I know our circles are not the biggest fans of spectator sports but going to a baseball game and chatting with the people around you is a great way to improve socially with basically no negative repercussions if you screw up.
Any social event is an opportunity to enhance your social skills and establish a reputation. Our guys need to realize likeability goes a long way. Sometimes you just have to fake it till you make it.
And refine your standard English accent while you are at it- gape and lengthen your a’s, enunciate your t’s- the typical American will now view you as “sophisticated”, “foreign”, “mysterious”, “European”. Call elevators “lifts”, cigarettes “fags” and start telling people you intend to visit (women, especially, will love this) that you will “knock them up.”
Remember, the guy that told us to wash our hands and eventually saved thousands and thousands of lives was ignored for too long because he was a a-hole.

That was pretty good. I already posted my thoughts in a more coherent manner on Twatter.
