Not a "lamp", as such... But pretty much accurate.Do you have to rub a magic lamp to get served there?
Edit: And ninja'd again. Thanks a pants load, @Erei!

Never had one. They were a modern invention, I shagged off to the States in 1996 and been stuck here since. Every visit home I'm more and more impressed by stuff though. Can get pints other than stouts and lagers in the pubs these days, if you mention the words "medium rare" in a restaurant you're not thrown out for being a heathen, and there are more pizza options now than Four Star and those frozen mini yokes. (Now I'm gagging for a Dough Bros chicken tikka pizza as well...)
It's also illegal here. But our police isn't that into taking these gangs face to face. You know, tolerance for other cultures and that stuff.
Rubbernuke would like a warning if the only news about powerplay is going to be a couple characters mentioned in an upcoming galnet article and that's it (minus new bugs introduced in patch 5). figure you hear things on the grapevine we dont.
the CM's were not their usual 100% dismissive ways regarding PP in the roadmap thread ...which is just giving him lots of false hope.
Tell me about it! I remind myself of that all the time when some poor foreigner is trying to make sense of our utter nonsensical language.
Are you living in Ankh Morpok by any chances ?
NSFW?Gross! Where are the NSFW spoiler tags?! I'm SO reporting that!
Not Suitable For Wombles ???
They're in the kebabs. Just saying.
Edit: And ninja'd by @Fishy this time. That's it. I'll just shut up now. Could you guys at least tone down the celebrations a bit, huh?

Spoken like a person who's never enjoyed a bag of Hunky Dorys cheddar and spring onion.
The only American crisps I find remotely acceptable are kettle chips (in their various guises) but specifically these jobbies:
Salty cold tea? No wonder Americas the way it is.Instruction unclear, tea was dumped in Boston harbor instead.
Hot water over tea leaves, milk (or milk first and scald it if a purist).
Nah Germany, and believe me Ankh Morpok is nothing against reality sometimes....
Not sure there's a problem with leaving the country. It's getting into the country you want to go to that's the issue.
I'd hate for you to leave, though. We're famously hospitable, and if we aren't, it's because we're not Texans
I'll buy you a beer and a steak any day of the week and twice on Sundays (after church, of course). Come on down, pull up a chair!
isn't there like a thousand miles of at least one side of that state that a good portion of the people of that state keep trying to build a wall on? hospitable .... pushing the definition there.
Not sure the Ex colonies have gotten the hang of kettles
Explains the better quality during that time
Water tasted funny for weeks. But since it was salt water, only the fish complained, and who gives a honk about those critters, amirite?Instruction unclear, tea was dumped in Boston harbor instead.

oh for hells sake.. you're a kettle chip person? Those thick cut disgusting things come fresh feeling stale in your mouth.
No.
I've "only" moved in here from France in 2003, and yeah, even over that timespan, the change has been massive. Every pub seemed to only be allowed to serve Guinness/Smithwicks/Carlsberg, whereas now we're drowning in microbrews from every corner of the country, and my local supermarket stocks it all. Same for food variety, both in shops and restaurants. Funny you're mentioning Dough Bros, they're the big success story from my kids secondary school.
