I see you decided to take up my offer then:

Enjoy the rain and shite exchange rate
But you have to eat it to the strains of "Oh my GOD...this Curry is like..totally awesome....I never knew Indians made curry I thought they just made like..moccasins and stuff" and various other dozy US teenage female ramblings.

Do leave off, the Bacon in the US sucks...all streaky crap that grills up to the size of a shoelace and definately less flavour than a good slice of back bacon. You're assimilating mate.
