Yes.

He's weird like that.  :o :nuts: :loco:  :yikes: :stirpot:
He's in VA but he's lived this side of the pond too, so I think we infected him.  8)

In a very nice way of course.  Not only lived there but was born there.

I only ask to understand "how funny he might feel at any given time". British people are funny in a different way.  :banana

That picture was taken 20 years ago. 


As for myself, American father, English mother, born in Swindon at a USAF hospital that was there at the time.  Heading to England next year, hopefully.  It's been over 50 years since I set foot on English soil and smelled English air and ate English food.  It will be a very emotional time for me.


Had a lot of issues getting a US passport.  Lost my Certificate of Citizenship and all the important documents I have are copies.  The postmaster rolled her eyes when I was applying for it and basically said 'Good Luck'.  And through some good luck and a good friend I finally got it issued.  With that I also got my real id for my driver's licence as well.


As far as humour goes, I totally understand the British version and quite prefer that actually.  It can be very quick and hard to miss if you aren't listening well.
