You Are Relaxed |
You're not just patient, you are on 'island time' no matter what you happen to be doing. You refuse to be in a rush or anyone or anything. It's not worth the stress.

You take everything that happens in stride. As far as you're concerned, very little is worth getting worked up about. If you were a TV channel, you would be Discovery, BBC, or PBS. If you were a cheese, you'd be mozzarella. If you were a store, you'd be Brooks Brothers or Banana Republic. If you were a wine, you'd be Shiraz. |

Cheesy Trivia
Did you know Blue Stilton cheese is a trademark protected name and can only be produced in three English adjacent counties? They are: Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire. Oddly enough, it cannot be produced in the village that gave the cheese its name because it's not in the three permitted counties.

blighter
blighter blight·er [blahy-ter] noun British Slang.
1. a contemptible, worthless person, especially a man; scoundrel or rascal.
2. a chap; bloke.
Having "met" several fantastic British friends since I've been online, I've increased my vocabulary of British slang. (I've also become used to the way certain words are spelled with a "u", such as labour, humour, etc.) I've even adopted a few of the more
