I'd watch Peep Show any day over autistic American shows like Modern Family or Big Bang Theory.

after watching peep show in 4 days, I guarantee you it is bad, unless you are a beta.
all you get in 1 episode is 2 betas trying desperately to give pleasures to a few women. then the women get bored get their harmless fun from the other beta or some secondary character.

i get confused watching American shows. someone will get gut-shot and will die slowly and in hideous pain, or they'll be run down by a monster truck and be wrapped screaming around the rear axle.. and there's a laugh track running the whole time.

lol. When I was younger, I went to a Mexican family's birthday party for their kid. I didn't know the family; just went as a friend of a friend. Me being the ultra beta pc faggot I used to be, every time the subject of Mexico came up, I pronounced it, "ME-hico". I can relate.

Pound and quid are the same thing: "quid" is a slang term, like "buck" in America. And they currently use both the pound and the Euro because of the EU.

And if the current state of things confuses you, you'd be totally lost with anything pre-decimalization.

Today, 1 pound = 100 pence (commonly "p").

Before the early 1970s, 1 pound = 20 shillings (sometimes "bob", abbreviated "/," or "s," as "/" was also sometimes used as a unit separator), or 240 pence (then abbreviated "d" for denarius, the notionally equivalent ancient Roman coin; for the similar reasons, the symbol "/" is called "solidus," after another Roman coin). Simple math will tell you that 1/ = 12d. There were also crowns (5/), half-crowns (2/ 6d), florins (2/), 6d (sixpence or "tanner"), 4d (groat), 3d (threepence, often pronounced "thruppence," or "throopence"; also called a three-penny bit), and 2d (pronounced "tuppence") coins, as well as fractions of a penny: the halfpenny (commonly pronounced as "haypenny") and the farthing(¼d), and at one point, there was also the ⅛d (called a mite. hence the "Parable of the widow's mites" in the King James and Douay Bibles). To further complicate matters, for a long time, the main gold coin was not the pound, but the guinea, which was worth slightly more (21/ or £1 1/, to be exact). The mark was also used as a unit of account (though never a coin in Britain) at points, equal to two thirds of a pound (13/ 4d or 160d).

American here, BTW.

Besides, bottled drinks in America usually list both "English" and metric capacity.

And the U.K. still uses Imperial measures for serving alcohol (though the Imperial pint is nearly 25% bigger than its American counterpart, and the Imperial fluid ounce is very slightly smaller).

You're so alpha you troll through /tv/ threads on a bengali yak herding website to make fun of people.

I get confused sometimes watching Canadian shows when they say dollar. Is it a American Dollar or a Canadian dollar? There is a big difference.

Brexit isn't complete yet.

As it stands, the Euro is accepted in the U.K. only in a limited capacity (mostly tourist-oriented outfits). Post-Brexit (if it ever actually happens at this rate), who knows?

what kind of football team is named arsenal anyways

arsenal what?

arsenal badgers?

I'm American and don't understand this, either. Personally, I use Euro style (but spelling out the month to avoid confusion, so for instance I'd mark today as 8 July, 2017, when writing out a check or dating a letter) for most purposes, and Japanese style in certain instances (as in a computer file where I might want to sort entries by date).

As an American I would justify this as a result of how important each part of the calendar is. The month implies the most information (season, weather, events, etc) whereas day is generally only useful when associated with a month. Year of course is used even less than either. The issue is assuming that the arrangement is based on length of measurement rather than importance of implied information.

>>84727838
No, "to" works as well.

Peep Show jumped the shark when Mark had a kid

Why was 8 so unwatchably bad?

>>84728383
Too much focus on Dobby, who at that point was an irredeemably shit character.

Was The Ambassadors any good? I remember watching the first episode and not being impressed.

We don't use the Euro. We rejected it because we didn't want to be tied to a shitty shared currency. Worked out pretty well.

>>84727936

liquid should be measured in volume not weight you fucking spastic... we drink pints which is halff a quart, or 4 gills, or 34.677429099 cubic inches of beer/lager/vodka, or 20 oz - but they're all retarded measurements when referring to drinks.

>>84730144
typically we don't, but there's a lot of shops in london (where peep show is set) which will take euros

they're also fine as tender for drug dealers and whatnot

i don't remember where in peep show they use euros though, i think OP was just baiting

>>84730255
I don't think I'd count Sophie and Dobby as particularly "hot"

>>84730358
the 'other main character' to the post i was replying to being jeremy, if that wasn't clear

>>84730397
Soz, didn't read it properly

>>84730316
Ah, I'm a northerner so I don't go to London much, must be because of all the tourists.

I think Mark mentions it quite a bit when he talks politics with Jeremy, but it's often only fleeting and only as confusing as mentioning dollars, as they never actually use euro.
