........which is probably why its not easy to make friends when you have to repeat the same stuff for the nth time and its still the first time someone else has ever heard about the UK and its a novelty for them......can't blame them........ but more than once, I've thought of carrying 3x5 cards with it all written down on.......

Then again, its fun to mess with people as well.........

Yes, the Police have guns.......they keep them under their funny hats
Yes, everyone eats muffins at 2pm with the Queen and her corgis
No, we actually drive on the right
No, the Queen is actually elected
Yes, Cricket is actually just like Baseball
Soccer is a game played by one-legged dwarves called Cyril and only on Wednesdays........etc,etc.....

Ho hum.......time to mow the lawn.

This has nothing to do with the topic of "Friends"......just felt it appropriate to mention it.

Now.......with one or two of them around here.......think it'd be difficult to strike up a friendship? It'd be impossible to avoid one.......
