Oh, don't worry about that. You don't mind if I do it though? Just makes it just a little bit easier if you one puts everything in the correct context.

But, no it's not that I don't like Americans, I actually do like most Americans, I'd just rather that British culture wasn't being quite so saturated with/suffocated by theirs.
I think that is the case for Irish culture as well though (I've seen what the RTÉ TV schedules look like, for instance). And Scandinavian countries - the way that people from Nordic countries speak English can be extremely American, for instance. They tolerate English swear-words than they do far more here. A very offensive swear word in English would almost be considered quite mild in Sweden or Norway, so I gather.

Thank you for saying that,
Henbane. I always imagined you as someone that would be sort of person that would teach children, possibly read them a story, that sort of thing. A worldly person full of interesting things to say.

You are a person, and your individuality comes across strongly.
Is that good or bad, though,
Henbane?

I am a person but I am also a man. It's that part of me that doesn't yet feel fully formed and probably won't for quite some time. I feel like an overgrown child, kept where I am but without the true drive or ability to change into something better.
But at the end of the day, my posts - are just fragments of a person's personality. Even the people who really like me here will never have chance to meet me in person.
Sorry, I'm indulging in a bit of "woe is me" talk, which is quite unlike me.

I don't want friends who I cannot trust - where is the point in that? But something has to give I think. Perhaps being on here as much as I am is not healthy. Still, I'm out of the way in a week's time.

You do have people who care about you on here.
They haven't met me in person though and
that is where the real litmus test is I think for all of us.
Lovely conversing with you, by the way.
