I’m from New Zealand and been in the UK almost 15 years. Took me probably 7 year to realise that “do you ski?” is just another way of asking “are you poor?”

[@tims7639]

It’s nearly that. It’s more like “are you one of us”? i.e. you have dinner at 7.30 or 8pm not “tea” at 6pm. You prefer rugby to football. You might be a member of a golf club. You go to upper end restaurants. That sort of business. So sort of what you said.

[@EvelynBaron]

@@tims7639 Well I did live in the UK for a few years and frankly Canada not much better except we apologize to furniture when we bump into something ... I met my share of Hurrah Henries then spent some time in France and all of a sudden Monty Python and the Holy Grail made a lot of sense ..... Arthur on a Quest etc. little French guy over the parapet 'your mother was a hampster and your father smelled of elderberries .... and we already got one still cracks me up.

I always thought that, too. Good to know it's a common sentiment.

Dylan Moran. So glad to see him, hear him. It's been several years. Love to see the changes those years have brought him. Oh, yes, I laughed.

[@antoinebunel]

Legendary ! No one flows like him, total genius !

[@Pixel1962]

I saw him live, a few years ago. A 90 minute show, but it went by like it was 25 minutes. I’ve never had an experience like it…

[@TrueFilter]

Is he still a complete mess now

[@PKSullivan]

His bit about Jason Statham films is so on point. For years my wife and I were in a cold war of trying to sneakily watch more Jason Statham nonsense than the other.

[@alisondark8183]

Dylan, you crazy genius, you! Never a dull line with you ❤ For anyone unfamiliar with Dylan's earlier work, I highly recommend seeking out 'Black Books' which also stars the amazing Tamsin Grieg and Bill Bailey. Pure joy right there.

[@PossumMedic]

🤘amazing show!

[@sarac.3259]

Black Books is one of my favourite sitcoms ever - totally bananas but it doesn't seem bananas somehow - you are just drawn in. Dylan Moran is a genius.

Brilliant and funny af . BTW Irish Class System is a devious thing . I thought it didn’t exist till I went off to Law School early 80s and found out that massive numbers of my classmates had all been to a mere handful of schools in south Dublin .

[@grandmabea6471]

And half of them were Prods, yeah?

[@DonnachaDeLong]

It's an elusive thing. Tracing my family tree, I found two branches of people who became the late 19th Century wealthy middle classes. But it wasn't permanent, the Irish class system is much more fluid - everyone can collapse down into working class at any moment!

[@Elle-elle-elle]

This finally explained jason statham's appeal to me. Grateful to everyone who made this possible.

[@AndriyValdensius-wi8gw]

Wonderful whimsical surreal flight of fancy. The thing about not knowing who what or why he is but speaking sixteen languages and finding codes in cactus plants while being a secret pastry chef sounds like the Bourne movie franchise.

[@bazzaoffreshwater]

Drove for 6 hours to see Dylan in Sydney and paid a lot of money for tickets He was completely pissed on stage and a complete shambles Such a shame because he is brilliant on the right day. I would only pay to see him again if he gives up drinking.

[@cowantom]

I had a similar couple of experiences with him. First time I saw him he was the funniest person I had ever seen - absolutely amazing - so I pestered my brother to come see him in Edinburgh with me (despite the distance for him) and unfortunately Dylan was in one of his 'off' days. Pissed and distracted. His flow was off and he kept stopping to reset himself and was very slurry. Fair to say my brother never listened to my recommendations again

I noticed Dylon's hand kept shaking. I doubt he was nervous. I hope it's some sort of drug withdrawal symptom and not a health problem.

[@stickybearskinrug2046]

Probably tremors from alcohol. I noticed too and it’s really sad no matter what it’s from.

[@ChartreuseDan]

He did used to have an alcohol problem but I'm starting to think he was less chasing off withdrawal spiders when he picked up the glass in the first place as he was self-medicating for anxiety. Some people are extremely capable of public speaking but their adrenal gland never gets the memo. I used to have that problem public speaking so I'm just saying it's a possibility

[@MmCelliste]

His mic hand has done that for years and years. I think it's more a nervous tic.

[@lauralake7430]

Its not really our business. When he wants us to know why he will tell us a joke about it.

[@answers4atheists]

Probably my favorite comedian. Close seconds Izzard and Sam Morril.

[@dittilio]

God I hope Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor are watching this. Jason Staham catching snakes in a dessert, to solve a puzzle that his amnesiac former self set up for him, but if his heart and taint are wired to a child's RC drone controller. And if Jason doesn't solve the problem in time he swallows his eyes throws up his liver. But to win the day he pulls his own eye out, and finds the last clue tattooed to the back of his head. Inexplicably something about this has seduced the poor woman contractually obliged to act as the protagonist, and she falls in love with him, only to find out she also has amnesia and was the one who set up the puzzle torture thing. Jason doesn't care, he rips out his own liver, defuses it, and staples it back inside. And that's the end of Act 1.

Ireland is much closer to America when it comes to class. There is old money and new money but everyone just gets on with it and getting ahead is the name of the game. I have Oxbridge educated older relatives in the UK. They are lovely people but people like plumbers and brickies are alien species to them. It's so weird.
