Re: Slowly starting to Americanize my speech

If you haven't heard this theory before, you may need to go and take a nice quiet lie down afterwards.

Re: Funny license plate

Mine reads KIN EL

Re: Resume and Interview Tips? Anyone?

Its bloody typical of US hiring habits.
They put on a circus act and expect you to be in fits of enthusiasm, then sweet F.A!
