Ok that's one more thing we will have to toast in Brussells... is somebody making notes of all these?

Hey, you can drink another beer on me on Oct 20.... It'll be my birthday

I am just trying to come up with some good reasons for you all to drink, as I know you wouldn't drink at all if you didn't have a reason....

A big congratulations on such a big step.

Hi Maureen, congratulations on your citizenship change. I'm curious, though, were you obligated to renounce your British citizenship? An American citizen can be born with dual citizenship (like to a French and American parent), but I'd heard the US process for adults requires you to renounce all other citizenships.

Good also to see the "American name-brand" hasn't become completely verboten in Europe. The press and pop-talk shows make it sound like the world regards us as a race of demons.

I had to say a long pledge of allegiance and renounce all allegiances to former princes and principalities..and at the interview the officer stressed the point that once I am a US citizen the US would no longer consider me a citizen of any other nation, which only makes sense.
I do believe from what I have read that Britain still considers me a subject of the Queen, since I was born in Britain and I am a British citizen by birth...I think I lost my German citizenship, because I became a German when my mother applied for it for me when I was four years old. She is a German/American Citizen, because she was born in Germany to a German woman and an American man.
I hope you are duly confused now, because I am
