Cheers Alex! Hope you get pissed this weekend (Brit slang for you Yankees 
)!
Funny, talking to you, I didn't notice any English accent. We have an office in Pool, England and man do those guys love their cars and motorcycles!

see I feel right at home now
Sad to say my drinking prowess would not stand up too well against the traditional English-boozers!I've been here since 1998 and over the course of that time and being married to an LA-woman my accent has been nuetered. My mum gives me grief about it everytime she comes to visit....
PS I should be a US Citizen by this time next year

I actually just picked up my parents @ LAX last night as they came to celebrate with myself and our family out here. Also i lol'd at your comment about your mom givingyou grief over your accent - 90% of the arguments i have with my mom is when she informs me that i am speaking like an American and need to keep my accent and identity! I only get pissed because i know she's correct!
I too would like to wish all a happy Thanksgiving to all on the board,
Joshua.

The Aussies aren't all bad.. they're just better at sports than us...I was born/raised in the Lancaster Gate area (right near Hyde Park) and went to Westminster School and then the LSE>

Seriously, the same to you and be careful out there guys. The way people have been driving (even today) is erratic to say the least!
