both myself and my OH are british so whenever we're arounds yanks we just act like we normally do..trading insults and I must admit the look on some of their faces is comical, they think we're having a domestic and that we are having problems in our marriage

till my OH tells them oh no don't worry, this is foreplay!

yep they run away pretty damn quick after that...

I just got home from work, what poll? Nevermind, I'll find it.

SOAFB, you'd think I would know better about posting pics of myself by now. I'm just too damn pretty.

And for those that would rather not be here but stay anyway, the way I look at it, if they stay in a place they hate they either have a good reason or they don't hate it as much as they profess. Whatever the reason, it's none of my business and I'm not going to get all ate up about it. Focus on your positive experience, let others dwell on the negative if they want, thank god you're not in a place you hate.

It's not easy all the time, espescially with some of the comments that are truly insulting, but it's a hell of a lot better than being pissed off constantly!
Most Brits come on here to let of a bit of steam, share the banter and wit. My hat goes off to you and many of the Americans on here...you join in and become one of us. It's mostly 'adopted' USC's who give us a hard time.
