Yep Hugh Laurie, it's from a show called Black Adder starring the actor that plays Mr. Bean.

His name is Rowan Atkinson, and he was also Zazu in the original Lion King.

Truly the greatest scene steal ever performed. He emanated charisma!

And could you imagine the horror of no biscuits?

Well the older family members this Xmas season will need to make do with butter cookies. Not sure they will get use to so few ingredients in them though as they are imported from Denmark.

What the hell is in that sewing supplies box?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Oh the disappointment in my youth when my all these and chocolate tins were full of my grandmother's crafts.

This would make for one hell of a sewing tin!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Did a cabal of all grandmas ever around the world meet up and decide to reuse those as a sewing kit/ashtray?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

I didn't know they made them that big! I could fit so many sewing supplies in that box! * slaps lid of tin *

Put your tea bag in the mug and put it in the microwave. Tea is ready when it comes out. Also makes the Brits upset.

Unsweetened was bad enough. People up north just forgetting it used to involve water? Just crunching on hot tea bags?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Unsweetened isn't a thing. That implies that it was sweetened, and then the sweetening was somehow undone. You have tea and you have sweetened tea. It's just like an uncircumcised dick. That implies that the circumcision was undone somehow you put the foreskin back

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

No, that would de-sweetened like decaffeinated coffee. The 'un' prefix does not implicity imply a reversal. Like how you can be unemployed without first having a job or unmarried without first being married.

We put water and a tea bag in the MICROWAVE and we heat it up and dump a bit of sugar in it and we leave the MILK in the fridge.

Actually I'm in OK, so we make it by the gallon and put it in the fridge.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (2 children)

A bit? Dude, I ordered a tea from a restaurant and went into a diabetic coma from how much sugar was in it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

I live in Ohio and have to order half cut to not feel sick from all the excess sugar.

The South took the sweet in sweet tea way to fuckin literally and it's spread all over

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

That must have been a regular sweet tea. The sweet sweet tea would a killed ya.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Well then how do you do it?

Just boil some milk and throw in a tea-bag. By the time it cools to room temp, it’s ready to add the sugar!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Get cold water. Add tea. Let it stay a few minutes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Cold brewed tea is my jam.

When I was a kid a favorite drink of mine was to take Lipton lemon ice tea mix and put it in the microwave and drink it hot. I always imagined it would be a criminal violation in many countries.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (4 children)

The brits have no clue about making tea.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

We have no clue about making *shite tea, aye

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Dresden looks awfully quiet. Perhaps you'd like it redecorating by the RAF again? :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

True, those madmen put milk into tea, can you imagine.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Sounds like you need colonised, old chap

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Affix bayonets!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Please you’ll scare the children

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Seriously, most of them use tea bags.
