    I swear to God, some people talk to me on here like I'm American, and they're American.
    Now, I'm only too happy to return the favour and talk American back/so it's a page we all can understand, it's just, a couple of posts now it's still been to me; 'ours' 'and what our POTUS' is doing, and it's like.. I'm thinking 'I AIN'T AMERICAN!' 'you mean yours, your POTUS' etc... because this is after me dropping hints that I'm British, so I'd add UK for a solution when talking in American in a correspondence on here; and I'd still see 'our debt' 'they own us' etc... Having me make this thread.

    @Aleksander Ulyanov I ain't American.
    Everyone in that http://www.politicalforum.com/index.php?threads/time-to-punish-ccp.584079/
    thread, I ain't American.

    Now, I have 1 hint...
    That might be lost on people.
    ~But if you saw it (and knew), you'd know you're talking to a Brit with me.

    That building's a big deal to Londoners, much like the Space Needle is to Seattlites (I had to look up Seattlites, but it's my new favourite word now, Seattlites)...

    What nationalities are we on here?

    I catch a flight to London when I head home, that's how British I am.

    I mean, there are other UK airports I can fly into, but all that means is me travelling back to London anyway when I touch the ground since I live in London, am from London, so, that London flight's always the one for me (it's just direct, you land, you go home, simples - back in the UK).

    You may be British but no True Englishman would have ever worked on the Crystal Phallus.

    Am I any less of an Englishman for working on that building?
    For promoting a Lesbian bar as my first job in Soho?
    For taking temp work as a picker packing peckers at the Ann Summer's HQ & Warehouse across town?

    I wear my top hat just like the next Englishman.

    I'm Martian too. But I my parents were visiting Newfoundland when I was born. My parents were Martian spies who were stationed all over the US and in other countries. When they decided to return to Mars, I decided to stay and chose a US citizenship. I do still maintain a residence on Mars--just in case.

    London is a great place. But, like on Mars, the periodic lack of sunshine takes it's toll on my soul.

    I have relatives who came from Germany in the 1800s. A younger brother of mine lived in Germany for 12 years. His children were not happy when they came back the the US. The youngest child speaks flawless German.
