Britain Sucks and I Am Never, Ever, Ever Going There Again

Wow. Throwing an entire country under the bus. Bold.

I'm just gonna say that some of this is proving my point - our British posters here seem to get sarcasm. (Or maybe it's satire. I always mix those up)  Our Yankee posters, not so much 😀

Lol.  You had that written up just in case of a Loss, all ready to click Submit. 

I swear it all flowed out of me like Niagara as soon as I learned that they actually do roll out an inferior fake turf surface for non-soccer events ....

I suggest you don’t travel anywhere outside of wherever you are from.  Good chance you won’t like it 🤷‍♂️

I thought the reference to my English ex-wife was enough of a tell that this is tongue in cheek ...

There was a revolution for a reason.

Hey I like Oasis and Kaiser Chiefs 🤷‍♂️

[Dr.Sack]

Agreed the Bills should only play in Ireland aka East Buffalo.

As long as you don't invoke the name of The Beautiful South we'll be ok.

I say, smashing good show!!  

 

 

[ALLinALLEN]

I mean, sure?

[BillsFanNC]

I went to this game against my best instincts, given that the Bills have consistently ***** the bed against the Jags when I am in attendance. My best instincts were correct unfortunately. 

 

I cut my losses when it became readily apparent that the movie I've seen before was again coming to fruition.

 

Oh well. I beat the crowd to the tube and am now enjoying a nice dinner on the Thames.

 

The Bills will always be the Bills until they aren't anymore.

 

Carry on.

This has nothing to do with the Bills losing, and even less to do with the fact that my ex-wife is English. I swear. These are objective facts.

1. They are stupidly proud of their Greenwich Mean Time that wreaks havoc with travelers and American football teams. This made sense in 1880 when London was the figurative Center of the World. It is not 1880. Now YOU adapt. Go to Eastern Standard Time already. 

2. They are stupidly proud of their Foreign Oligarch and Hedge Fund Manager League erroneously know as the English Premier League, so much so that they protect their precious English turf grass by making other events play on a substandard carpet that wouldn't be out of place in the indoor portion of a Walmart Garden Center.

3. They have a really nice launching spot for seeing the "the Continent" (they still talk of "going to Europe" as if they are a Caribbean island) but saw fit to ruin that by Brexiting and making all of that really inconvenient.

4. They are stupidly proud of their music scene, which no one cares about other than English people living abroad (which they do in millions, creating little Englands in every spot where the sun shines more than 60 days a year), and they continue to worship horrible acts like Cliff Richard and Oasis and the Kaiser Chiefs and all kinds of peculiarly English crap. They are also stupidly proud of their "English sense of humo(u)r" by which they mean "I will insult you in the most obvious manner possible whenever you say something remotely earnest so that all may bow to my rapier sharp wit."

5. The more recent arrivals in London and a few other cities will feed you well with tasty, complexly spiced dishes. But 90% of the territory will ooh and aah over heavy, greasy, tasteless dishes (so awful that even they have invented a word - "stodgy" - to describe their own cuisine) that you are expected to compliment your in-laws about as if they've just fed you a 4 star Michelin tasting menu. And heaven forbid you encounter these people around Christmas, where you will watch them howl with laughter at things like a Christmas Pantomime, a kind of childish joke play that appears to consist of putting the least feminine man possible in a dress, making a high pitched voice drowned out by howls of laughter. Oh, and then you can all gather round to watch the Queen's King's Christmas address, the same King who, in perhaps the least arousing sexting scandal ever, expressed his desire to be his horse-faced mistress's tampon. Really.

 

Goodbye, old England. I hope Bills Nation never visits you again.

They're probably happy to see a bunch of loud, obnoxious , overweight people from buffalo go home too.

No doubt.

I can't post my self-hating anti-Buffalo rant because I'm sure I'd get banned.

Why would they be on Eastern Standard time when they are further away than California that is 3 hours behind?

 

At minimum they should be 3 hours ahead of NYC.

No reason to dampen a quality rant with logic  😂

Until now, this day has been sort of lousy. This may be my favorite all-time post. I mean that sincerely. I don’t necessarily agree with everything, but the passion and tone is Diggsian.
Thank you.

To be called Diggsian is indeed a great hono(u)r.
