Someday, I’ll do a big long post about one of the real joys of living in Britain — seeing the annual Eurovision song contest on television. It is happening as I type. It is one of the worse things you’ll ever see, awful songs from contestants representing countries from all over Europe. For the UK [...]

My boys were playing baseball today. Just up and decided to play all by themselves, which is a pretty big thrill for an American dad living in England. OK, I’m a sports idiot, as I’ve written before. But I like baseball, going to the odd game on occasion, or pretending I know how to actually [...]

In case you missed it, a British professor found himself wrestled to the ground after jaywalking in Atlanta last week. It brought a giant smile to my face to read this, not because of the thought of this man being accosted in this way. Rather, it’s because I know from personal experience that Brits don’t [...]

As Niall notes, world famous footballer David Beckham is to join the LA Galaxy in July. I saw this earlier and mentioned it at dinner tonight to my sons, one of who loves David Beckham simply because he’s the only footballer he really knows. He was thrilled, since despite being half British, he’s got a [...]

Minor rant here, about being sick and tired of seeing the same pitch for North Cyprus property over and over again on Digg. Can’t Google give them any better ad inventory for UK visitors to see? And while I’m ranting, what’s with the "free" XBox 360 ad that Google’s allowing to slip past the quality [...]

Speaking of Battlestar Galactica, at last the third season arrives in the UK. And I mean the real third season, not that fake third season that got me to buy the "second season" as advertised on the DVD set when I was in the US earlier this year. But it’s not just Battlestar that’s back. [...]

Officially, I’m on vacation this week. Holiday. Holiday at a Center Parcs only a short drive from our home but a great place to get away and spend some days swimming around in the giant pool complex. But my vacation was interrupted by a breakdown in British culture. A shocking breakdown that makes me fear [...]

Blogging on Christmas Day? With the children entertaining themselves with loads of gifts and visiting cousins, I thought it would be fun to share what it’s like to have Christmas in Britain. That’s especially after a good friend sent best wishes via email along with the joke, "Do you have Christmas in Britain." He actually [...]

NOTE: Please see Watching The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade 2010 From Abroad for the latest info. Another Thanksgiving away from home (ie, the US), another Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade that I can’t watch on TV here in the UK. Three years ago, I missed the tradition so much that I took the family to New [...]

The UK’s National Archives have made it possible to search through 1,000 Alien Registration Cards issued from 1876 through 1991 (hat tip, Gary). I’ve got one of those cards, and old green paper thing I’ve still held on to after all these years. I had to register as an alien back in 1988, when I [...]
