Damn im back

I wish there was just one person who wouldn't turn away from me.

Some people get hurt and broken so much they lose all hope for happiness and love.

How often can you break until there is nothing left of you?

My life, for the most part, has been very stale and colorless. Dead, I mean. The world has always been an empty place to me. I was incapable of enjoying even the simplest things. I felt dead in everything I did.

People like us never feel good enough, because no one has proven us otherwise.

This is the funniest tweet I’ve ever seen.

Dude, you can’t just post this without showing what that guy casually described as “a plate of fish and chips”

scope-dogg

How much of a twat do you have to be to have fish and chips that looks like this

Can someone explain why this is so bad to us Americans in the audience? I mean. Besides that it looks pretentious and fancy, especially with how those “chips” are stacked. Those chips look. Not good.

Yeah the chips look stupid and I have no idea what’s in the bowls, but that fish looks divine.

Look at that fucking fish! So crispy and toasty and caramely.

I assume tartar sauce on the left and people in the notes were saying peas on the right? If they are they look gross. But tartar sauce looks normal. Just not enough of it for that amount of fish and chips…

Ok so.

Chippy is…kind of a sacred aspect of British culture. Specifically British working-class culture.

Most of us will have memories of going to the chippy on a Friday night with your dad, him getting the family’s orders, warming yourself on the heated counter or being plonked next to the till while your parents chat to the family that runs the chippy and what have.

Then you get home and it’s a feast and the clan gathers round. You dole out your individual meals and then have a few bags of chips between you all and you all sit down together like Vikings after battle. Your plates are STACKED with food. It’s cheap, it’s nasty and it’s full of flavour. There’s salt and vinegar everywhere, you found out Mr Hu gave you an extra pack of prawn crackers and you all go nuts. It’s the weekend and you can relax now. Everyone is satisfied because it’s filling and you’ve got enough leftovers for chip butties tomorrow lunch. It’s the most food you can buy with as little money as you can spare.

What Andrew Bowie is doing here is…pretty much sacrilege. You don’t have your sauces in a wee pot and a couple of chips and a tiny fish garnished with whatever fucking leaf that is. It looks like it’s being served at a posh restaurant that cost £30 for that tiny plate. You get a heaped plate of chips and an entire fish (or if you’re like me, a fishcake). It shouldn’t have been possible for him to GENTRIFY a fucking CHIPPY TEA. But the bastard managed it. He fucking managed it.

TL;DR Andrew Bowie managed to make a delicious and nostalgic meal into something sophisticated and fancy because God forbid a Tory eat the same way us commoners do.
