ccowden 0 #9 February 20, 2005 I think we speak American. Have you heard "true" English? Can't understand a bloody thing they are saying! It is all rubbish! They make Ebonics sound like a clear, well educated dialect. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Foggy 0 #13 February 20, 2005 been over here since 93 and get the occasional bout of homesickness. Found one cure is to cook a chicken curry while imbibing a Boddies and watching either Blackadder or an early Red Dwarf. My new job requires me to relocate to Indianapolis so not sure what to do if I get homesick for Ohio Foggy Don't pull low (unless you are!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skysquiffy 0 #16 February 20, 2005 sometimes it just drives me nuts. People ask "so what's the dfference between here and England?" Well everything, it's a different country. And don't get me started on American men. Don't get me wrong, this is a great place to live in so many ways, but sometimes I just wish I were immersed back in my home. Shit, I'd just settle for a few English friends here. I dunno, just having a moment I suppose. Although it's into day 2 now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bob.dino 1 #23 February 21, 2005 Surely it can't be the beer? Nah, London is cool. I'd four very fun years there, but my liver is pretty glad I'm elsewhere now . How long have you been away? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, I'm more a vodka and juice drinker. I've been here on and off for about 15 years now. I go back a lot, but it's not enough. Obviously.
