Where Are You From?

[~G~]

I'm not surprised at the Aussie and Brits votes but I am surprised at the USA vote running second. Apart from the Alamo Bar in soi 8 and Tonys in Walking street I rarely run into them anywhere in Pattaya or anywhere else In Thailand. The most common groups I run into (young and old) are still Brits, Aussies and Germans. So where you Americans hang out?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

This poll asks where the members are from, not if they live in LOS......

I would guess most members here do not live in LOS anyway.

Time for another poll ?

Go ahead and post it - replies I got to this pole included accusations of being nosy and/or a troll - not risking my neck again!

just my 2 satang

PS : if there would be such a poll, do not forget to mention Outermongolia.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Outermongolia? Is that in Belgium?

And I didn't realise you were a Belgian. Trouble is all the Belgians that come into the bar are so squeaky clean we have to take the mickey out of their country. By the way can you name 5 famous Belgians.

thanks, well i'm from baarle-hertog, which is belgium, but when i was born the front door of our house was in baarle-nassau, which is dutch, so now i get the p1ss from both ends

my old man moved the front door two times, depending on which country had the most favourable tax regime, so now its belgium again

[djinn]

Belgians are strange people.

You touch their country when they are abroad and they bite you

They come back home and they fight between flemishs and walloons

But in any circonstances they bytes dutchs

[CanadianBacon]

i guess its fairly obvious where im from....

We must remember that most mercans haven't got the hang of a computer yet. So maybe this poll is not representative. But I'm not one to generalise lol

[warriors]

Let us get this right it is the bloody Austrailians that f---k sheep we only sell them to to them.

New Zealand looks like we should be in about 9th place on the poll next time add us to the list.

Thanks oh yes we have some famous people to all good ones.

I am the only Paddy IRISH who has voted but i know of a least 16 others mostly in Phuket.

This is a very boring question. Since this is an all English site naturally there will be lots more people from English speaking countires. You will get a completely diffrent survey if this is a German sites. English is an international language but most people still learn it as 2nd or 3rd language and most people around the world still feel to lazy to participate in a language that is 2nd or 3rd to you.

No, Americans just invented it and gave it to the world. It was a Brit who adapted the www to it so you could cast slurs. I would not be one to generalize though.

Slag off on Americans through cyberspace if you want. It seems to be in style these days, as I'm sure they've well noticed all the "sweetness" coming from their "friends" from "Ole Blighty".

I don't have time for it though.
