Sorry I had to snip so much of your excellent post. 

I have also enjoyed the many new British expressions. I still haven't 
figured them all out. Right now, I don't know if I should or shouldn't 
be having a "shufti" after reading some parts of DH. No amount of 
context has been able to enlighten me as to the meaning of this slang.

And you know, I'm not at all pissed. I just go to the pub and get 
pissed. :)
