You realize that you truly became a cosmopolitan individual when you sit in your house in London, and your lunch consists of gazpacho accompanied by garlic naan and then spaghetti ai pollo con funghi. With a glass of chardonnay.
Just saying.
Food for thought (quite literally)

Or when you realize September 19th is International Talk Like a Pirate day and you have to explain it to Brits but they love it and spend the day in the office trying to out do each other:-)
What happened to good old burger and fries?
Kostyan, if I had that I’d call myself American. See the difference? Doh!!
Cheryl, I actually have no idea what a “Talk Like a Pirate” day is (and I spent mine working remotely, so I could not observe my co-workers). I’d think that for a historic seafaring power, who I think even employed a famous pirate – Francis Drake? – as an admiral at some point, Brits would be predisposed to pretend to be pirates…
Just do a quick Google search for September 19th and it will give you all the info. It made the day go faster and being Friday, a little more fun. I was also told by the Brits I work with that every Friday is POETS Day which is supposed to stand for “piss off everyone, tomorrow is Saturday”. Can’t say I’d heard that one in the states before.
Can’t say that I heard that one in Britain either. Hmm!
