I'm an Anglophile from California who is passionate about history and art...not too thorough a description but, there it is.
I have a certian passion for both history and the arts and am at most at home when surrounded by such things. It might sound old fashion, but, I would love to live a life wherein I could read, make music, paint, travel, and basically absorb all the culture I could...a truly cosmopolitan lifestyle...
Though I'd like to meet these guys, I'd be rather scared to do so as they are all quite dead...quite

Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie are great together and, I think, at their best as Jeeves and Wooster
Who doens't love Mr. Bean...just look at that face
I'm guessing hardly anybody recognizes Ant & Dec but I fell in love with their show whilst living in the UK, such cute little Brits

You Belong in London
You belong in London, but you belong in many cities... Hong Kong, San Francisco, Sidney. You fit in almost anywhere.
And London is diverse and international enough to satisfy many of your tastes. From curry to Shakespeare, London (almost) has it all! What European City Do You Belong In?
