These are pretty calm messages to an Australian and Garry is British, so culture checks out.

// What the fuck
// Fuck dynamic compiling.
// what the fuck is this shit
// What the fuck, why isnt this a method

Should this by the by commentary be there?
Not really.
But as a programmer, I understand each and every time I see something like:

// Urgh this is so dirty, Invalidate() and Refresh() do nothing.
tButt.AutoSize = false;
tButt.Width = maxWidth;
tButt.Height = maxHeight;
tButt.AutoSize = true;

  // this is bollocks, delete it

That's almost certainly from a Brit.

  // this looks like I'm being a fancy arsehole, but this is all because  
  // the window shows up white for some reason when first opened, and this  
  // disguises it.

Could be either.
