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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

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!

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 11 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!

[–] ReginaPhalange 2 points 11 months ago

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

[–] I_Fart_Glitter 2 points 11 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?

[–] Beefytootz -2 points 11 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

[–] gmtom 7 points 11 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 11 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.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001 6 points 11 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

[–] this_1_is_mine 5 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Sylver 4 points 11 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 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] gnomesaiyan 2 points 11 months ago

Cold brewed tea is my jam.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (4 children)

The brits have no clue about making tea.

[–] Mr_Blott 11 points 11 months ago

We have no clue about making *shite tea, aye

[–] Cornelius_Wangenheim 1 points 11 months ago

Seriously, most of them use tea bags.

[–] cashews_best_nut 1 points 11 months ago

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

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

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

[–] Mr_Blott 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Sounds like you need colonised, old chap

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Affix bayonets!
