Random pictures from the UK with snarky commentary that didn’t fit into any other posts

A country that loves pork as much as America: inconceivable.

The Loch Ness Clansman Hotel forecasting stone is as taciturn and sarcastic as actual Scots!

Gaelic Television: The highlight of my life.

I firmly believe the Scottish economy runs solely on these. God bless the Jew that most likely invented this industry.

Costa is like the Starbucks of Europe, but actually good…and they also make little stars in your coffee. Loyal fan for life here. But wait…
those stars have only five points.  I knew it. Europe is anti-Semitic.

This is a picture of Mr. B with Bonnie Prince Charlie in a village inn in the middle of Scotland where no one understood us AND did not take American chipless credit cards. If we’d been there 10 more minutes, I’m pretty sure they would have denounced us as Royalists and burned us at the stake. Because the picture of BPC told them to.

Real Scottish Food menu.  I have no idea what neeps and tatties are. Please don’t tell me.

Occupy London protesters.  Could only be.  Because who else asks for jam?

As opposed to Faringdon Without?

This doesn’t look like I’m blurrily molesting Adam Smith, right?

No comment on this statue. Except that not everything at the British Museum is classy.

Ok, last one.  Who is baller enough to have a robing room? (at Glasgow Universty)
And where is the disrobing room? Probably near the statue in the last shot.

Neeps and tatties are mashed potatoes and turnips.  Actually quite tasty.

Hmm. I thought the only people who tortured the poor turnip were the Russians.  Thanks for clarifying.

No, Europe is still mostly pagan! Also, that menu made me disturbingly hungry for smoked fish and eggs.

Hmmm… Occupy didn’t ask for pork?  What is this world coming to?

There is a Starbucks hidden behind the Occupy London tents. I have no reason to believe they don’t pop in to get coffee or use the bogs. Also didn’t you try black pudding?
