They need to administer one last test - if you're dressed in anything less than a shirt and tie for the ceremony you shouldn't be allowed Citizenship.
Congratulations! Are you going to change your username?

We are already at a new low in my humble opinion.

I am so torn over whether to do it or not.
I can't actually afford it at the moment, which takes the pressure off making a decision.

The idea of possibly leaving here soon afterweards and forever having to give tax details to these buggers just makes me mad.

But, the idea that maybe one day wanting to come back just on holiday and having problems at the border pisses me off too.



As for the jury duty....I LOVED doing it in England. Except for the fact that I had just turned 18 and some jury members thought they could bully me.

Hello Mr Seahorse.

I think Obama is a decent guy but even though he is POTUS he doesn't have the power to turn things around.

I absolutely detest Hillary Clinton but I have to admit I detest Sarah Palin more.

Bull, I'm with Sally on this one. If that's your idea of 'butch', you two, you don't get out much.

She's totally appropriate for her world. She wears skirts most of the time, ffs, lipstick, jewelry... And look at that long hair she's sporting now.
Not to mention, what does that have to do with *any*thing serious?

Hilary looks like a real person, not a weird plastic alien with a 'bumpit' in her hair, she is also intelligent. Guess that makes her a dyke
