In the next film, Jason Bourne hides in plain sight with a man bun and by putting on 20 pounds and selling used cars in some resort somewhere. The Feds are stumped.

What about Miranda Tapsell who is the cutest button in all of buttondom?

Casey - what a guy!

She feels moved by the peasant peoples, their simplicity, their spirits and hearts. Their ability to make happy from nothing. They live in hovels and do not care. Whereas I grow pensive and cruel if I don’t get my correct kind of coffee in my townhouse in New York or Berlin or Belgrade or whatever. Is her mind really…

Basically. She is saying they aren’t human like what she is.

She just treated them like dolls or waxworks and/or props. I think she is a fucking crazy person personally but I guess that is ART. Some white artist using traditional dress from other cultures as “juxtaposition” of contrasts etc etc is high school level thinking art. Boring and limited.

Samantha and Magnolia are just mind blowing beauty.

Excuse me or ‘Hi can you help me?’ or similar non gendered neutral and polite opener. Each region of the UK has it’s own version of “miss” or “son” or other ways to say “You there”. As an American, you wouldn’t use them and they get very confusing to unravel. But it is good to know if you travel.

Fast service - too speedy - just means to me “eat and leave”. It is kind of the intention. I figure this is to be expected.

LOL you cherry pick the best. I know British people who are extremely uncomfortable with the over-eager US service model where they take your plates away ASAP and ask ten times if you need anything. And I know Brits who don’t tip because they don’t know what is this thing what in America.

Not offensive maybe but nobody says it here* and when you say it to a younger person, it may be age shade. Or read as such. I am sure it is fine to say so but when you have 22 year old white rich kids barking “MA’AM” at you. You do wonder. Excuse me works fine on its own. :)

Doll magic was a regular Elizabethan thing pre Americas. They called them poppets.

The only thing about this topic that tells me is that people don’t like Americans. I can believe that. Who would have thought? Americans hated in the world. :) Or didn’t in the early 80s or whatever. British people can at times be rude. Again, who’da thunk. Most Americans I met working in tourist Edinburgh were polite…

This is not an accurate or widespread reflection of small business owners these days. You maybe came here a long time ago. Today people are feeling the squeeze. I guess more that the fucking SUN decided to pick on a little guy who has reservations about a behemoth of a cult (Potterdom) and whether it relates to him…

I think if they are going to small shops in Huddersfield (not exactly a wealthy town), they are probably unable to go to Potterworld. Financially speaking.

Yeah I really disliked JK for doing that. He is a small business man from a regional UK and has done no harm. Heaven forbid someone should criticise St JK. This may have real concerns for his livelihood when the Pottertrolls get hold of it. I hope he has a spell for that.

Dublin swearing is some of the best swearing on the planet so don’t blame you.

Depending on context, cunt in Scotland can also mean “likable rogue”. Sort of “ah come here yer wee cunt”. I honestly think it is just the taboo of the word that kept it going rather than the gendering. It is almost a unisex word these days.

Wow that is crazy. Even we British people call it a donut these days which is lazy again, corporate chains. Though yes doughnut is correct tell that to anyone under 30. Keep on flying the flag for traditional spellings, Canada. I love you for it. :)

Wiener means something from Vienna in German. I am sure they would take exception.
