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.

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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[–] Sylver 4 points 1 year 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 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] gnomesaiyan 2 points 1 year ago

Cold brewed tea is my jam.

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

The brits have no clue about making tea.

[–] Mr_Blott 11 points 1 year ago

We have no clue about making *shite tea, aye

[–] Cornelius_Wangenheim 1 points 1 year ago

Seriously, most of them use tea bags.

[–] cashews_best_nut 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Mr_Blott 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sounds like you need colonised, old chap

Affix bayonets!
