools to them and the Indians didn't bring over some curries, the Brits would still be subsisting on hardtack and scurvy.

As a young dude back in the day, I was doing the leg of my European backpacking tour, starting in London. At the hostel, they offered a "Continental" breakfast every morning.

To be safe, I stayed away from the dairy and thus avoided the cold, American-style cereas. Instead, I foolishly had the local "specialties"... everything was lukewarm, including the orange juice which was half juice and half diluted with water. Warm fuckin' OJ. Metamucil would have been better.

Even though it was the most unappetizing looking "food", I had a wee bit of it. Stewed to-mah-toes, tasteless beans-on-toast, half-cooked bacon... yeah, that's how they serve it.

8am breakfast. Releasing hot snakes on the throne until noon.

"Free" has its costs.

Instant noodles in the UK. Enjoy yourself on the continent. Best advice ever.

The Brits do make nice sausages. Unless I'm making a kielbasa or bockwurst I like to put oats in all my sausages too.
