but I had a fun year in New York. I did enjoy watching all the angry people.
Heh - try working in the NYC office of a British company. My professional emails to local co-workers vs emails to the UK office may as well be in different languages. (I mean, even putting aside sentences like "Was this programme shot in colour?")
But I don't "like" the Queen. Can I "acknowledge Queen's presence on Facebook while maintaining my ongoing commitment to socialist anti-monarchist principles"?
I think you have to install an application for that.
Just like they need a "fuck off" response to friend requests (yeah, I have a long-time grudge I'm not willing to let go of) they should allow you to dislike stuff.
Then maybe I'd use FB more.
Okay, no I wouldn't.
I think you have to install an application for that.
"I'm not a monarchist."
"Don't worry. There's an app for that."
Windsparrow, thanks for your support.
He was worried about the cold? That's kind of nuts.
Crazy! Really dogs, aside from a couple of delicate breeds (like some whippets), do not need coats! And certainly not in 50 degree weather!
I was trying to be British in my response, as you all tend to be nicer than we are here :)
From an email joke I just got, from the one person who still sends around email jokes:
"The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats, and have therefore raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940, when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to "A Bloody Nuisance". The last time the British issued a "Bloody nuisance" warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada."
You jest, but it's almost true. My bosses thought I was a bit silly for missing work on 7/7. The tube station down the road from me had been blown up, but I was apparently meant to be finding British blitz spirit and walking the twelve miles to the office.
