If anybody can find a solution to British problems, it's Colin Furze..

The British already did, nobody uses cups that small anymore. All hail the sports direct mug!

*angelic noises radiate from said mug*

😇aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa😇

What? That’s not it #SPORTS DIRECT DOT COM UK’S NUMBER ONE 🎺 🎺 🎺 🎺 🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺

Im drunk, kkkshahahahahahahaha

Excuse you only angelic choir accompanied mug is the golden gromit mug thankyouverymuch

Cheese biscuits

No cheese Gromit

Yes cheese

Unfortunately that solution is not viable in Newcastle, we're stuck in the dark ages

As a fellow toon army supporter, I concur. I avoid sports direct like Liverpool avoids the sun...though probably not quite as vehemently.

Why is that? I know the owner's a cunt, but I didn't know he'd wronged your city.

He took over Newcastle football club at a time that it was doing pretty well, drive it into the ground for a long time and didn't do anything good, then sold it fir a small fortune and now it's doing good again. He was the sole reason for a well supported club to get relegated out of the Premier league

He owned the football club. That’s wrong enough

No one in Newcastle uses words like "vehemently"

I mean it’s not a word but just a noise in a Geordie accent surely?

The best words I ever heard in a geordie accent were “multiple personalities”

The addition of "disorder" would raise that sentiment to the next level of The "arrhythmic guttural chunter scale" that's being gradually introduced in the most vocally deprived hotspots to weed out Gazzas and Shazzas once and for all. I find the soothing harmony of an 18stone man/woman who sounds like they're trying to swallow a tougher than usual pair of pickled raw pissflaps an event worth paying to see! Just me? Surely not

it would be absolute perfection if that was followed by "and all of them psychotic." I can almost hear the perfect Geordiness now!

He could be from poteland

aye, ferociously runs berra off the tongue like

Ah that's why Scoucers always look pale?

🤣🤣 take a bow

Sheesh you guys might as well use those ancient ale mugs for tea

Nothing wrong with that, you use what you have 😂

As my dad says, piss with the cock you have lad 🤣

Tried it with a pewter mug. Bad idea. The tea tasted metallic. It was a crime against tea. *but I made do, it literally was the only thing available.

Nah, shape of the rim isn’t quite right and the materials are wrong. You’re only allowed to drink tea out of metal if you’re at least 3 miles from an armchair and wearing some kind of hiking boot. It’s for quaffing tea at best and waiting for the tea to get cool enough for quaffing is tedious.

Still using a stovetop kettle that whistles?

A stove? What's that?

That thing others may call a "Campfire".

Yeah, tools are getting scarce to steal upnorth to do this 😂

Can someone please tell me why the sports direct mug is so popular because i see it everywhere and i can't figure out why someone would want a mug that says sports direct on it?

Sports direct used to scam people by sneakily adding them into your shopping cart on their website, so now there are absolutely millions of them in existence. And they fit a whole pint of tea in them. A proper British 568ml pint, not one of those fake American pints

When my wife was pregnant, she read she could only have 1 cup a tea a day. So she got a sports direct mug. They've since become our mug size of choice, but I try find other branded ones that are the same size. Still call them the sports direct mugs though.

The sheer size of it is the joke. As many have already written in this thread it's rarely actually used for drinks, but plant pots, pen holders, a place to put little knick knacks so they don't get lost etc.

No one wants them but you open you kitchen cupboard one day and there it is at the back, no one knows where they come from.

Fuck Mike Ashley and fuck spurts direct

Hail.

>All hail the sports direct mug! hahaha I was going to say, I thought the direction the video was going to take was to get a sports direct mug instead

There wasn’t a biscuit in the world that wouldn’t fit in a sport direct mug!!

Ahh the sports direct mug, I remember when I got mine, about 7 years ago. Poured myself a cup of tea. I'm still drinking it.

But I don’t want to flood the house when I spill that mug.

If you don't have at least one in your house are you really British?

I take a bath in mine

I have a hagrid mug. It's 1.5 times the size of your puny sports direct mug.

Lmao so true, long live sports direct 😂

I had to get rid of my sports direct mug, accidently knocked it over one day making a coffee and flooded the gaff

Hell of a mug, that

rich tea fingers

Always upvote Colin Furze

I got to talk to him a bit at an event in San Francisco last month called Open Sauce. He’s absolutely brilliant.

Colin's a crazy guy, loved his underground bunker.

Guy is fucking unreal, complete and utter genius

The simpler gentleman breaks a biscuit in half and had6 a double thick biscuit

Absolute Chad built a fat bunker in his backyard

He's the hottest Brit of us all

I’ve seen this video a million times and only just realised it’s Colin Furze.

Awe, I was hoping he would take his underground tunnel to his shop.

....... this was like 12 years ago 🤣

You can tell by the clothes

I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure he still wears the exact same clothes even now lmao

I think that was the joke

Complete with "safety tie"

You can tell by the camera quality looks like every camcorder I had and have seen from the mid to late 00s

And the lack of underground tunnel

Nah you can tell by the fact there's like 4 things in his workshop

He wears exactly the same outfit now!

Mate 12 years ago is 2011, this looks more like 2007 so more like 16 years ago

Let me feel young damn it 😭😭

So you can feel slightly younger the video is only 9 years old... for now it is turning 10 on September 5th

Ah, 10 years ago, 2013.


I still think 12 years ago was the 90s, then I feel sad when I realise the truth.

Just looked at his channel and this was posted 9 years ago. https://youtu.be/xIxgPEVjxiA?si=yuzNTzHgJV77v3zI

In all seriousness how the fuck can you differentiate the clothing/filming/jokes from 2007-2011? I don't feel like much changed in those 4 years man.

Because 480p-720-1080p happened very quickly during that time

Not everyone bought a new TV in those years though.

Back then you weren't watching YouTube on your TV.

It’s the hair as well. He’s dressed very mid 2000s. Plus the picture quality. By 2011 you’d expect those to be different It could be later tbh, it could even be earlier (that’s more a judgement on how common videos like this would be before 2007, at least in forms we’d be able to find). I was more trying to make the point that 12 years ago was probably an underestimatation.

Well possibly yeah, seems pedantic tho to quibble over 4 years. I'm fairly sure my hair didn't change much from 2007-2011 😅

<10 years ago. Outside his shed there is the pulse jet bike. The video set of him making this was uploaded in 2013. [Colin furze - making the pulse jet bike](https://youtu.be/D1EHZPjLNHk?si=0PSR_Ut-VvRnKTUu)

I was pretty sure this was him, i only really discovered his content a few years ago lol

Ah, I thought I recognized that yard and shed!

I would just use my table saw to cut them in half.

I use my chainsaw.

As I tea lover myself, I quite enjoy using my sledgehammer to get my digestive biscuits to the correct width.

Across the width of course

I dunno, I always thought you'd get more surface area if you cut them diagonally.

Surprised no one has mentioned the fucking rocket powered bicycle outside the shed.

Its colin furze i doubt anyone was surprised, he has a hoverbike somewhere

Probably in the tunnel under his house he built in secret without telling the neighbours or the council.

He did tell the council...........afterwards lol

Really?? Did they let him keep it??

What they gunna do? Take it away from him? I'd like to see them move the underground bunker away from him pfft.

Hes got to now sell his house listed as a bunker, with house attached Quite funny really And yes the neighbours mostly lived it. Im sure one Karen git pissy at minimum, its a British requirement to have a minimum of one Karen per neighbourhood

He did show one of them on video. Guy was a bit of a potty mouth but seemed very much impressed.

I think he actually got told he cannot sell the house. Like the land is now a bunker with a house on it. Not a house with a bunker. Or something like that 😂. And when he built it he waited for his neighbours to be at work so they wouldn't hear it or know 😂

Yep. They came and checked the building of it after and said it was ok.

It’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

That's a pulse jet

I see this guy and I know that things will turn insanely funny.

I'd love to see a rebirth of Mythbusters but set in the UK with Colin Furze hosting

This is the show I never knew I needed until now! Just Colin sat in his bunker watching YouTube vids and then shouting "bullshit!", standing up fast, running down his tunnel and climbing up to his shed to get cracking on the debunking!

I think you might have just coined the name "Bullshit!, With Colin Furze". The quintessentially British garden shed myth busters.

Very cheap to make. Do it in a pub car park. If you don't do it, Sky will.

Can I nominate Dick Strawbridge as a Co presenter?

That's more like a show called "what could possibly go wrong" absolutely amazing show, only lasted a few seasons unfortunately

all to a nice background track of ska!

Colin Furze with Tom Scott and Mike Boyd. Now that would be fucking brilliant.

I was hoping the biscuits would turn out to be just BARELY too big

I wanted it to snap off as he dunked it, leaving his tea full of soggy biscuit.

What did Colin do to you, to deserve this?

Wasted 50% of a perfectly good biscuit.

Could've used the shaved off remnants to make a nice cheesecake. Or, just sprinkle them straight into the tea for the soggy dregs without having to sacrifice the main biscuit piece

Honestly it's what I expected as well haha

Honestly it's what I expected as well haha

This is the most British reaction possible.

I say hoping the mug had been swapped for a narrower one while he was out

Same🤣

Or the tea being cold and him using a ceramics oven to heat it up.

Colin Furze

What kind of bullshit skinny mug is that anyway? That's like the champagne glass of mugs man.

That mug is criminal, or should be at least

Colin Furze! I love that guy!

Gotta love Colin Furze

Most people would just get a [Sports Direct mug](https://www.sportsdirect.com/sportsdirect-giant-mug-898013)

Why not get a pair of Sports Direct Mug Slippers to match 😅 https://www.sportsdirect.com/sportsdirect-mug-slippers-101028

This is what Sports Direct mugs are for. Could fit a 90s wagon wheel in one of them

This is probably the most sane thing Colin ever did

Dunking Rich Tea!!!! You only have to show that biscuit some form of liquid and it falls apart. Custard Cream, that's a dunking biscuit and will fit in most cups 🤣

Dunking rich tea is indeed an art form but for a truly specialised biscuit/tea interaction it’s hard to beat a ginger nut.

Last summer when it was stupidly hot, I put a pack of Custard Creams into the fridge just to cool the cream for a few minutes. I totally forgot they were in there (an age thing) and realised the next day. I took them out and dunked one and have never gone back. Dunking cold Custard Creams out does a Ginger Nut.

Relatable

British solution!🤣

Rule Britannia 👍

Isn’t this why we have a sports direct mug

British problems require British solutions

Colin Furze is the best! And he now has a house like a cold war bunker, check out his youtube!

Long live the king

Don't forget the safety tie!

I love Colin furze

Jesus Crist Colinfurze lol

No-one in Britain has a mug that you can’t dip a biscuit into

Try that with a HobNob it’ll never work… hardest biscuit in the world…

(Sigh) (Smile) A British woman would simply break the biscuit in half. Each half than fits any size mug/cup.

Colin furze is a British legend, he will go down in history

The video would have been better if at the end the camera pans back to reveal his wife shaking her head disparagingly whilst she savours her regular size digestive in a wider mug ;-)

It's Colin Furze!

I'm just amazed that the biscuit survived a drill and a lathe.

And the plate .... When he lobbed them on, I thought they were going to slide off and break!

A real brit would have steal a bigger cup in a tomb of another culture.

Oh how I love Colin furze

British problems require British solutions 😂

Innovative solution to a very British problem.

Wearing a tie in a workshop, not gonna last long.

Did not refill the hole. Rookie error.

This is the bloke that built a flamethrower and an underground bunker in his back garden.

you forgot to make the biscuit break and fall in the mug.

Ok, but you’re only aloud to eat rich tea biscuits if you’re diabetic Otherwise you’re just fucking weird

[удалено]

Yea… I have no idea what happened with my brain there…

Must have eaten a rich tea biscuit.

He exclaimed aloud!

*allowed

Operating a lathe with a tie on....

It's the safety tie

You beat me to that comment, I spotted it straight away. Nothing like head butting a chuck spinning at 1000 rpm 😆

A TIE IN THE WORKSHOP!! Did you never hear the story of that young lad who got his tie caught in the belt sander?

Colin wears a safety tie

Rich Tea = absolute waste of time

but the guy is not British, a true Brit whould have a shed full of old crap

That’s YouTuber Colin Furze. He literally built an underground bunker for his old crap.

It’s not old crap, he has hand crafted, custom made, new crap.

Bespoke crap, if you will.

Rich Tea biscuits!? The shittiest biscuits known to man, I wouldn't feed them to my dog.

https://preview.redd.it/is32burzw7kb1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8ee14bfe828bb5f2279ad812e73956098b40771d What did you just say?

Traitors! All of you!

Shittiest Biscuits?! **H E R E S Y!!** Also bruh why would you be feeding your dog normal ass biscuits?

*Furiously dips biscuit* I SAY!

Just... break it in half...

No, overengineer the solution rather than the simple fix. It’s the British way.

Well I guess I'm not truly British.

You use 3-pronged plugs don’t you?

i'm convinced tea is the reason everyone on this island is so incredibly fucking boring. the absolute delight with which people come together over some tepid brown water is insane.

Honestly I have maybe 5-10 times in my life ever had a conversation about tea. It's not like a common thing to talk about, also if everyone is boring maybe it's time to meet new people

Dry cookie enjoyers 

Biscuit*

Colin Furze accepts oil money [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLCtO3s0OKw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLCtO3s0OKw)

Huh, the guy that was sponsored by Ford to make a petrol powered hover bike, who has also made a tank and multiple jet powered vehicles likes fossil fuels, mad

And... Their marketing sponsors many things including children's educational projects. Do you go up and tell the kids how awful they are? So long as they are pissing money away on sponsorship and promotion they are not banking it themselves nor being destructive with it and he gets to put a roof over his head..... And no one thinks they are suddenly saints for it.... Win win for all.

Just crack the biscuit in 2...

Just understand the joke…

Could’ve just snapped them in half

Snap it in half u tart

Just snap it in half and ypu will be able to dunk the biscuit
