Being British

[Eric Mc]

Yesterday I was formally conferred with my British citizenship.

What steps do I need to take next.

I've already developed a fondness for Real Ales. Is that a good start?

Having just returned home after a month on the continent, it would appear you must now start throwing litter everywhere. It's not much, but it's a start

[Eric Mc]

Anything else?

I'm working on the whinging and moaning side of things already.

[hornetrider]

Didn't realise you were a Johnny Foreigner Eric

[Einion Yrth]

Can I have your old Irish citizenship, now you don't need it and everything?

Instantly claim comp for stubbing your toe on a cobblestone in the street, and before you do that you must find out how much you're legally entitled to scrouge off the welfare state.

Start multiple threads sgging the UK off, telling people you've never met before how you are going to emigrate to a country that you've never been to, but a bloke said down the pub was far better than the UK.

ETA congrats and welcome to being British

Constantly talk/moan about the weather.

Gordon Brown is BRITISH (as he keeps telling us, in an attempt to make us forget he is a Scottish invader bent on destroying England through ruthless incompetence).

Just imitate Gordon Brown and everyone will love you.*

• this is not actually true - everyone will hate you and people will try to kill you.

Work out that being on benefits pays better than real work so get the missus on her back and start pushing out some skiprats.

Also, you may wish to develop a huge chip on your shoulder about absolutely everything and work on a persecution complex to accessorise with your 'it's not fair', 'I'm entitled to it' and 'not my problem' attitudes.

ETA - my what a grumpy post. I think I'm having a bad day. Already.

See what the social will pay you to do nothing?

[trooperiziz]

... Oh wait, you're Irish aren't you? Carry on as usual then.

I wasn't planning on relinquishing my Irish nationality. I rather like the "dual nationality" idea - whioh both Ireland and the UK allow. If maintaining two passports gets too expensive, I'll drop the Irish one.

Learn to understand cricket - not too difficult.

Explain cricket to a member of the fairer sex - impossible!

[Fittster]

Stop working and start claiming benefits.

Absolutely, for a nation of drinkers, the Irish produce some rubbish brews (Smithwicks ) (Harp )

Guinness - I can take it or leave it.
