I shall try to define myself in a sentence with a pithy comment at the end:
I'm just an English bloke who lives in Canada after marrying a Canadian lady he met while living in Japan. Yeah, that old cliché.

Email me for fun and frolics*! My address goes along the lines of Japanese (dot) smoth (@) gmail (dot) com.

Me:
You could be using the touch screen self-service machine after someone who just picked their arse.
Coworker 2:
That would be bad.
Everyone:

You know what my favourite British comedy film of the last 25 years is?
