English conversations in the Midwest

A tribute to this blog:

http://irishkc.com/2006/05/irish-conversation-in-american-midwest_27.htm


(By "tribute" obviously I mean that not content with my country, ahem, stealing six counties of his homeland I am also going to steal ideas from his blog. Pink Panties.)

-So you're from England huh?
-Yep
-I meet a lot of English people
-Oh yeah? Where?
-IHOP
-International House of Pancakes?!
-No International House of Prayer
-Oh
-Yeah a lot of people from England are coming over here because of what is going on over there
-What's going on over there?
-Lot's of people think there are too many Muslims. What do you think?
-Oh. No. I don't think so. Anyway it is a good thing to have Muslims in the community. We lived in a very multicultural area in London. In fact our local Member of Parliament is a Muslim. I voted for him.
-Oh. Ok.

  • Who : Roldy
  • Where : A Brit right slap-bang in the middle of the USA
  • WTF? : average height, average weight, average class, average looks, average house, average age, average race, average income. I suspect I might be special. Roldy is my wife's nickname for me, rather than meant as some anonymous pseudonym. Originally my wife was the only person reading this blog so it was kind of a joke but it stuck. Larry, Larold, Roldy is how she says she got there.
  • Train artwork? It's by Paul Glennon
  • OOH I wonder what star sign he is! (And other stuff)
