The TPU UK Clubhouse

[Space Lynx]

I love the UK, but my wallet is hating me. Just rented a car again for three days next week. 90 quid total, its an automatic, that includes the insurance, so the price is fine, but eating out is killing me.

ffs. I just ordered me a Sainsbury grocery delivery, going to try to eat in more. or make me pb and j to take with me on the drives.

problem is the peanut butter in England is pure shit compared to America, ffs lol

I was thinking of tyranny in general(Nazism, Stalinism), but that's a good example.

Honestly, I don't think modern-day democracy, capitalism and common mentality are very far from those, but that may be a topic for another time.

Edit: Speaking of which, has anyone watched the series called "The Man In The High Castle"? (I think it's Netflix)
It's set in the '60s in an alternate universe where the Nazis and Japanese won WW2. It is very interesting, highly recommended to watch. But anyway... what if the Nazis had really won the war? Would we still think about them as bad guys? Is democracy really as good as we think, or are we just conditioned to think so?

True, but no one does Fish & Chips like the British! I miss good F&C.. There was a pub near Sheperd's Bush Market that made the best seasoned chips I've ever tasted and their home-made dipping sauce... Sheer delight! Last time I was in London I went to visit only to find it wasn't there any more.. My heart sank..

There is no "british" peanut butter. I don't think there ever has been. The main stuff i see in Britain is sunpat, and that is not British, there is not no native British peanut butter afaik

You might get Your Yank stuff in the foreign section in Tesco

True that American peanut butter is the best, probably because it has twice the peanuts and 4 times the sugar

I prefer sugarless brands like Adams.

@Tatty_One
Why is that funny?

I use Costco peanut butter, I don't have it with me obviously, but from what I remember it uses a rare peanut only grown in New Mexico, and doesn't have all that much sugar. I think the use of molasses is the main difference, but again I am unsure.

There is a famous place in Galway Ireland called McDonagh's and no one beats their fish n chips. I agree with you otherwise though yes. I had some fish n chips last week at a pub in Cornwall, and it was fantastic... giant fish too... I left stuffed, and you could tell it was a whole fillet.

Hi,
I might have to switch to jiff
Peter pan seems a little to alphabet to me now days

Switch to what you want, it doesn't need any drama.

Can someone explain to me why so many girls I have met in England like to do Tarot cards? I seriously don't get it. It's made up shit, but they believe it... or is there something I am just not getting?

Sometimes I just want to be like Henry David Thoreau and go live in the forest, the world just doesn't make sense to me anymore, in a multitude of ways.

 

[lexluthermiester]

I seriously don't get it.

Me neither. To me it's just plain dumb.

It's made up shit

Yup, it is.

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
Think they all want to be witches but usually start with b already so it's short jump to the other

Don't forget the native religion in Britain is paganism it just got portrayed as witchcraft so the Romans could kill it off and take over. Not that any tarot card reading fruitcakes probably even know that.

I live here and don't get it either.

Has anybody tried using 4G or 5G as home broadband? I've never thought too much of any wireless technology, but doing a quick speed check made me think.

To the left: mobile signal in my area. To the right: my home internet, which is the highest available cable broadband package in my area.

That's on your WiFi though what speed do you get via hard-line, I've looked at grabbing a ZBT router and using a 4g connection as a failover would have been handy today fibre has been out all day.

It's the same via Ethernet. This is what my phone line allows.

Was paganism, it isn't anymore, it's a Christian native country that's open to other religious following.
Paganism intrigues me, because no info got retained after many invasions wiped it from the earth.

Myths don't do it justice in all probability.

Wow I know Britain's infrastructure was awful but I didn't realize people were still in the stone age I'm in the Thai countryside and heres my 8 quid a month connection.

Not bad. I pay 26 Great British Rubbles for this POS. That's why I'm wondering about switching to a 5G home broadband when my contract is over. I just want to collect some info first, as I've got my worries about anything wireless.

I read somewhere that when it comes to the quality of wired internet connections, Britain is somewhere on the bottom of the list of countries, way below some developing ones.

 

[ThaiTaffy]

just like Britian's native language is anglo-Saxon, native people are Celts and Saxons and the list goes on theres still plenty of remnants of paganism the bible is full of them you still celebrate pagan holidays things like Halloween and so much more they neglect to teach you in school.

While I thought you meant that even that's dubious since pre history, anything could have gone on but I get you, as best we know.

I didn't want others thinking we all still got along via paganism though either.

its the price of data on 5g though and the router cost it might even be cheaper to grab a usb dongle and some sort of typical router that supports usb

most things should be left to the free markets, but as Japan has proved, trains and fiber optic internet should be government run/subsidized.

I could sign up with 3 (Three) for the same monthly price. They would even send me the router for free. I'm just afraid that being a wireless technology, it wouldn't be as stable as a cable connection.
