Every time you write anything, doesn't matter what you do, and you can't go back and correct it. But every single word you write or type, you will use the American version of the spelling and when you speak you will use their pronunciation of the word too.

Well, you do. In some cases though (like saville) they were too good at intimidating/covering tracks etc for it to come out when they were alive. Can't threaten or intimidate smoeody when you're dead.

You will be tripping over airport restaurants to get out into London. I wouldn't bother, especially if you would need to go through passport control. Sometimes getting put can take 5 minutes, sometimes 50, some times even worse.

I dunno if it's just me, but if it was a colleague I didn't like, or had no friendliness towards, I'd inform my boss. But if it was a colleague I considered a friend, I would find a way to approach them directly. As others have said, you gotta be sensitive.

Maybe try asking questions that could lead to the reason that they have poor hygene. This will start you off with the air that you're concerned about them and care, rather than pointing the finger and going yuk which I guess is the potential inferrance of theirs you want to 100% avoid.

Sometimes being off sick for a day means that when you come back in, you have two days of work to complete in one day just because of the nature of your job. But yeah if you're not well take the day off or you'll only infect the rest of your office and cause a greater reduction in productivity than if you just stayed away.

Look, you just have an unusual sounding name that makes it sound like two names, first and last when in fact it is one single name. There are numerous ways you could emphasise that, only one way is to also state your surname. Like if your name is Gianluca, and Italian name that sounds like 'John Luca' If being called 'John' bothers you just say 'no it's (phonetically) John-Luke-ah' You won't need to do it often. People generally try to accomodate getting basics like a persons name correct even if they are total idiots.

You'll have a higher metabolism. This will likely have a knock on effect on your digestion, but I couldn't really give you any details on how. Crudely, your metabolism is the rate at which energy is moving through your body. With a higher metabolism you'll make the same walk to the shops, but you'll do it quicker, the same trip upstairs to the loo, but you'll clamber up the stairs quickly instead of sheepishly plodding. It means that at any given moment, you'll just have more energy available to immediately use. That's my understanding of it anyway, IANADoctor.

Do you support things more just because they are British?

I support the England football team just because they are English. But this idea that my nation is always right no matter what, and when it's wrong that's ok because it's us and we'll just carry on with no fallout from being wrong, it's ok, we're allowed to get it wrong without any consequences for our wrongness. Well it would be wrong to expect us to face the consequences of us being wrong. Fuck that nationalist bullshit.

Yeah, the prime example of there being absolutely nothing, nothing at all, that will cause proper gun control to be enacted in the USA. It's funny, because the last time the NRA decided that we should have *more* gun control was in the 60s when the black panthers turned up.
