What country are you from?

» Quick access to the last post

I realized that I have no idea where most of you are located... and if you want to specify a province/state/city/town/etc you can, but you don't have to. You can also mention if you were born somewhere else vs where you live now.

I am in Canada, in the province of Newfoundland.


I would also love to do a basic stats analysis of us by countries, if people are in favor of this...

 I was born at my parents house (so not a hospital) three miles from here, in
a snowstorm in February 1956. It is the house shown in my third picture on the 'Your Own Picture' topic. :)

P.S. On the left of that map is Spring Lane (near Stagsden village, two miles from here) where I took my avatar picture one evening, on top of the hill, facing west.

I confess, I have no idea where I would put you in a statistical analysis. Turkey seems the most reasonable but... ?

2) When are you ... and nobody ... surely not at home?
3) Any nervous dogs in the neighbourhood?

Click on "Start a swap" on the left sidebar;
Click on "Find members near your home";
as a result you'll have a google map which you can zoom-in&out to find people anywhere.

Oh, that thing... but that includes a bazillion and one members who don't even post on the forums, and people who have no coins even listed, etc.

For statistical purposes, where you physically live most of the time, excluding your stint in the UAE, would be the country I'd like to know.

Born in Riga, USSR (now Latvia) some 40+ years ago. Live in Toronto area, Ontario, Canada for almost 20 years.
Dual nationality, proud Anglo Rebel.



Born in a small town on the Pennines many moons ago and just wandered around God's green earth until 9/11 at which point I refused to fly. Being in the US at the time, that's where I've stayed. I'm now married to a red haired, green eyed Irish/Sicilian Southern Belle from Alabama and I've adopted one cat, one puppy and one gorgeous two year old princess.

We originally lived in Akron, Ohio but I hated it because it was so damned cold, full of Yankees who still stop and point when an airplane flies past, industrial decay and women with thick ankles. So we relocated South of the Mason Dixon line and here in the Land of Cotton we will stay, away down South in Dixie.

We will be relocating from Florida to that other fine Confederate States of America paradise, Eastern Tennessee. No rush, we are taking our time finding the perfect property. high elevation, water access and as far away from neighbors, and especially the government, as possible. If I want to sit on my front porch in my underwear, drink 'shine and sing rebel songs then that's what I'm going to do dammit.

Phil, that's a strange flag. Certainly not what I would have assumed you would pick to represent yourself. I thought you might have gone for the 13 colonies.. Since it still has both new flags on it.

I still hope we can get over there to see you sometime soon, the timing has just been all wrong since were now in the process of buying a house lol

We have the Union Jack and the CSA Battle Flag outside our house. We have three flagpoles. The third flies either the Bonnie Blue or the Gadsen. It keeps those ghetto people away. They are currently empty as Hurricane Season is just getting started.

Save your money mate. Move to the US and buy a house here, house prices are a fraction of UK prices and land is even cheaper. I looked up my old home in England and it's current value is outrageous.

Ah, women.

We avoid such arguments by dividing up the decision making process into his 'n' hers. My dear lady wive gets to decide our position on the globally important stuff such as Agenda 21 and the UN Small Arms Treaty and I get to deal with all the mundane stuff like where we live and what vehicles we drive.
