That's hilarious.

I've had thoughts of the same unfunny gag item buzzing around in my brain since I first saw this thread a few days ago. It has been fighting for brain space with Selena Gomez's song "Naturally". )

I'd never have heard of the Tashkent University of Information Technologies, were it not for Google.

Enjoy filling 2 income tax forms every year, possibly being dual-taxed, and having banks abroad not want you as a customer because then the NSA will want to be looking into them... if/when you decide to move back to the UK or elsewhere.

Oooh that too. Being forced to take time off work (in the US/Canada your employer usually counts jury duty against your vacation time, thereby screwing you over even MORE) thus not being paid (employers usually don't pay either whilst you're away)......


All banter aside, congrats

Those of us that grumble on about it will inevitably be called, and those of us who actually want to do it, won't.

I'll make a truly excellent juror.

A. Observe race of accused.
B. Nap through following trial.
C. Write down guilty/not guilty dependent upon A.
D. Go home.

Yes, truly excellent juror.
You forgot about updating your Facebook status throughout the trial and providing a realtime Twitter feed during the jury deliberations ...

It must have been "the American tour" that they took.

Rejected!
I haven't been rejected since... ah.. actually not that long if I include wifely 'you can stop that right now' rejections.

Apparently I dilly-dallied too long and they updated the N-400 form whilst I was scraping together pictures, money etc.
So I have to re-apply using the latest and greatest version of the N-400. With girded loins I try once more. (Might try that with the missus too.)
