cardinals

a few devils but not many.

:o:D

Canada.

I just also just came back from the hardware store. :o

How come Germany is in with Austria and Switzerland but Ireland is all by itself and not grouped in with the Brits? :D

Even Australia and New Zealand appear as separate countries even though they share the same head of state! :o

Cheers,

And I'd group the USA in with Canada, Mexico, Haiti and Cuba.

(stir - stir... ) :o

Where are other "russian" republics? Or Eastern Europe countries? :o

NO THANK YOU :D:D

Been done before. Look we will have English not want to be in the Brit part, same with Scottish, Welsh and Irish. As for Irish you got Eire( a seperate country form the uk) and you also got N. Ireland( part of the Uk). So why shouldn't Eire have its own vote. I think that this is just an innocent thread and you cant keep everyone happy. I'm Scottish but i voted Britain. I dont have a problem with this as i live in London when back in the Uk.

I came from my Mother and am a citizen of the world in adiditon ot holding special citizenship in Michelonia. Now whey wasn't that mentioned in your poll? Am I being discriminated against?

holding special citizenship in Michelonia...Am I being discriminated against?

yeah, it costs ten bucks to get in!

HOW DARE YOU GROUP NETHERLANDS WITH BELGIUM... I WOULD SUE YOU IF I WAS AMERICAN... I´M NOT BLO#DY SHOUTING, JUST TALKING LOUD... I REFUSE TO VOTE.

So there.... :o

my...ooooh...my....calm down....

comparing netherlands and belgium: there would be 1 million+++ reasons to argue about the mix-up: austria/germany/switzerland/liechtenstein (btw, where is Liechtenstein?) BUT -IMHO- WE (GERMAN SPEAKING) DO NOT CARE....

IF u wanna have a poll survey showing your origin country...do it yourself...but be prepared it has to be a poll indicating 150something nations...

That's easy, as a teacher I am interested where the English speakers are from. Also, there are probably less German speakers on this board than Brits and Irish...

My guess is, that most expats/tourists from Eastern Europe come from these three countries. I often see many Russians (?) in Pattaya, Phuket and Bangkok, and I sometimes meet the odd Hungarian...

Guess again... :o

Nobody from Japan or Korea?? Have they left LOS obvernight? :o

Thanks guys for the many replies! :o

I'm surprised as for the many Brits, Scandinavians and Canadians. Thailand as a expat and traveller destination seems to be very popular in your countries.
