Question: Why is America so much better than England?We get Jim Carrey and Colin Firth switching on some shitty lights - New York gets

I have no real idea what Thanksgiving actually means apart from Americans eating funny weird food (GYAC Harry Bow of HM 'fame' went to a party last night and brought in some Zucchini cake. Courgette Cake. Seriously) and celebrities disappearing off the face of the planet for 4 days.

But look at these fucking awesome inflatable things - no, not Melanie Griffiths' lips! Thos ace Spiderman/Buzz Lightyear/Shrek things.

Ace. Come on Boris or whoever looks after "the North" - we want a parade like this - we want to stand there watching Yo Gaba Gaba dance like some amazing trippy club thing - none of this Mariah turning on the Westfield lights shit!

  • Yeah but they also do other things which I'm glad we don't do as well as those arrogant cunts - causing wars, surreptitious regime change, CIA death squads, shooting down allied aircraft, blowing up allied tanks, introducing drugs into societies,incest, body cholestrol counts and changing historical fact. Things they aren't so good at are invading countries, fighting competent enemies, joining wars when needed and jungle warfare.

    They're also pretty shit at football. Proper football.

  • We have a holiday at the end of the month in May, it's called Memorial Day. Not to mention most everyone has Thurs-Sunday off for Thanksgiving or the whole week off of you're in school. There's pretty much a national holiday every month. We even get off for crap one's like President's Day (George Washington's birthday), and Matin Luther King's b-day. We just don't call them Bank Holidays, they're just Holidays.

  • God yes. There are a few things the Yanks do better than us at, and they include action movies, cop dramas, parades, lawsuits, and coronary-inducing food. To be honest, I'd quite happily eat sweet potato with marshmallows as well.

  • We can but look and sigh.
    You never know, BoJo might have some money in the pot for a couple of floats and a brass band. If we're lucky we might even get a few clowns on stilts. Yay.

  • We have no Thanksgiving because the British don't thank people for anything. They say "about fucking time" instead. How about an 'about fucking time Day' parade with massive inflatable figures looking at the crowds below with sarcastic contempt?

  • Yeah - but they'll never get to mooch around the Donkey Sanctuary in Sidmouth on a wet Thursday in November, will they?

  • True. Bacon and maple syrup is lush. It's not an every day breakfast, but it's nice every now and then.

  • Don't knock the bacon and maple syrup until you've tried it, slimming holy moly cunt.

  • Explains Harry's early morning raving contributions to the site! When you say he brought in the courgette cake, was that via his stomach and into his desk bin?

  • HM we have Pancake Tuesday, do the yanks have that?
    Exactly.
    And lets not forget the May Bank Holiday, not the one at the start of the month but the one at the end,the daddy of bank holidays.
