@@dbz9393 I do wonder if other cultures take it as personally as Brits do when a biscuit of any kind isn't as perfectly tea soluble as expected or desired. I wonder if it's just a funny joke to them, and not a day ruiner when 3 biscuits in a row just bury themselves at the bottom of the cup.
@AdvikRanjan-kx1vy Oh that's interesting. They're called Digestives in Britain, made by McVitie's. They're popular but I think Rich Tea are probably the most common plain biscuits used here with tea, but they're terrible for dunking, they just fall apart. You might find this comedian funny, he has a joke about dipping biscuits in tea. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KuqLqS5Xmz8.html&ab_channel=PeterKay
The way he said “For fun?” Made me think of Onslow from Keeping Up Appearances. As an American, I feel proud to be able to make that reference. 😂 Hilarious skit!
@VDViktor I will explain, using a quote from Wikipedia: "The straight man is a stock character in a comedy performance, especially a double act, sketch comedy, or farce. When a comedy partner behaves eccentrically, the straight man is expected to maintain composure. The straight man is a foil, a contrasting character to the funny man". This explains how I used the phrase 'straight man', which, in this context has nothing to do with sexuality. I hope this explains, thank you.
@@CBTCFTHey, not the person you're replying to but I really appreciate you properly explaining why the guy was wrong. I had the same question and was confused, looking at the replies I fully expected to see you replying in a rude manner. Thanks for being a wonderful human being! 😁
"A walk?? Where do you need to go??" is gold! I'm German, but my family has never gone for walks or hikes, so I didn't grow up with that as a hobby or habit. When I met my husband and his family, who are all outdoor cracks and wanted to go for walks ALL THE TIME, this was my exact reaction! Took me years to get used to
I am obviously a real German. 😊Where I come from people take a walk after lunch on Sundays. During the week weather permitting even in the evening. Then there is May 1st, Volkswandertag, the whole nation goes for a walk. There you have it.
@@user-un9dg8pw7g This was in no way intended to be rude. The thing about texting is that when you try to be funny, people should hear how it was meant to sound. I am in no way rude or intend to be so. 🤗The other thing about us Germans. We can come across as rude without intentions. We are very different from American. But if we want to find fault we can always find fault.🤗
@@user-un9dg8pw7g Just one more thing. This forum might be used to educate. I meant to inform that going for a walk or walking in general is part of who we are. Nothing else. The first sentence was meant to be funny. Guess, I am the only one lsughing.
Damn that was the most polite biscuit drop i have ever seen. Not only did it not land of the floor, it had the decency to land on the edge of the cup first to not splash and spill hot tea. You know you're in the UK when even the stuff you drop tries to do so calmly
As a dutch man who has been going to germany since i was a small boy a walk/small hike is at least 5 km sometimes 10 km which i actualy loved as a kid walking through nature uphill and down hill Gave me great endurance and walking pace thanks germany
By far the fastest walker I’d ever seen was this German girl in the office back in the day we’d go on walks and she’d lap us around the campus walking..
That cookie falling backwards and still landing in the mug is absolute perfection. Just like your dad. Liam, pleeeeease let us see more of him. He‘s so precious and seems like the sweetest dad imaginable!✨💞
As a Dane I’m shook that Brits don’t do walks. It’s the best thing ever, particularly to catch up with a good friend after a long while. I mean, where did it go wrong? In 19th century British novels all they did for fun was taking long strolls in groups or by themselves
1st generation German Canadian here. I can confirm that unless the weather is really harsh (i.e. below -30C or above +30C, thunderstirm or sleet), our family will spend at least 2 hours walking while ee catch up with each other. Oldest is 83, sets a brisk pace. 😊
That biscuit rolling out of his hand and into his coffee is hilarious! Edit: LOLLL! Okay, I concede. It's tea, no coffee. You guys win. You guys are hilarious too! 😂
I moved to Germany two months ago and I just visited 4 floors sport shop for just shoes and clothes. There was the entire floor for trekking and there was literally a bridge covered with 4 different types of things you can walk on to check out the shoes: 3 types of rocks and two types of wood. I am from Poland and honestly Germans train like they want to invade us again 😂
When I read this as a german, I must think of 'invade the US again', but I don't train that much, it's more a fashion thing I think ;) Germans really love sport shoes from Japan, do you?
We're gentle and harmless now! Don't worry! We only love our nature à bit too much. (Embracing huge trees, bathing in fresh forest air, sighing whenever we contemplate bucolic landsacapes, and becoming extatic, whenever any deer or rare species are crossing our path.) I think only our nature and wildlife must feel a bit of invaded every week-end.🦌🦊🦝 Thinking: " O no, they're back again. Kids: Watch out for hikers, mountainbikers and those guys with their nosy dogs. It's sunday again....🙄
Don't you worry, with all those Germans wearing those sock-like "barefoot" shoes, all it takes is stepping on their toes really hard and they should be incapacitated for a while! Greetings from Germany! 😅
Liam, I have just realised you’ve made my 1 year in Germany a bit warmer as for a Ukrainian, and less lonely, thank you for that. Great Family you have
@@anniebe4992 nobody, my parents are already old, for old people such drastic changes are especially hard even if it's a question of survival. Friends and co-workers run to other countries - France, Poland, UK, Canada...
That was exactly the same question my mother asked when I went to Düsseldorf for a few days and had forgotten my dialect at a friend's house. That really horrified my mother when I came back. Hochdeutsch doesn't have a native sound :P - in Bavaria.
😄 German here. Never noticed that going for a walk is such a German thing (so "normal" it appears to me) - until I found Uyen Ninh's and this channel ...
@@ericaolive Only middle class English people go for walks without a purpose. Usually because they are living in rural areas with nice scenery and low crime rates. And come from generations before the internet.
