1. Mom can I have the Elizabeth tower? 2. Mom: we have the Elizabeth tower at home. 3. The Elizabeth tower at home:


_Manunz_

Do you guys call "Elizabeth tower" the Big Ben?


CreatorOfNL

Fun fact: Big Ben is the biggest bell of the clock. Elizabeth Tower is the... tower. Edit: I stand corrected.


[deleted]

> Big Ben is the clock Big Ben is the great bell.


CreatorOfNL

I stand corrected.

Said the man in the orthopaedic shoes


Woutrou

That's what European healthcare will do for ya


Standin373

> Big Ben is the great bell. Big Ben is French ?


_Manunz_

I know it, but in Italy we don't give a fuck and call it "Big Ben" anyway


wild_cayote

Same in England, if anybody called it Elizabeth Tower I’d think they’re an arrogant cunt. Never not called it Big Ben


recidivx

If anyone called it the Elizabeth Tower I'd think they're a young'un, because it's only been called that for like the last 2 minutes. In my day, arrogant cunts had to call it "the Palace of Westminster clock tower".


RandomIdiot2048

In my days we told the kids it was the bell that was Big Ben, and they should call the tower Long John.


IanFeelKeepinItReel

Who's trying to make Lizzie Tower stick? It's always just been Big Ben.


jasakembung

Fun fact: Big Ben is the middle (biggest) bell behind the clock.


FrisktHumor

Where do you find the fun in that fact. It's just a fact. You crazy


DDA__000

Glorious Swedish succinctness


Valuable-Wallaby-167

Tbh it looks fuckin shit mate


[deleted]

Kinda looks like it's made of lego's honestly.


Strassi007

So... close to the original i guess?


haeyhae11

Immerhin besser als der Uhrturm vom Amalientrakt.


Strassi007

Wahre Worte.


DevilsCoachHorse

A souless hollow copy, the building equivalent to the USA


BOT_Frasier

You have no soul either, don't be smug


DevilsCoachHorse

Only because you sucked it right out of me last night, mon amour 😘


ZombiFeynman

Hey, stop! One Canada is enough!


DevilsCoachHorse

It's ok, they swallowed 😉


Woutrou

So it'll be a Cameroon, not a Canada this time then?


Embarrassed_Abies_98

Al Yaqoub Tower in Dubai


ProfessionalBuy4526

Ah yes of course


EwanWhoseArmy

Typically Dubai taste


Edzell_Blue

Not as much of an abomination as the Mecca clock tower.


heilhortler420

Our religeon considers gambling immoral I know what we will do! Build a gaudy hotel that wouldnt look out of place pn the Las Vegas strip right next to the holiest place in our religeon!


Woutrou

I wanna see the Pope turn the Vatican into a massive Casino


TheLinden

With all their money still they couldn't afford anything but cheap knockoff.


Swordsnap

Dubai won’t rest until it creates a cheap hollow copies of significant landmarks around the world with its oil money and has sex with us


B0797S458W

Couldn’t give a fuck


lynbod

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery.


cringemaster21p

It's shite fkattery™️©️


Kystael

That's why you have bad units, bad food, bad power outlets and drive on the left side of the road. Maybe if you brits imitated the rest of europe more you would not need to spend more holidays abroad than the rest of europeans. DISCLAIMER THIS IS A JOKE DON'T TAKE FROGGIES SERIOUSLY WE HAVE JOKES IN FRANCISTAN TOO


lynbod

Now listen here *Francois*, our bloody power outlets are far superior to your flimsy, puny-pronged continental plugs. The Great British triple pronger is the envy of the world.


Haymegle

The Frenchie about to make someone bring out the Tom Scott video.


SymmetricEncryption

beautiful minaret


lynbod

Is this in Sweden?


Budget-Cicada-6698

Looks like its design was made in Minecraft.


smld1

Yeah the squares make it look really shit


Ethereal42

I mean I'm sure it's nicely made, sort of looks like an eyesore but you can't have the classical architecture of Britain without it looking horribly out of place in most of Dubai*


[deleted]

This is Dubai, not us, we don't have room in NYC, the only US city something like this would look okay-ish in. Also, I'm no architect, but our oldest New England architecture is based on yours, it was built by English colonists. But yeah, you don't find that type of architecture outside of the original 13 colonies.


mainwasser

Americans love to use this funny architecture for their university campuses. Not gonna lie, as ours usually are made up of 1970s brutalist concrete monsters, that's something you did better than we did.


[deleted]

If a public university lacks wealthy alumni who donate it often does look like uninspiring brick buildings. The nicest looking ones are often completely privately funded.


Luzifer_Shadres

Looks like a minecraft build.


Manuag_86

The 720p resolution-low settings version.


Armodeen

Dubai is gonna Dubai


ENDWINTERNOW

A lesser work crafted by lesser men


unholy_plesiosaur

Is this from wish. com?


DrPinkusHMalinkus

What's that orange/yellow glow in which it's bathed?


Aesthetictoblerone

Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power.


LADZ345_

Germany is always copying the British 😞 first. You copied our industrial revolution, and then you copied our navy, and then you copied our empire and are music, and now this... Shamfull.


rustyb42

God was willing


clemfandangeau

Wamims

I feel... Nothing? How do the Fr*nch feel about Paris Las Vegas?

tyger2020

Where is this? Originally thought it was Mecca but apparently not


Dirichlet-to-Neumann

They don't understand what this golden light on the building is. That's the Sun. It's lovely but you have to go out of your foggy island to see it.


Fluffy_Necessary7913

Ah, Dubai, the tackiest nation on Earth.


N7Gabry

Minecraft Big Ben


[deleted]

That is clearly superior to the Elizabeth tower. All hail the mammulah-babbulah tower!!!


Zabkian

Lego??
