Where are you from? (Please take the poll!)

[blazeofglory]

I am from Nepal. I think fee people have heard about this tiny country. Nepal is though small in size and a little backward in development and poor in terms of per-capita income but culturally, geographically, historically, civilizationally, spiritually, mythologically, religiously, naturally it is a rich country and I am proud about that. I do not care I am in a poor country but I take pride in the fact that we are richer than other developed economies in many important aspects.

I want to write a poem on the site for all your opinians?

[Bliss Guimond]

I am from Escuminac New Brunswick Canada.
I just finished reading the Thornton W Burgess bedtime syory book Bowser the hound. I had been searching for his writings for a number of years to present to my two sons. I enjoyed not only the story as much as when I first read it 55 years ago but could not keep tears from welling up in my eyes even after all these years. God works in mysterious ways indeed.

[DanielBenoit]

Chipper up, Daniel. Wisconsin's not all bad. Madison is a fantastic city. Stoughton has a wealth of theatres for such a small town. And you mustn't miss out on the riches of Spring Green, like I said before.

Where am I from?

Greece.

The birthplace of western philosophy, the cradle of democracy, the only country allowed to call feta cheese by its proper name (everybody else has to say "white, soft goat cheese" as per the dictates of the Commerce Bereau of the European Union). Winners of the 2004 European Football Championship, frivolous, ill-educated, bunch of wasters. Bankrupt, both politically and financially.

Do come to a Greek island this summer. We need your dosh.

Are the British Isles classed as Northern or Western Europe ? I have plumped for Western for the purposes of this poll.. I do not consider myself european either way. How do other Brits feel ? (without getting "political").

[Pompey Bum]

Well, MANICHAEAN still thinks India's Britain, so I'm guessing there's quite a bit of discretion.

[Jackson Richardson]

Possibly Northern Europe means Scandanavia, so the UK is Western Europe. I certainly think of myself as European, English and an UK citizen.

[Emil Miller]

I don't consider myself to be European or even British. I have never visited Wales, Scotland or Ireland and have no wish to. I'm English, for what it's worth, and that's it

I'm also Scottish, though thankfully living in America... I consider myself American, and nothing but.
The Scots certainly aren't Europeans; what they are is England's doormat, and deservedly so. Forget notions of Braveheart and nationhood, and Highland honor... what they've become is gutless socialists living in a Nanny State, tied to England's apron. It would cost us not one drop of blood to be liberated from English rule, simply vote to become a completely independent nation... and not even that is possible.
A kilt is no more than a Catholic schoolgirl's uniform, bagpipes a sack of tortured kittens.

Scotland isn't England's doormat. The previous two prime ministers were Scots (if you count Blair). Half the Labour government was Scottish at one point. Scots were very enthusiastic empire builders at one point. Somehow, many of them like to feel like they are victims now. It's not as if they want true independence anyway. They want to keep the Pound and stay in the EU, which means doing whatever Germany and France tell them to do.

Kilts do remind me of a schoolgirl's uniform. However, I thought bagpipes were to torture kittens.

PS. A kilt is designed to emphasise hairy masculine legs.


Not necessarily. I once worked with a guy who was a cross-dresser and he told me that he wore a kilt for social occasions.
He was probably less than 5ft tall and when I suggested that perhaps he might be the cause of amused comment, he replied, ' My legs have received admiring glances.'

[prendrelemick]

British. Love that word, British! - The thin red line, Winston Churchill, Charge of the Light Brigade, The Queen- Gawd bless 'er. Sad really.

[Scheherazade]

After living in this country for 15+ years, I decided to take the plunge and applied for British citizenship. .. And took the citizenship test last month. Feel more British than anyone I know now that I know how many members Welsh, English and Scottish parliaments or juries have or when Thatcher was first elected an MP or how old was Mary when she became a queen... Not to mention the kind of paintings produced by Turner or music composed by Vaughan Williams.

(5/100 college lecturers were able to pass this test)

[YesNo]

Congratulations, Scheherazade! That must have been a hard test if only 5 out of 100 can pass it. Or maybe they don't realize they should prepare for it.

[Scheherazade]

Congratulations, Scheherazade! That must have been a hard test if only 5 out of 100 can pass it. Or maybe they don't realize they should prepare for it.The test is hard but my point was that while the immigrants who are applying for citizenship are expected to know the answers to these questions, average (native) Brits wouldn't. .. As proven by the mock test given to the 100 better-than-average educated collage tutors. I sincerely doubt that my neighbors know when Magna Carta was signed or when women over 30 were given the right to vote.

Sample tests: http://www.theuktest.com/life-in-the-uk-test/6

I don't know any of those things!

Oh hang on, 1215 (Magna Carta)

We're going to see it this weekend as it happens.


Edit: Just done the test, - 87%

[Scheherazade]

I don't know any of those things!

Well, now I do... Being "British" and all ;)

Don't hesitate to ask if there is anything you might like to find out about!


Have fun over the weekend!

I failed the test: 70%

You guys need a TV license to watch television?

Yes we do. It pays for the BBC and Channel 4 gets some of it too.
