Well, today is the big day. If you recall, back in August I took the British citizenship exam . Passed, of course, and today is the day I get to raise my right hand and swear my loyalty to queen and country or some such. I suppose it would be a good idea if I read the sweary bits before I go in, just in case I’m signing over my house or something.

I do recall however, that it starts out something like:

I do solemnly, sincerely and truly declare…

Really really truly truly I mean it I promise.

This is the option for people who, like myself, don’t feel comfortable with the “oath” version, in which you say something like:

I swear by Almighty God

So, you don’t have to bring the big guy into it… if you really really truly mean it.

Won’t be back this afternoon, because I’m planning to spend the afternoon finding out how to join the Scottish National Party… As soon as I really really truly swear my allegiance, I’m gonna hop on that Scottish separatist bandwagon and hoist the Saltire outside my house. We Scots have always been rebellious, and I have some catching up to do.
