Where abouts are you from?

[Perseus]

I'm an Aussie; about two hours south of Sydney, in New South Wales.

Have you ever been to the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne? I love F1; I've been to the British Grand Prix at Silverstone...what an experience!

I was born a few blocks from the Carlow East. If you know that bar you know where I was born and raised. No matter.
1. Israel is in the Middle East.Period
2. Greenland is just that...Greenland. Artic, North America, Europe? Who cares.It's what it is: a big windy, icy, chilly rock with polar bears and warm houses with nice people inside. However many years ago there was a trick question: Which European State controls the most territory outside its proper borders (i.e. colonies). England? France? Portugal? No. Denmark.
3. Turkey shmurkey. No decision on this country entering to EC yet. Brussels will decide one of these days. Depends what countries in the EC who want a Muslim State in the Community. And Kurdistan? Still a toss up.
4. Europe ends at the Rurals. But then again that could change too.
5. Scottish friends call the English..."them." What does that mean?
Enjoying your "poll." All the best of luck, Henry

I guess it implies that the Scots have a different identity to the English. Let's face it, 99% of the world confuse great Britain with England. Just for the record:

1. The island north of France and east of Ireland is called Great Britain, not England.
2. It has the suffix 'Great", not because of its former empire, but to distinguish it from Brittainy (Little Britain').
3. England makes up two-thirds of the island, but its people make up 80% of the British population.
4. Scotland has its own Parliament and Wales has an Assembly (like Quebec).
5. The English have the best sense of humour in the world (well, in my humble opinion).

I think so too

Interesting.
The Scots that I've met don't say such things. They don't have to...they're naturals. They laugh at themselves more than the English I think. The best sense of humour. Ever go to a Five (now six) Nation Rugby match? A riot. I'm seeing that as outsider. Now, tell me what "nation" is NOT funny. Could be another forum.

Ya, I can buy that. But what about the Swedes?

 

[Giaguara]

British humor is lovely
Mh nice luno .. Madeira sounds wonderful, at least for climate (and people, culture, food..) so if we weren't planning a trip to Argentina (or Falkland?), for next winter (aka summer there) that would probably be on the list of places to visit soon.. maybe next year anyway

Well obviously I am Welsh. My better half is Irish-American (born in San Francisco and brought up in Ireland).

My father sent me around the States when I was seventeeen. He gave me 100 dollars and a greyhound pass. I visited 26 states in three months. I ran out of money on the last week whilst in NY and didn't eat for five days, until I met an Italian girl who took me her favourite pizzeria. Heaven.

Yes, I know I am waffling, but hey this is the pace to waffle (or eat them)!
