I'm full of the joys of Monday morning (I'm from the UK)...

Definitely in need of a caffeinated beverage. Thanks for welcoming me - where are you from?

UK sounds like a nice place. Currently residing and is a citizen of the U.S. but was born in Vietnam.

Recognition that it was a test was part of the test.

Despite the amount we Brits moan about our country, it is a very good place to live and work. I'm from the South, and there's everything you'd ever want down here: beautiful coastlines and forests to go walking, pretty good weather most of the time, and most importantly real beer.

How d'you do?

THAT is the correct response (unless of course you are an American and don't know any better)

That sounds worryingly circular.
I have an image of overly polite gents caught in a greetings loop suffering dehydration and death, their corpses to shrivelled to temp even a dog.

Oh damn I'm being morbid again, here ya go Zav, have a cat.
I wouldn't trust it though, looks shifty.

Welcome.

I assume that you are in the shitty part of Britain... You know... That part south of Scotland.

It's also a problem with over-politeness at doors. "You first." "No, you first." That's why there are always flowers outside buildings.

As for the kitty, thanks, Pud. Perhaps aleialoura might like one too. I have to say that I've never trusted cats for many good reasons.

Just everything south... So, I suppose that includes Wales.

Welcome, Zavdiel. Are you an angel or Kryptonian or Canaanite deity?

Whereabouts in the South are you, Zavdiel? I'm in Basingstoke, originally from Southampton area. There's a few of us southern softies on here.

Welcome to the forums.

Sweeeeet

Cause in that case, you've been failing 12 tests ever since you arrived. What you don't recognize them?!?! That's part of the test!

Angel will do.

Welcome to the forums.

I'm a Southamptonite. Southern Softies sounds like it should be an adorable folk band from days of old.
