How To Get Yourself Knighted in 7 Easy Steps

Hello, all! Long time, no see! I apologize for being absentee on this blog for a while, and here is a feeble attempt to rectify the oversight.

As some people know, I recently moved to England from New York. I'm loving being back in the mother country, and reveling in some of the most basic changes: tea every single day (yum!), debating the proper words for various articles of clothing, re-learning each of the teeny-tiny coins by touch to avoid looking foolish at Starbucks, constantly explaining to people that I *am* a citizen, even though I have a funny accent, and allowing myself to believe that I'll run into Harry Potter and/or Hugh Grant at any given corner...to name a few.

In honor of the recent move - and my inability to keep touch with reality - here are some UK-inspired laughs to get you through your Monday.



#1: This extremely newsworthy front-page story on The Guardian online






#2: This gent who gets himself into a tight squeeze





#3: These everyday struggles





#4: You can also follow VeryBritishProblems on Twitter





#5: Sirs Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen


Because American football perplexes them

Because they are the best duo in the history of mankind
And because we <3 them as much as they <3 each other


#6: This Ikea in Wembley that ran a feline-friendly social experiment




#7: And finally, this picture of David Cameron


Because I can.


Now, in honor of the Bank Holiday, I'm off to enjoy a cup of Earl Grey and a jaunt out in the rain. Ta!

  1. Not Hugh Grant or Harry P, but I did see Damien Lewis on the beach and our host saw the Camerons in the local fishmonger ordering monkfish.
