Happy St. George's Day to my fellow English ex-pats.

If you'd like to come over to mine for a cup of tea and a rousing verse or two of Jerusalem.

Of course I'll open my doors to anyone, but you have to put on an English accent. Or at least dress up as a famous English person. I'm serious about that. Suggestions include the Queen, Queen, and any one of the Spice Girls.

	That is an excellent idea, my love. Can we dress up even though we are English? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_eames 2013-04-23 08:35 am UTC (link)
	Of course. I don't see why not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Let me rephrase is: what do I need to do to make you dress up in something handsome? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What is a Spice Girl? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	This should explain everything to you. Feel free to dress Nick up as Baby Spice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Good grief! That was unlike anything I have ever seen or heard before. Who are these women? Simply- entertainers? Which one is Baby? Although I assume you are merely joking, I can't imagine he would consider it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	By "tea" do you mean alcohol? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	No. I mean tea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Does dressing up as one of the Doctor's companions count? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_eames 2013-04-23 01:57 pm UTC (link)
	Absolutely! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's good because my English accent is for shit. I would hate to assault your ears with it. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	What if I were to dress as Guinevere, Queen of Camelot? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_eames 2013-04-23 07:09 pm UTC (link)
	You'd win the prize for most accurate dress, m'lady. But as you're English you don't need to dress up. But you can, of course. I'll never turn away a grandly dressed gentlewoman! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He has to conform to the rules like everyone else. Either sport an English accent or dress up as a famous English person. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ghostwiththetea 2013-04-23 07:32 pm UTC (link)
	I imagine he could pull off the accent (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well... ~~because I know that I'm actually DEAD on (or in) British soil~~ I wouldn't exactly consider myself an "ex-pat" quite yet, but... I'm up for a cuppa, if you'll have me in your home, too...!

And in reference to the above joke (at least I hope it was a joke!) I also take generous amounts of crack and alcohol in MY tea... I mean, there are people who say tea should be as bitter as wormwood, and as sharp as a two-edged sword, but - well - I think that's utterly VILE myself - at least, without the sugar and milk!

	Well... you're not in England. This...this isn't England... and you're here. So that makes you an expat. Why wouldn't I? And you can make your tea as you like. I've laid all of the things out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cover_story 2013-04-23 07:20 pm UTC (link)
	True enough, good sir... though I'm afraid that my heart will always remain in England! ~~along with the rest of my corpse, I suppose...!~~ Well.... frankly, I got the strange impression you disliked me for some reason, sir...! But that's all water under the bridge, if we can meet over tea in peace and harmony, post a dragon slaying...! Heh! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	onmyown 2013-04-23 06:23 pm UTC (link)
	Tea sounds lovely! And I haven't seen you in a while, so it would be nice to catch up, if you wouldn't mind? I'm not sure about my English accent, though. I'm rather unmistakably French... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_eames 2013-04-23 07:16 pm UTC (link)
	Of course! You're more than welcome! You are very French, my love, but please do come. If you'd like to dress up that would be lovely! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, mate. I was going to say, any of the commonweath can come as they are! Just turn up. You're a brother from another mother, eh! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
