Bio:

I'm a neurotic, eccentric, and just plain weird Englishman transplanted to Slidell Louisiana, or what's left of it (thnx Hurricane Katrina) I have 2 nationalities, my original (England) and my adopted (America) as of July 2005. I love comedy and am writing my own Stand-Up act as well as an animated TV show(not like it'll get made but I can dream). I am majoring in Physics Secondary Education with a minor in Mathematics as I want to be a high school physics/math teacher. I plan on moving to the west coast after a few years of teaching here in louisiana, but who knows where I'll end up. I have been in this country for 9 years this April and have been asked a barrage of stupid questions(still to this day) about the differences between England and America, so here are a few answers incase you were wondering something:

1. Yes, we have television(BBC dumbasses)
2. No, we do not all live in castles
3. Yes, there are black people(of jamiacan or barbadan descent) in England, as well as asians and indians, well practically everyone
4. We do not drive on the wrong side of the road...just the left side
5. No, I am not in anyway shape or form related to the queen(although an ancestor of mine has killed a King)
6. Great Britain and England are NOT the same thing
7. Scotland and Wales are not states/parts of England, they are separate countries governed by the same gov't
8. Tea time is not a time in the afternoon when the entire country stops what it is doing to have a cup of Tea and crumpets
9. No I don't remember the Boston Tea Party, I wasn't there
10. Cricket is not weird baseball, cricket has existed much longer than baseball and is played internationally(especially in India/pakistan, the west Indies, South Africa, and down under)
11. A pound coin does not weigh 1 lb
12. We speak English, not French, English, get it? England - English? See The Connection? (most recent!!!)
