Re: Dry sense of humour?
Sorry, must be the sight of the Detroit logo in the sig line, lost myself for a moment.
In any case, shouldn't you be back with the lager louts, supporting (the now US-owned) Man United and pissing off the Spanish during your summer holidays? Those David Beckham haircuts don't really work well over here, I'd think that some of the Red Wings fans might prefer a good mullet.

Re: Dry sense of humour?
Rush, not surprising, but you're already a few yards behind. For one, you might notice that it is generally the English, and not Americans, who tell others to "piss off." (Sad to see that irony didn't make it into your family gene pool.)
On a serious note, if you don't like a place, you should stop pissing and moaning about it, and look to relocate as soon as possible. If I lived in Newark, Gary or Milton Keynes, I'd be the first one looking for the first moving van out of town.

you don't feel that you have an option to try and change something if you don't like it?

Re: Dry sense of humour?
Manc, do you seriously think that you are going to change the predominant culture of humor for 280 million people? You could change your job and address more easily than do that. It's best to accept a place for its benefits and faults, and try to enjoy it as best you can, rather than seethe about it while being nostalgic for a place about which you'd probably complain about if you lived there, anyway.
In any case, I'm not exactly enthralled with the lack of sarcasm myself, I often have to mind what I say lest people take me too seriously. (As ironically, some have here, have to say that I'm really disappointed in some of you...)

" that you "claim" to hold so dear? Or is that only an American right? As a foreigner to your land am I barred from airing my opinions on a BRITISH expats website then. Are you really that insecure in your national identity that you have to tell everyone that has the slightest criticism of Uncle Sam to piss off, instead of listening objectively and making taking a bit of constructive criticism. Or is the United States Of American a perfect model of an ideal society?
