  This actually happened a few days ago, but anyway, I learned that :heart: Bryan Cranston :heart:
   has received an Oscar nomination for Best Actor for his work in Trumbo.  I'm pretty stoked.  8)

Met with some American colleagues. Nice people but very different from the Brits I'm used to.

How were they different?  :orly:

They are very open and forthcoming, in a professional way. A Brit will--maybe--talk about the weather when forced to, and offer an awkward hello until spoken to again. The Brits know irony, though, and puns, and weird references to obscure things.

If you have to talk to someone entirely new to you, an American will probably be a better choice. If you manage to get past the introductions and the unspoken codes, a Brit is probably funnier.

Brits sound like a bunch of spazzes, so the spazzes must be extra special spazzy to stand out above that.  :zoinks:

Brits not talk about the weather?  Wah?  We have more ways to describe rain than Innuits have to describe snow. 

And yes we have our fair share of s**zzes.  Although section 4, subsection 32g of the unspoken code states that you can no longer use the word s**z.
