Well mess with my car(s)/Boat/Dog/Wife and I'll probably spear you, so in that respect, I have gone native - and I'm a godless heathen too.

Or do what I did, that is emigrate to a place, where except for my refusal to support Australia in Cricket, Rugby Union etc etc, I found it pretty easy to integrate. I don't drink my beer straight from a stubby either - ugh - disgisting.
