As someone who used to live in Milton Keynes and sometimes has to go there because my brother lives there.
Don't go there. From what I've seen and also what my brother told me most people want to leave there but can't due to finances. Also apparently the police service there is shit.
About as exciting as MK gets.
That seems more like Devon than MK.
This is so good.

That's why I have 12 packs - I'd normally have 11, one's to bribe the customs guard.
Maybe, but they actually list the flight length. I'd assume that was the actual time you're expected to be in the air rather than a calculation based on times but you may well be right.

Is Seinfeld worth watching these days? I've always wanted to but the DVD box set was silly money on amazon, we're talking like £200. It looks like it's been reprinted though, so is currently £60... I'm tempted.
I love it, but it's not for everyone. It also takes a while to hit its stride. But when it does it's fabulously insular, misanthropic and self-aware - with a dash of the absurd.

You're a big guy.
It is excellent. The first series (Seinfeld chronicles) is bad, with the second season gradually improving. It isn't until "Parking Garage" and "Chinese Restaurant" that the series gets going.
If you like any of the modern sitcoms with misanthropic characters - AD, Sunny, Curb etc. then you will definitely like it because Seinfeld is the father of that style.
I would disagree with Sploatee: it is fairly accessible given that the comedy revolves around everyday situations that most people have experienced.
You think? I'm probably wrong. It always felt like a Jewish thing to me.

I kind of assume I'd like it based on loving Frasier and Curb and AD and liking Cheers and just a general sit-com appreciation, but yeah. I'll probably get it now it's cheap, I think, I certainly don't know what that banana fellow is talking about.
Oh, and I fucking love Sunny, so it kind of sounds like it's probably for me!
I'm writing bits and pieces of a sit-com at the moment, and sometimes it makes me sad watching all these classics. Like, I can sit and adore Arrested Development but all I can think is that I'm never, ever going to be able to write a character as good as Tobias.
Yeah, the new series is incredible. There's a couple of stinkers, but for the most part it's just amazing.

You're a big guy.
I see where you are coming from, but it was INSANELY popular in the US. Never given a chance here, but the comedy is so accessible despite the misanthropy. Things like Community, 30 Rock, AD all seem more accessible because they are cheerier and tonally positive but the comedy itself is exclusive.
It is a FIVE STAR season.
To be fair, a lot of mainstream comedy is written by Jewish people, especially back when it was filmed, giving the audience a decent grounding in Jewish culture.
True - I think in the UK it always seemed like a niche thing. It was definitely something which a lot of Jewish people watched - it felt like a pretty accurate portrayal of life! George Costanza was a legend in my house growing up.

If you're in Toronto and like to get a bit freaked out, you absolutely have to go check out CN Tower's glass floor along with the edgewalk.
I've only sat on the glass floor, but if I go there again, edgewalk is definitely on the agenda.

Nope. It's for people who want an adrenaline rush.
For people who don't want that, I bet they'll just look up if any accidents have happened for any adrenaline rush activity and justify themselves of not wanting to do it.
Edgewalks now added along with skydiving and bungee jumping as things I need to absolutely try, if given the opportunity.
I mean, if I've done stuff like this,

Hey BritGaf, my friend from school was killed last week fighting against Islamic State in Syria (unfortunately he also claims the first Briton killed spot). There's a bit of a fundraising page been set up in his memory and i'm just trying to get a bit of word out there for anyone who would like to contribute for this hero. It's all for charity, so no personal gains here.

Technically if it was for MI5 or 6 he'd not even be allowed to tell us that he was applying for a job.
So therefore, by the deduction you haven't told us you're applying for a job, I'm assuming you are joining MI6!

Brilliant. Now I've been fired. Thanks a lot.
Eh? Suspension?
I'd like for him to be shot!
Yes yes yes I vote Green and eat Quorn yadda yadda but I really don't like that man. He's in the Katie Hopkins / Richard Littlejohn bracket of the few people I actually despise.
You vote Green? Interesting.

I vote for Green, too. They are decent.
In the interest of keeping the political discussion to the UK PoliGAF thread and to ensure no aggressive debates, I will say I disagree in light of recent events.
Boom!
Yes. Thanks. Sorry if you thought I was ignoring your post.
Happy to have a pleasant discussion. I'm open minded! There's little chance of me voting Tory, UKIP or BNP though.

clarkson is a fart. an absolute fart. top gear is the epitome of anti-intelligence lad-banter waheyyy cars and aren't women stupid and oh look at that funny man with the dark skin shit. it's the sun newspaper of television and one of the few things the bbc should apologise for.
that and the child abuse i guess.

I've been mildly entertained by Top Gear before. I would totally not care about Clarkson in the same way that I don't care about Alan Titchmarsh if folk didn't get all hot and bothered about him. But because he winds people up so much I have decided to like him. Welcome to my thought process.
EDIT
Oh yes and the Greens. I totally understand the motivation to vote for them: they're a Lefter Than Labour Party that isn't the scandalous Lib Dems. But upon closer examination some of they're policies are fairly mental and I get the impression they're inexperienced when it comes to issues that aren't Climate Change or Trident.

I don't understand the GIF. are you saying you don't like Derek and Clive? This makes me sad.
I thought you'd be a Clarkson fan! I'd be wary of Clarkson being horrible about folks like me (pick one). What do you think of Nigel Farage? You know, I don't trust him but he seems quite personable.

You've exposed my ignorance, I didn't know you were quoting an actual double act. I thought that was some bizarre stream of conscience. If you put yourself in my shoes the gif makes sense.
I wouldn't say fan. I just like to exaggerate when I'm around people that don't like him in order to annoy (sorry). The last time I watched a full episode of the show was probably three years ago. I certainly like Hammond less than him for reasons I can't fully explain and don't really have an opinion on James May.
As for Farage I think you picked the right word there: "personable". He's got a certain charisma and UKIP would be nowhere without him, perhaps slightly more popular than the English Democrats. As a politician I think he's quite gifted, a good speaker and I believe he's motivated by genuine passion, something rare in UK politics.But it's just a shame about his policies. I wouldn't mind if it was just a Eurosceptic party, I think that's a legitimate position. But to get where he has he's had to take an anti-immigration line which brings all the wrong sort of people to his side, party members and voters included, so the whole issue is tainted now. When I see him I see a man trying desperately to hold all the idiots in his party in line. Without him that party is over. I imagine trying to keep it afloat is pretty stressful.
That was a kind of long winded and roundabout answer but I hope you found it illuminating.
BONUS EDIT

Politics aside, the thing that most annoys me about Nigel Farage is that he seems to have a really bad case of Hyacinth Bucket Syndrome.
