My name is Loch, and I am a Canuck (in Off-topic)

Yep, sworn in as a Canadian citizen this morning... me and a room full of bloody immigrants.

This brings my total number of citizen-ships held to 2.

God how I pity you people of singular nationality!

which 2?

Lochnivar October 13 2011 7:10 PM EDT

British + Canadian

British Loch? You haven't lived in the UK for a long while though eh?

AdminNemesia [Demonic Serenity] October 13 2011 7:13 PM EDT

Yay! Go Loch!

Lochnivar October 13 2011 7:13 PM EDT

Depends, would you say 1984 was a 'long while' ago?

Admindudemus [jabberwocky] October 13 2011 7:14 PM EDT

the book was first published in 1949! ; )

I was 15 in 1984, so yes, it was another lifetime ago!

I'm presuming your folks are Brits and emigrated. Where you from?

I think you're probably better off where you by the way!

I was born in Scotland... lived there and the south coast of England before moving to Canada...

Damn amnesty! Back to the sodded shores of hell with you!

Seriously though congrats! Does this mean you can now come visit without fear of being caught smuggling yourself back in?

Did you get the complimentary jug of maple syrup and a hockey puck? ;)

What makes you think I didn't already have those things?
Maple syrup is like a slightly more awesome version of liquid awesomeness.

As for travelling, I kinda need to get a, ya know, current passport first. My British passport expired during my citizenship application process, but I still needed my 'original application documents' right up to the end, so I couldn't replace it at the time. Heck, might as well get two passports now!
