riclad

Making tv and radio show,s ,when uk comedys are good they are brilliant .The office, fawlty towers , etc
Can you think of one funny rte comedy show ?
batchelor,s walk is the only one i can think of.
Reality tv , many shows are invented in the uk, and then exported all over the world, dancing with the stars ,who wants to be a millionaire .
I think they have dozen,s of small independent production companys ,
so they are constantly trying out new idea,s ,and of course they have excellent drama school,s , so they produce great actors some of whom end up in hollywood movie .

The Lyrics Board was invented in Ireland. It might have been rubbish, but the format has been exported all over the world.

Also, Emmerdale was based on The Riordans.

I don't know about British people but English people are the masters of passive aggressiveness and faux respect.

British do queuing, arrogance, genocide better.

Better at

Arrogance
Pathetic yearning for a past that never existed in reality
Propaganda particularly when it comes to monarchy
Rewriting history especially anything to do with their army and their so called empire

Lots of this. Good at backslapping and fake laughter too

But not pronouncing the 'WH' sound. Or the letter 'R' (with their non-rhoticism ), but some of them do like to stick in an 'R' sound where there isn't an 'R'.

In fact, they stick an R in at times which is curious, 'I have an idear'.

Not to mention them discussing 'former world snooker champion Ken Dockerty'

That’s because no one’s thought them how to pronounce it I guess.

There is a name Dockerty so they are not pulling it out of thin air but I'd imagine Ken introducing himself or his manager doesn't say Dockerty.

Even now, after everything that has gone on over the last 3 years, senior UK journalists and media outlets still spell Leo Varadkar's name incorrectly which is bad form at this point.

To be fair when that was uncovered it's been accepted and is being faced up to, at least by the public. There has been a general acceptance that bad stuff happened and it's something we need to deal with and take on board as part of what went on in this country.

Scandals from the UK with strong parallels: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Children - this one doesn't get nearly the level of attention it should, or I think that it would if it had occured in Ireland.

I also think we faced up to the blood services scandals far earlier. That's still very much only emerging in the UK, even though the causes were very much the same - contaminated imported blood products.

Ah for good Jaysus, the church scandals and industrial schools abuse had been rattling on since the founding of the state and even before, people pretended it wasn't happening in simpler times, people thought the religious and "their betters" knew best, the mother of all cover-ups. The dogs on the street knew they were bad places to end up in.

Sorry but nothing beats Dublin Italian chippers.

The chippies in the UK rarely have smoked fish and the chips are too greasy after being taken out of the fryer. I am a bit of a connoisseur of fish and chips and have to say we do it better. I am referring specifically to the Italian Irish chippers
