4, 5, or 6 for me please.

I ejaculated.

I think it’s pretty simple. In any given situation, don’t be crap. This means you.

I read somewhere that a parent’s job in life was to make themselves unecessary to their children.

Parent does everything for a baby, but as the child gets older a parent teaches them to do more and more stuff for themselves: getting dressed, tying shoelaces, reading, good study habits, time management, relationships, cooking, good financial practice, etc. Eventually the parent has nothing left to teach the child and is no longer necessary (though hopefully their company is still appreciated). That would be the point at which the child becomes an adult.

Also, Staffordshire oatcakes and steak and kidney pudding? Hardly ‘forgotten’!

We have !recipes@feddit.uk but it’s pretty quiet.

They eat forks?

Tough hombres!

Don’t be crap. This means you.

“… and that’s why I need you to take the power plant offline.”

I mean, sure, but I think it’s understandable that they assume that. Not many white Welsh people speak welsh, let alone POC. Surely you can just speak Welsh at them and surprise and delight them?

Given how much it seems to matter to you that fish head soup is a thing because you found it in a book, I retract my entire ‘point and argument’. It’s clearly as British as red double decker buses, fish and chips, self-deprecation, a vague sense of unease at our politicians behaving as if our country is in some way still important, kilts, Cornish pasties, lava bread and cockles, and an Ulster fry. You obviously know more about British food than I do, and are expert in all things and definitely not. to. be. trifled with. whereas I have probably never eaten food in my entire life. You’ve won a disagreement on the internet and will be able to feel powerful and vital for the rest of your day.

I grew up in Scotland.

Also doesn’t mean it’s a common British dish just because it appears in a cook book.

Peas are a shit vegetable and only get used a lot because they’re easy to freeze and just throw into a meal at the last moment. But they pollute the whole dish with their noxious flavor.

Oklahoma onion burgers absolutely are delicious and have become one of my favourites.

I’ve never once eaten fish head soup, or been offered fish head soup, or seen fish head soup on a menu, or heard of any of my friends eating fish head soup. I’m, therefore, not convinced it’s ‘British food’. Does it come with gaslight sauce?

I scrunch down in the shower tray like a spatchcock chicken.

Pfft. Beginner.

Rotate like a rotisserie chicken.

John Carpenter?

Ah, no, indeed. I meant John Christopher. Thanks for the spot!

Also like all of those people are dead.

A lot of them are also fictional. Besides, death isn’t the handicap it used to be. Oh, Red Dwarf! Plus Blake’s Seven, Black Mirror, Inside Number 9, The Inbetweeners, Friday Night Dinner, Peep Show, Spaced, The Detectorists, The Thick of It, Happy Valley, Broadchurch, Luther.

Peaky Blinders. Derry Girls.

And Slow Horses, how could I have forgotten Slow Horses?

If that’s what attracts you from that list, that’s what attracts you, I guess.
