Oh Shit... we are in the presence of 'old money'. Better bow the knee and tug the forelock like 'proper' Brits....

Hang on a min.... I'm forgetting... this is the web.

On the web I'm the 14th Archduke of Uranus .... skilled at nailing blancmange to ceilings and plaiting fog as a hobby.

I'm atheist actually. Never picked a pocket either. You're not basing your views of Britain on Oliver Twist are you?

I'm British. Never picked a pocket (or two) and certainly don't do god. Does that mean you like me or that you can't get past the British bit?

I have been called many things... but a god-botherer was never one of them.

I don't think it would ever have crossed anybodies mind when thinking of insults to throw my way... or the way of 99% of Brits.

You cannot seriously believe that the UK is particularly relegious surely?

I see you know proper British protocol. No need to clingon to all that or chase around Uranus like a lunatic, your safe in the best little country in the world and you only need to bow to new money, if you want some.

Lets have a name then?


Actually forget it... you've had time to look it up on Google... and I'm bored anyway.

Here.. pick a name from this lot and tell us he's your Grandfather. We'll believe you.. honest.

Personally, I try not to bother God too often & have never picked any pockets.

So, am I in or out?

These things should be part of the visa process surely????

If you dislike the British, why are you posting on a website called British Expats?

I know the reason, although I am sure he will deny it.
