For those of you who don’t know, I’m a Brit who’s been working in the US for the last 18 months. It’s been an incredible experience. Fuck everyone of you narrow minded europeans who still think of the US as some kind of cultural backwater. You’re wrong motherfuckers. My two experiences of meeting fellow dopers were incredible. My time here has been well spent. I could go into all the details of my time here but it’s not necessary. The Americans have been the most sublime of hosts. My eyes will be filled with tears when I leave on sunday. Both the SD posters and the American people in general have been the most welcoming hosts I could ever have imagined. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Really, I am in tears as I write this, and that doesn’t happen very often. I’ll be back. You are a wonderful people.
Andy, choked up to fuck. Don’t forget me.
A pleasure to have hosted you, mate.
Don’t forget to shut the lights as you leave.
And put the key under the mat. That way you can let yourself back in upon your return.

Have a safe trip and come back soon. We’ll put a candle in the window for you.
Android,
I’m glad to hear your visit here has given you such a great experience. As someone who faced the possibility of having to returt to my own country for a few years, I understand what you are feeling. Hurry back, and drop into chat when you can in the meantime.
You think we’re letting you back in here?

Holy crap. Thanks for the heads up, Matt, I’m calling Schiphol as we speak. He might divert to My Little Paradise when he gets kicked out of the UK 
hugs Bye, you wacky Brit. It was a pleasure to meet you here, and in person. I’ll miss you, and miss you in chat. Have a few beers for me, hon. Fuck, now I’m starting to cry.

**android[/d], you do know that the U.K, has recently started allowing people to sign on to the internet?
You may not be able to hoist one in company, but there is no reason why you should miss out on all the scintillating wit in the Pit or the stodgy answers posted to GQ or the querelous challenges to Cecil in his Forum.
And stay the fuck out! Ya lousy Brit!
Hey Andy, #3!
Good luck bro, bust into chat every now and then to let us know you’re still alive wouldja?
One less Okie in Muskogee, damn it all.
See ya later, Andy, and I’ll miss ya.
Aww, my favorite drunken Brit is leaving? We’ll miss you!
Have a safe trip back, and pop in here whenever you can.
I foresee the supply of beer in Chicago to rise dramatically in the near future…
From An expatriat Brit to a soon to be repatriated one:
Glad you enjoyed your stay!
Android:
The 3-year tour of duty I spent in England with the Air Force were the best of my career. For a lot of us who were fortunate enough to live in your great country for a part of our lives, there will always be an England. 
Oh yeah, good luck on your newest royal-to-be, Princess Britney Spears! You sure you don’t wanna stay here?!
Hiya android! Cristi here, in case you’re unaware of the name change.
Meeting you in Chicago was an experience I’ll never forget. The memory of a drunken Brit who knows all the words to “Okie from Muskogee” will stay with me forever.
You’re a hell of a nice guy, and I hope you can find a way to get back here someday.
Have a safe trip, and send me a postcard!
Android, I hardly knew ye but I’m glad you enjoyed our country. Come back soon . . . you’ll always be welcome.
As a Brit who has spent a lot of time in the US, but never yet managed to stay there permanently (damn!), I’d like to echo the sentiments in this OP. The best thing about America is simply this: the people in it. I’d rather hang out with ‘Yanks’ than Brits any day (or evening) of the week. You’re just so much more fun, open-minded, mature and cool to hang with. Oh, and don’t even get me started on American .v. British women. Basically, on the basis of marks out of 20, it works like this: Brit women 1, American 57. To all American males, I implore you never to underestimate just how lucky you are!
Android, you’re a total blast and don’t think for a skinny minute we’re letting you drift away from us. Maybe you won’t be right next door, basking in Chicago’s temperate climate, but you won’t be more than a few mouse clicks and keystrokes away.
Amble on back to the States as often as you can. You have US and Canadian Doper buddies strung the hell and gone all across the continent. (Hey, when Satan was planning his cross-country jaunt people were almost fighting to put him up to stay–and he trails that distinctive sulpher smell!)
Face it, you’ve been well and truly adopted, and if you don’t haul your ass back here to your other home on a regular basis, we’ll come looking for you. Just consider what a bunch of “Android-sick” Dopers would do to your apartment and bar tab.
We’ll give you a little time to get over the jet lag, get settled and check back in. Monday should do it. Then if you haven’t popped back up here, we’re hunting you down.
Safe journey to you, friend, and remember you always have a home here. Lots of homes, actually.
All the best,
Veb
I’m glad you liked America; I think it’s a great place and yes, I’ve been abroad. And, amazingly, I AM a broad! Bwha ha ha!
Come back soon and tell all your friends that despite what SOME of us say about America, it really is a great place. And most of us love tourists! Especially Brits with those sexy accents!
Andy-
I am so glad I got to meet you, and I am counting on seeing you again. You’ve got a place to stay in San Francisco, and next time we solve the Irish/English problem, we’ll take notes so we can remember!
smooch
