Where is everyone from??

[Celebuial]

I'm from Leicester, England. I couldn't really be bothered to read all the other replies to this(there's so many pages!!!!!) so I don't know if any one else is from around here! Oh well!!!!

[AbercrombieOfRohan]

I'm sorry, Mr. Barrow-Wight and Mr. Saucepan Man, but I just have to point formendacil and other BD-er's with an interest in hockey to this site. Just a quick little off-topic note. Don't hurt me *cowers*.

I think Phervasion is from near Brum, not sure which side though. I'm in (not from, even if this comment does restart the war of the Roses ) Yorkshire, and so is davem, and Amanaduial The Archer is from near Manchester if I'm not mistaken, and narfforc is from Lancashire. So, Celebuial, there are some of us quite near to you

Not exactly round the corner though.... It is all North to me ... save that having roots in Warwickshire, Leicester is on the fringes of my known Universe - (I wonder if that will cause the Yorkists and Lancastrians to forget their differences in order to gang up on the southerner? I did have a friend who reckoned a mutual friend was a Northerner because she was born in Salisbury ... but I think that was a bit extreme......

[Amanaduial the archer]

Far North?! I should say so - Eomer is Scottish, methinks!

Leicester...that would be maybe two hours drive away from me, less by train - I live in Greater Manchester. Survey this handy map

A little closer to you is Mattius, a fellow RPG and an all around delightful fellow: he is, as he has said before on this thread, is from Sheffield. Or maybe Lady_Báin, an inhabitant of Peterborough, but I ain't seen her any time recently.

So hey, you're not alone. *stares wistfully into space

Such differences can be easily settled when southerners come along and 'give cheek'. Of course, I hasten to add, Lancashire did win. Wars of over five hundred years ago are not easily forgotten...

Surprising number of fellow North Carolin...inininiers.
In Boone, myself, at least at the present moment. Although quite proud of my California birthplace (and we don't talk about the 12 years in Iowa...)

Canadian women are the best looking women in the world

Ok, so we can talk about it. Jack Kerouac said Iowan women were the most beautiful in the world. You gonna argue with Kerouac? Huh?


Thought not.

Jack Kerouac said Iowan women were the most beautiful in the world.

I wish! (Iowa is but a two minute drive away from me)

In my experience though, girls from SW Omaha are much hotter than the ones across the river. Then again, Iowa is where I found my last girlfriend.

But I have to agree with Fordy on this. A ridiculously large percentage of the girls I've met from Canada were off the charts. You guys up there are blessed.

Says who?! Well, I guess I can agree with that. Partly. My friend is from Canada and she is one of the prettiest girls I have ever seen. I think Arab women are the most beautiful though.

I wish I could see a few of them.

Well, I have to admit that I was indoctrinated at an early age by a Yorkie history teacher so I still am of the "Richard III" was stitched up brigade... and my best friend in the world is a Yorkie..... so we have more or less worked through the North - SOuth thing....

The French thing is worse.. in france I am often held personally responsible for everything since the 100 years war ...... and here some people think I must be French cos I was bilingual.... doubly damned....

What ever happened to the World Map that showed where a lot of Downers lived in the World?

It vanished, unfortunately. It was pretty impressive actually - there were a surprising amount of 'Downs-owned' countries, as you put it, Ainaserkewen - world domination, here we come! But it couldn't hold more than a couple of hundred Downer points, I think, so the newew points eventually started wiping off the older ones. I can't remember exactly why, but it stopped working. Being as there was no one who seemed to have the time, facilities and knowledge to start up and maintain a new one, the map vanished.

Pity, really. Good while it lasted.

I am sure that it's still there somewhere. Burra posted a link to it on a thread much like this one about a year ago and I went along and pinpointed myself, sadly wiping another Downer of the face of the earth in the process since, as Aman points out, it had only limited capacity.
