I'm an angel. I've recently arrived on Earth and I'm not used to your ways. Any tips to help me fit in?

Welcome! If you have anything of value...stash it on a cloud. :)

Find your local chapter and they will give you advice on which bike to buy and suitable colours.
If you don’t want to be a member of a gang then make sure you have plenty of cash - this allows you to do pretty much whatever you like and still fit in almost anywhere under the cloak of an eccentric.
NB Don’t try acting the same without cash or you will almost immediately be arrested and forced to join the growing number of other poor angels who couldn’t understand the system and had no cash.
If you’re so new you don’t understand the concept of cash - it is usually in the form of little coloured bits of paper with pictures and numbers printed on them. There is no easy guide as to what value these bits of paper might have other than giving them to people and observing their reaction.
It is safe to say that, which ever type of cash is fashionable where ever you are, that the ones with the most zeros on the end tend to be most effective. This only applies to the number which is printed in the largest type and the numbers in smaller type are fairly irrelevant unless they are all identical in which case you should be very careful not to use more than one at once. Good Luck!

Welcome Angel Algy, am afraid you caint trust as you used to. Also dont take everything too seriously, people will think your autistic. Dont believe everything your told & learn what "sayings" are. If people say 'its just a saying' it means, put most simlpy, whatever they just said was nonsense to mean something else! It would be best if you could find someone who understands you who you can ask questions and they tell you the truth explained best as they can.

Depending on what part of the world you intend to put
down routes, if you decide to buy a car, make sure
you drive on the right side of the road, in England
it's the left.

Don't offend the neighbours.
And think before you speak.

Be nice. I saw that on a writer's forum.

avoid falling in love, at least until you've found your feet. if you do, probably best if it's a human. also, don't expect to climb out of it any time soon. good luck!

Well, honesty will get you nowhere, parable might work, but best to learn the weirding way of spin, media and duplicity, if only to avoid them.
Heavens, it's been said above 'people will think your autistic.'
Now, you wouldn't want that 'stigma', would you?

Learn to read and write English- you'll get a long way. And sing- it will make you happy and probably others around you. Angels can always sing! Don't worry if it rains- sunshine is for free. Oh Yes wear shoes so you can leave footprints in the sand. Hide your wings- someone might fancy them and then you are stuck here forever and ever.
Good Luck
Luck and chance mean a lot.

When needing clothes in order to pass amongst ordinary mortals, remember that shops operate on totally different seasons from the rest of us. If you want swimming attire, you're stuffed if you try any later than April. If you want a woolly dressing gown and slippers for January, plan ahead and go shopping about now. If you want to give Junior Angels a spell in a human school (though I wouldn't recommend it), remember you have to buy uniform for September during the first week of the summer holidays, otherwise Junior will be going in trousers up round his/her knees, and blazer down round his/her ankles.
If you are lonely and look for human love among the small ads, remember that 'youthful 40 something' means emotionally immature knobhead, and 'slim, fit 50 y.o. male seeks woman, size 8 or smaller, 18-20 yrs' means you ought to be calling the police.

always wear clean underwear in case you get knocked down oh and always get their name; it'll come in handy later. One last thing never, never eat a hot dog! it isn't really a dog but nobody's sure what it exactly is - i've heard stories!
