English is my first language ("He is an englishman, for he himself has said it, and It's greatly to his credit..." etc), I speak rudimentary German and French, and can insult in Latin, Russian, Korean and Swahili. I live in the good old United Kingdom, where we spell some words with an extra 'u' e.g. colour, honour, valour, and pronounce aluminium like it's spelt. One thing I am fussy about is people disparaging religious faith, especially mine.
My favourite show is Star Trek TNG. I like Gilbert&Sullivan, Frank Sinatra, Tom Lehrer and anything else most people don't! ;-)

I'm not sure my political views are relevant here... but a 2-page copy of them is avaliable via email. Oh, and you'll love the bit about Iraq. Unless you live in California.

Oh, and a big HELLO to Mom, Brewer, and Saddam.

Quotes:

"Now landsmen all, whomever you may be,
if you want to rise to the top of the tree,
If your soul isn't fettered to an office stool
Be careful to be guided by this golden rule:
Stick close to your desks, and never go to sea...
And you may all be rulers of the Queen's Navy!"
-Gilbert & Sullivan, HMS Pinafore

"And while the House of Peers witholds
It's legislative hand;
And politicians do not itch, to interefere in matters which
They do not understand.
Then bright will shine Great Britain's rays,
As in King George's glorious days!
Yes, bright will shine Great Britain's rays,
As in King George's glorious days!"
-Gilbert & Sullivan, Iolanthe
