Interest confirmed here.
So I was searching for a new wallpaper for my desktop, a Funal Fantasy one, so I went to Google and did the usual 'FINAL FANTASY 15 WALLPAPER' search. It came up with a nice image but it was the wrong size, so clicked 'Search by image' and got taken to the page where all sizes of that image come up. Clicked on 'All sizes' and, for some reason, Google changed the search terms to 'nicholas cage final fantasy' and I'm currently lol'ing at the results.
I lol'd
I'm up for it, obviously.

Hey Britgaf quick question.. I'm studying in the UK for the year. Is Bonfire night a big deal? Would it be a shame if i missed it? I am studying in Leeds but the bonfire isn't really that close to the University. Is this like a big deal? I would ask my classmates but I don't think there is a single british person in my program
Thanks
Thanks
Do you like fireworks? The night mostly consists of standing in the cold and watching them and that's it. Unless you know of someone hosting a private party it will just be you standing around in the park. I'm kind of lucky and I can see them a bit from my window.
If you live in an area that keeps up with the traditions you may have some local kids still doing the penny for the guy, preferably 21st century style where the guy is a real member of Anonymous because they all wear that damn mask without knowing what who Guy Fawks is.
Also unlike Christmas it is the most annoying holiday that people celebrate early.
Stay in the comfort of your own home and watch fireworks from afar.

Ok thanks. I was wondering why I've been hearing fireworks go off randomly in the evening all week.
Unless you're taking a girl to see the bonfire as a date then naah, no big deal. Considering that the majority of families (and delinquent teenagers) buy fireworks and have their own firework displays in their backgarden, I'd recommend you stay in your warm, cosy home and the second you hear the first bang you head to your nearest window and enjoy the show.
Great, now you'll get the NSA and GHCQ all confused.
You do realise we are celebrating that they failed to blow up the House of Lords and assassinate the king? That's why we used to burn effigies of Guy (well to be fair effigy burning does still happen in some parts of the country). So the only thing you'd be blowing up is Catholic churches to show 'em who's boss.
Ironically it was an anonymous letter that revealed the gunpowder plot. Betrayed by the very people who idolise them.
Jackben
bitch I'm taking calls.
Yes. I just got it mixed up with parliament.
Which is why it's ironic all the anti-establishment and anarchy movements idolize Fawkes. The entire holiday is really just advocating conformity. "Remember that guy who tried to do this? He was burned. Don't forget the price he paid."
Sorry, it's just amazing how many people don't actually bother to do about five seconds worth of reading to see what the holiday is about. Doesn't help that the V for Vendetta film completely screwed up what it is about, especially by making it about Bush and American Government in British clothing. In some ways it's like me thinking the American Revolution was caused by Zelda mishearing someone talking about selling garments because I saw it on Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
And to be fair parliament consists of the House of Lords so it isn't totally wrong.

I'm just glad we don't have any event where we celebrate with fireworks. My poor dog is scared to death by them whenever Halloween comes about. She just shakes in fear.
Yeah, put me in the BGBW fan club. One of the few Nintendo fans I can cheerfully tolerate.
love ya, petal.

I want to join your club, Micky Flanagan can fuck right off. Comedy is not mentioning Lidls and having that be the entirety of the joke. Fuck him.

Keep an eye out for it, maybe it wont be Lidl every time, but it seems that at least 50% of his jokes revolve around some cheap piece of British culture. One day it'll be Lidls, the next a Fray Bentos pie or the Spar shop.

I hear Glasto is a good place to pick up a middle class white girl, go for it.
People who talk shit about Glastonbury are ridiculous.
"Oh, it's too middle class and well known, ohhh too many people go because it's cool and WHAT IF THEY DO THEIR HAIR AND TALK ABOUT HIPSTER SHIT AT A FESTIVAL?? I need my festival to be unpopular and shit, otherwise how will my favourite sweaty metal band from the 90s stand out so well in the lineup?"
I've not heard a single person who's actually BEEN complain about it.
Glastonbury > your favourite festival.

lol so defensive! I was just saying that if you wanted a pretty blonde white girl with backcombed hair and massive sunglasses who says "yah" a lot, glasto is this field to be in.
No way is Glasto better than the Gathering of the Juggalos. No..freakin' way.
Not entirely sure why you emphasised on race twice but hey! I'm convinced! Glasto 2014!

They don't let brown folks in FACT. You might need to white up a bit there brah
fakeedit: I am feeling joyously cunty today, better stay out of gaming side...
realedit: I would LOVE to go to the Gathering but I'm scared. I am round and bearded so I could go in disguise one year...
I was listening to Bobcat Goldthwaite on Joe Rogan's podcast and he told this awesome story about a clown who got knocked out my a beer can luzzed at his head as they were driving around the festival. Those juggalos know how to git dowwwwwn.
I have to be with you loada class warriors about!
...and make that blonde a redhead and I'll take that any day of the week.
Especially if she knows what foie gras & has been to Royal Ascot at least twice, my nan would be so proud of me.
You know the level to which Kentpaul hypes things, but they never actually get to?
That's Glastonbury.

I'm just bitter because I have never been in those girls' league, and when I see them in the front row of glasto on telly i'm filled with potent rage and misogynistic lust.
He posts in the whatsapp group a lot, I'm not sure why he's not been in here lately
Festivals aren't about getting your cock wet
If you're in a state where you're physically able to maintain an erection at a festival then you're doing it wrong.
