Restroom Signs
Restroom Signs
(OP)
I went to dinner the other night with a colleague and his sister from Ireland. She came back from the restroom and told her brother that "they did the "M" "F" thing here". He laughed and said that the restroom doors were labeled "M" and "F". In Irish, "Male" is "Fir" and "Women" is "Mná", and obviously she was supposed to use the "M". When she saw the urinals she backed out and hoped no one noticed.

Just wait until the day that buildings need a third restroom!

I know of a family restroom where there are multiple stalls and both genders can be in there at the same time.

My father always said we had bilingual English/French taps: on the right, C for Cold, and on the left, C for Chaud.

When I got in the crawlspace to fix it, I saw they had connected the red PEX pipe to the blue one. Not sure what language they were speaking to come up with that.

Sounds like the sort of thing a Brit electrician might be driven to.

The last time two guys spent half a day in my crawl space, there were 10 empty tall boys in there when I inspected the new ductwork that evening. They neglected to seal one joint and it was doing a good job of heating my flower bed out front. But they looked pretty big and rough and tough, so I fixed it myself and went on with life.
Best to you,

Adding to that the fact that a "normal" beer here is 5-5.5% and not 3%-ish as most American beers are, I wouldn't blame the alcohol.
Unless they were already drunk when they started of course.

It's pretty annoying, but after a couple of Dead Guys, I was OK with it. The biggest problem was remembering the 4-digit code for the lock on the door. It was a long walk from the bar to the head.
BTW -
I drink a lot of American beer - it's all well over 3%. (But it also depends if you are talking about by weight or volume.) We don't all drink Miller Lite.

Don't know if it was the origin or not, but Monty Python did a similar joke in their "Live from the Hollywood Bowl" show, except for their's went (with an Aussie accent) "We think your American beer is a lot like sex in a canoe...*(@#ing close to water!" either just before or just after launching some Foster's oil cans (full) into the crowd.

Fortunately, one can get it in the UK. Great beer.
(Technical tip: Duvel is brewed using a yeast strain from a Scottish brewery called McEwans, Extracted between the wars - not the US wars - there's been others!) McEwans beers now are now, with a few rare exceptions, p**swater.
Then there is the seafood in Ostend...

Also, its supposed to 'foam' (do you use the word foam in English for beer?) more then other beers. The glass has to be pretty much full. If you buy me some I'd be very happy to teach you :p
@Pud. If you order a beer in a Belgian bar, they won't serve you a Duvel. The normal beer (jupiler, maes, stella, ..) are 5-5,5%.
We have a lot of special beers, of which Duvel is one of the better, but definitely not the best, or the 'heaviest'.
If you're even in Belgium again make sure to ask for a "kasteelbier" (castlebeer) which is 13% and quite delicious. Just don't drink more then 3 in a row.
As for Belgian beers in the UK, I'm pretty sure you guys have Leffe, which is decent and 'only' 6,5%

I went to a beer fest in Asheville NC a few months ago. Asheville is rapidly becoming the epicenter of good brewing in south eastern US. The best I had was from a little microbrewery/pub called Wicked Weed. http://www.wickedweedbrewing.com/ Their Freak double IPA was astounding. 8% alcohol by volume.
I don't care for the Belgium style beers, too fruity. I'm a hop head. But there were lots of Belgium styles ales to sample.

how about "snags" and "buns" ? (ok, "snags" maybe too Oz, maybe sausage, or hot dog)
