Re: Christmas Music in the US

Very true.

Also, there is never a traditional 'novelty' musical experience over here, such as Regis Philbin or Katie Couric releasing a cover version of "Jingle Bell Rock" while backed by Mr...

Re: Borat the movie

You'll get the odd new show, such as 'The Office' and 'Little Britain', for the most part, the schedule is 75% made up of 70s comedies and cheap DIY shows.

Re: Borat the movie

And don't forget infinite runs of Benny Hill, and Monty Python. Americans do know that British comedy has moved on since 1978, right??

Re: To the people who moan about the NHS

CR1/ I-751 90 days

Hey again y'all

Does anyone know how long after submitting the I-751 that you hear back about if you require an interview or not? Is it far off into the 90 days, past your 2nd anniversary or what?
