Howdy!
 
Starting my trail to USA relocation now that my wife has her indefinate leave here in the UK. Just wanted to say hi, thanks for providing such an informative (and at times eye opening) site.

Cheers!

Hi Dan and welcome to BE. I take it your wife is a US Citizen? The getting married and living in the UK approach was one that we took whilst waiting for the greencard.

Hiya! Where are you planning to move to?

Glad to hear that you are now aware that Double Dipping is only allowed between the sheets ;)

Any further etiquette questions - shoot! :)

My wife is currently doing a HR/Business degree. She did an etiquete class and it even discussed the correct method for passing gas during a social event. If it is quietish, then a short cough followed by an excuse me works. If it sounds like a whoopie cushion then it everyone is supposed to ignore it.

Aye, my wife is a US citizen (our 2 year wedding aniversary today!). Planning on heading out to Los Angeles since we're both film/tv bods and the pitifully elitist media industry here is driving me at least around the bend!

"Cough followed by excuse me" ... nice. Beats the hell out of the whole "Better out than in" approach :)

Thanks!

Dan

I thought you were just supposed to blame on the nearest dog or pet and failing that the brussel sprouts......... :D
now I know I can let one rip and look others straight in the eye as I politely ignore it :cool:

Oh forgot to say welcome to OP :rolleyes: :)

Yeah instead of "Queen of the Night" it should be "Queen of the entendres" or is Queen of the Night itself an entendre? :confused: ;)
