List of Things I Consider...Weird & European



* Fish heads...please...not while I'm eating

* Bidets. Thank God for toilet paper and showers.

* Tomatoes and baked beans on toast for breakfast. I think I just threw up in my mouth a lil’.

* Degrees Celsius ...so, how cold is it really?

* The British two-tone. Ladies, we can’t have it all. Just choose one: blonde or brunette.

* Three wheeled cars. Cute...but weird.

* Washer/Dryer combos...blow. Don't ever buy one.

* Chip (crisp) flavors such as Prawn Cocktail and Chili and Chocolate.

* Baked potatoes with warm tuna on top. I say, kinda weird.

* Marmite. Yarf.

* Roundabouts. Holy crap!

* Detergent scents. They tend to smell like candy and sometimes make me want to eat my sheets. Not normal.

* Instead of things being grape flavored, they're blackcurrant.

* Tight man jeans. Don’t look, but I think that man has something hiding in his pocket.

Two tone is HUGE in my office. Classy.

Yeah, i had to have a reality check too when I realised I was thinking about going two tone. An American expat in Britian (me) is turning British!! I am comfortable with the roundabout thing and Now I can just bring on the bloody Marmite and I will be set. Score!
Good thing I refused the highlights though.

Roundabouts are WAY less confusing than 4 way stops. Those things mess me up and if I know there's one in my way, I go around it if possible!

Totally agree on the washer/dryer combination, my drying function went from barely working (as long as you only had three things in there) to not working in about 5 minutes flat (ok, maybe 3 months...)

Kelly, how can roundabouts be less confusing than 4-way stops? No one at the roundabout ever seems to know who's going next... I stand there paralyzed watching them trying to figure it out.

Chilli and Chocolate flavoured crisps? In England?

Meg Biram said...

Re: Tight man jeans. Well, yes, the dude in the pix has his just a wee bit tight. But for those of us who grew up with _real_ cowboys, nothing beats cute cowboy butt in tight Wranglers. 'Sides, if you're not a try-before-you-buy kinda gal, you at least get an idea of what you might want to try, or buy!!!
Alternately, it is just your youth - in 10 years or so, photos of folks with the waist of their pants down around their behind will look just as silly!!!
