Wales ...where men are men and sheep get frightened

How do you get virgin wool ?

A: When the sheep run faster than the shepherd

:rolleyes:

Where am I from? That's a question that's more difficult to answer than you probably think.

I am originally from the U.S.A., but haven't actually lived there except for short visits in over 45 years.

I have lived and/or worked in the following:

Vietnam

Puerto Rico

Ethiopia (now Eritria)

Iceland

Faroyar (the Faroe Islands...an autonomous part of Denmark)

Saudi Arabia

Turkey

Greece

and I am now retired and living in Bangkok, Thailand.

So guess those places are "where I'm from". But I'll settle for the U.S.A.

:D

Texas, or course.

cockney here

I was born in the land of fruits and nuts, Fresno, California, USA.

Like I said....

my family moved to California when I was 5 y.o., not to be confused with the rest of the US...

then I returned to my birthplace in Nashville after just having spent 2 years in Bolivia and at high school there when asked where I was from and my reply: 'I was born here in Nashville at St Thomas Hospital' their reply was: 'yeah...sure...'

I was de facto disqualified from being a southerner...(sigh) just as well...

Scotland, it's quite annoying that according to the United Nations that Scotland doesn't exist. Nor,for that matter does England.......I'm pretty sure I've been in England a few times, and I know I've spent a lot of time in Scotland. I've even been in Wales and Northern Ireland too, and hey, they don't exist either??? .....hmmm, someone seems to have mis-placed a few countries.

Like I said....

Looks like a Summers day in Glasgow to me.

Well, for some reason California wasn't an option,:rolleyes: so I had to vote North America!;)

why was ' My Mum ' not an option :whistling:

Because the OP is not 10 perhaps?

East London, Southern England

why was ' My Mum ' not an option :whistling:

I agree, 'Your Mum' should have been an option ;)

I come in peace from the planet Earth :whistling: , lol thats a crock of crap, we on Earth are some of the most violent, insane, killing, sadistic, barbaric ruthless, crazy fuuks in the solar system, the apes are higher on the animal chain, this world is doomed.:unsure:

Thanks Ping, glad to see the natgeo's 'end of the world' marathon this weekend was viewed by at least one person.

I consider myself a citizen of this planet and a child of the universe! whistling.gif

But an old comment " Sub " Thailand's immigration thinks I'm from outer space, " An Alien ".:D

why was ' My Mum ' not an option :whistling:

Greenland.

Alexa rankings indicate there must be some people from India, China and the Philippines here.

http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/thaivisa.com#

I don't see Russians listed in the Alexa stats for some reason but I'm sure they are here too.

I think you should post the same poll on Thaivisa-ov, Thaivisa's sister Russian forum. You may get very different results.

Why isn't there a loog-krueng box? Are we supposed to just pick one?

11 from Benelux (including me) and no French national?

Maybe some subtitles needed here to help them a little ;)

Aussie, but a French National.

Usually just say I'm Australasian.

I'm Thai but born and raised in Australia, only been here for 2wks!!

From Singapore but not a Chinese.
