This is excellent.

Was anybody else also hoping for a Victorian HN Front Page with list of parody HN links which one might've expected to see in the 1880s or something?

- New Developments Greatly Increase Steam Engine Efficiency

- Show VHN: I have developed plans for a machine that will travel through time

- Nikola Tesla on Direct Current

- Ask VHN: Is the Trans-Atlantic telegraph cable down?

Any other ideas?

As a person from Victoria, Australia, I can confirm this is exactly how we all speak.

I can confirm: this is why I left.

As sense prevailed you must have come north and joined us in our brash Emerald City. ;-)

Along similar lines: If PHP Were British: https://aloneonahill.com/blog/if-php-were-british/ Reddit Proper: https://www.reddit.com/r/proper/

From the first link:

would_you_mind {

    // Code here
} actually_i_do_mind (Exception £e) {

    // Politely move on

    cheerio('Message');
}

I've laughed my ass off with that. Thanks for sharing!

I'd expect track gauges might be something VHNers could disagree over.

This is fabulous. >If you have the temerity to submit a video or pdf, I should be grateful if you would mark it as such, so as not to cause the undoing of my fragile sensibilities. The temerity , the absolute temerity of assaulting my fragile sensibilities with a pdf or video! I will not countenance it. I say good day to you, sir.

> I will not countenance it. I say good day to you, sir.

I have read that with the voice of an angry John Oliver. Matches brilliantly.

Ask VHN: I have been locked in the pillory for two days and can't reach anyone.
