[Bongitybongbong]

Thanks but their were others that were true like Stan's.

[Jester]

whu do you say that we're lying???

[amuse]

yo! sub - ?
:D
have always wondered where you're from, crisaor. never expected to find out.

[Bongitybongbong]

whu do you say that we're lying???
I didn't say anything, so don't bite off my head.

[amuse]

Jes meant sub

ooh, nice lock!

[baddad]

Yeah Subby......I see what you mean...And I am assuming that is because Bongitybongbong and I fear no evil, 'cause we are the meanest *&%(&*&%* in the valley...
....ooohhhhh.......dancing bananas.....and a very excited dancing lock........

[Scheherazade]

I am lost...

[subterranean]

People do take a look at your location info under the join date info under your avatar.

Now, do correct me if I'm wrong, but only BADDAD and BONG so far who put the same place in the location info and the place you posted here.

For example:
MY location: The dark side of the moon
My post: Jakarta, Indonesia

Why is it so confusing anyway?

[subterranean]

Oh please dad, don't call me Subby
I hate that name....


Yeah Subby......I see what you mean...And I am assuming that is because Bongitybongbong and I fear no evil, 'cause we are the meanest *&%(&*&%* in the valley...
....ooohhhhh.......dancing bananas.....and a very excited dancing lock........

[Scheherazade]

Don't know... You tell us?

[subterranean]

Tell you what?

[Monica]

Katowice, Poland (and I am very happy about this fact because in July U2 comes to Katowice :banana: )

[Taliesin]

But We do not see. We are not lying. Do you know where the West Pole is?
It could very well be in Tartu, Estonia.
After all, it is the center of the universe.

Laughing.....you have a good sense of humour!

I had mentioned it a few times before, in other threads. No real mistery. :)

[Zeus]

A bit over the top, I would have thought, Subterranean. A touch of a scattergun about your assertion, methinks. A little bit more usage of your ample (I am sure) grey matter would clearly show that my location, the island of Ireland, correlates with 'Offshoreislander', a subtle ( I modestly think ) allusion to the 'Auld Enemy', lurking ominously on the other side of the Irish Sea.

[Bongitybongbong]

[mono]

I would never blame you for desiring to return to Portland. I have lived here all of my life, and have not yet felt bored of the city; much of it seems saturated with some of my favorite things - art, nature, science museums, and friendly people. I have never visited Oklahoma, so I have no idea regarding comparisons, but I wish you the best of luck in your persuasion.

[shortysweetp]

All of my step-family is there still. I love being able to ride the bus wherever and whenever, shopping and walking downtown in a real city. taxis (my stepfather drove one until he had a stroke about 7-8 years ago) the rose garden, the mountains, river,and ocean. I love it and the culture.

[subterranean]

OK OK...I'll update my comment

Everyone is telling the truth and I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry ;)

[crisaor]

Maybe you missed it, it's not like it's worth remembering information anyway. ;)
There was a thread who was exactly like this (not the one Jay provided the link for), in which I also responded, but Admin erased it because of some right-winged comments of the fool of this board.

[Psyche]

Portland, OR USA ;)

[Jester]

oh... hmmm..... okay.... I'm actually not lying

<--- about that comment over there in location...

[Bongitybongbong]

OK OK...I'll update my comment

Everyone is telling the truth and I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry ;)
You better be sorry!!! j/k

[Jay]

Would explain it though :p

[simon]

I am currently MIA, but I hail form the south and north of the North American continent.

[Jay]

I suppose I don't need to say anything :D
<---<<-

[subterranean]

Yea jay, you don't

[Jay]

What a nice way of telling me to shut up :D. j/k Sub, know what you meant, lol

[Molko]

Im from Australia...anyone else from the land down under? lol

[Koa]

Cool to get to know where all the newcomers are from, now that I might be back on forum business soon...

I'm spending my last week in Szeged, in the south of Hungary, I will miss it like crazy :( :( :( (will tell you all about it once I m back home). And so next saturday I'll be back to my own pc in Verona, Italy. (actually, my dad and brother took over the pc but I might get a laptop quite soon...)

Hi to all those who joined after August last year and didnt have time to enjoy much of me :D

[Miss Darcy]

Verona! Cool, I've been there...lol lovely place. I still remember going to see "Juliet's Balcony" and the guy hanging around below it, dressed up in Renaissance clothes, holding a red rose, and looking intensely bored! And the Arena di Verona...we didn't actually go in, but went all around it looking for a bubbler - it was so hot! :) *Muses* Oh, all these lovely memories...I love travelling. Though I haven't been to Hungary, how is it? We have family friends from over there, and my mum's family used to go there for summer...

Molko, I'm from Australia too! What state are you from? I'm from QLD, but we're moving to Sydney early this March (according to plans).

Jay, would have commented earlier, I was very nicely surprised to see that you're from the CZ! I've spent...hmm...almost a quarter of my life over there, you see my mum's Czech.

Anyway, must go, lunch,

Miss Darcy

P.S. You know, I was in an English chat room once, and when I said I was from Australia they didn't believe me! :lol:

P.P.S. My friends spent five years in Indonesia, Sub....can't remember where exactly, though. Lol I keep coming back to this! ;) (Not that my friends being there has anything to do with me being there...)

[Koa]

Eheh Miss Darcy, you seem to have been or know people who have been to most places :)

Ah cool, you've been to Verona! I love to see tourists around! I love the city but after having been here I lost my interest in it, I dont know, I ve always found it beautiful but never liked living there... Hungary is cool, and I ve had a great time here, thanks to the situation, I met many nice people and been enjoying the small but lovely Szeged.
Oh btw, it must have been a special representation if there was a guy hanging from the Juliet's balcony... Many people dont like the place much tho, they are disillusioned cos it's too small and too packed with people. Lol sometimes in the bit of the street in front of it there are so many people that you can't pass, it's highly annoying if you're rushing to get the bus or something. :D
And what's a bubbler? Lol the place sucks when it s too hot :(

Oh there was an Australian girl here in Szeged, she had been here one year to learn Hungarian cos her mum is Hungarian.

And i've been babbling too much now.

[durbin]

Hi,

I'm from Turkey, Istanbul. I've been in Prag and loved the city Jay:) And also liked New York, Bali, Barcelona, Berlin, Köln... I love travelling and there are so many countries that I would like too see.

[Molko]

:) Miss Darcy I'm from S.A. but I have been to Queensland for a holiday once. Its very nice; very tropical. Sydney's nice too, but a bit too busy and 'fast-paced' for me, lol

[Miss Darcy]

:) Miss Darcy I'm from S.A. but I have been to Queensland for a holiday once. Its very nice; very tropical. Sydney's nice too, but a bit too busy and 'fast-paced' for me, lol

I'm afraid Queensland has been getting less and less tropical and more and more dry; we had severe droughts a for a long time (or at least in my area - the Gold Coast - we were restricted to watering with buckets, no hoses, no sprinklers at one point)...and the rainforest up in the mountains wasn't so wet and lush as usual, either. But it's a lot better now, though we still could have some more rain. It's still tolerable, though. The grass is green...though it WAS greener. :)

I have relatives in S.A.! Lol have been there too...it was ages ago, though, and I can hardly remember it.

As to Sydney, lol I guess you're right about "fast-paced", well at least if you live in the centre. But in the suburbs, where we've been looking around for houses, it's a lot nicer and even peaceful. You wouldn't believe it, but in Turramurra and Beecroft especially they have actual bush! You know, trees and trees and trees, sort of like over here. :) I've lived in QLD (almost) all my life (the rest was spent in travelling :D), but my parents lived in Sydney before I was born. I wonder what it's like, living in the city...

But enough babbling! I like babbling, but well, I can, like Anne Shirley, prove that it actually is possible for me to keep quiet for a time....though I warn you, it won't be long! ;)

Miss Darcy

P.S. Whereabouts in S.A.?

[Rain_liu]

I am from China.

[Miss Darcy]

I've been there! Saudi Arabia, that is...lol it was only on a flight stop, but I really loved the airport. With its honeycomb designs....(I think it was Saudi Arabia! Yes, I'm pretty sure. It was a long time ago, though. I just can't remember the name of the city...)

[Rain_liu]

Coool!....I've always wanted to go there! About the closest I ever got was Singapore. What's it like?

[Assyra]

Istanbul, Turkey
has anyone ever been here?

[kilted exile]

I have been to Turkey, however, I did not visit Istanbul. I went to Marmaris (think thats what it was called) one summer, and got to see Pammukale which was spectacular. Overall though it was far too warm for me.

[Assyra]

Pamukkale (this is the right one :) ) is great, i think everyone should visit Istanbul when they come to Turkey. also, Marmaris is nice, too. it is one of my favorite places in Turkey.

[Snukes]

I was going to work in Sagalassos this summer, but it turns out they don't want me. :p I may visit my friend (whom they did want, the bastards) and make her take me to Istanbul. I'd really like to visit.
