Wheres everyone from ?

I'm from Columbia, South Carolina ......somewhere down south . :bandit:

I was born in Flushing, lived in Whitestone for about 3.5 years, now I live on LI in a little town called Sea Cliff.

Hey! I'm Up North opposed to down south. Actually I'm in Ottawa, or exactly a suburb called Nepean which is like Ottawa essentially. It's in Canada for those who don't know and I'm slowly getting wrmaer up here. There's still lots of snow on my lawn and I can still go snowboarding. :)

UK, England, Devon nearish to Plymouth (shit hole)

The quicker I get to America the better.

hey! Your by Devon? I heard that was one of the worst places hit by Foot and Mouth. That sucks man.:devil:

I'm from New Brunswick, Canada, in a small upper-middle class town called Quispamsis. It's a suburb of Saint John, NB's biggest town. New Brunswick borders with Maine on the east coast.

I'm in Tigard, Oregon USA. It's a suburb of Portland, Oregons biggest town, about 600K people in Portland. So not that big compared to most large citys.

Tigard is right next to it, shares borders. Any one else near here?

Thats true, but as I'm not a farmer I don't really care :P

You're from the UK, maybe you can help me here...

My preferred reading is magazines imported from Britain (particularly "evo" and to a smaller extent "Car"). There are some things I read in them that I have no clue what they are talking about...I think it's just cultural differences. So, I ask three things of you:

1. Define "bespoke"
2. What is "Alcantara?" Is it the same as suede?
3. Differentiate between A-roads, B-roads, etc.

This would be greatly appreciated.
:licker:

Well, I guess your lucky, but what if you eat the infected meat or something? Also aren't like all of you cattle being slaughtered? That's gotta suck.

Heep:

1. I just looked up 'bespoke' cause I'd never heard it. It is used to describe clothes made to suit someones requirements. But it can also be used to describe other things made to suit a persons needs.

2. Never heard this word and it ain't in the dictionary...

3. 'A' roads are the main roads, 'B' roads are the smaller roads. I guess you could say the 'A' roads are the main links between places and the 'B' roads are just the smaller roads that branch off to places. Motorways are freeways.

Porsche: You can't get Foot and Mouth from eating animals, and its harmless to humans anyway. (unlike BSE :silly: )

I haven't seen any burning animals. The only way its effected me is by being on the damn TV all the time, and the places I walk my dog are closed off. (despite being nowhere near where animals are kept:confused: )

I don;t really know a whole lot about it as you can tell, I just thought it was highly contagious to anyone. I know Mad Cow is though.

I am from Ontario, Canada

monroe ct usa here. home of the "happy" happy meal :smoker2:

bellaracing, what part of Ontario are you from?

I'm living in Zurich/Switzerland( not Sweeden or Austria. Swiss are those with the cows, chees and chocolate:D)

:licker:

Alcantara is a kind of leather relativly expensive. Oftenused for lounges or car seats:bandit:

I'm from Korea but I was adopted. So I live in Mississippi

PORSCHE

I didn't really want to say what part in case I get a few stalkers *lol*
I am from Hamilton, Ontario

Eugene, Oregon. I'm living in the dorms, and going to the U of O.

I'm from Yakima, Washington. It sucks ass here because it's too small and boring.

Too small? The town I live in is 1 square mile. 1! :eek: :D

Thats small. My village is bigger than that...

LOL...blink and you miss it.

Thanks Bean, I've been wondering that for a while. I saw a MK2 Golf in one of my Golf mags that had Recaro's custom dressed up with black leather with royal blue alcantara inserts...I thought it looked like suede, so that's what I assumed it was...

1 Square mile! That means there's like your work, your house, a conviene store and a telehone booth! even my city in Canada is better than that! Canada!

LOL. It's a nice town, right by the water. LOTS of hills and winding roads, it's great for roller blading/bike riding. There are a few shops, a fire department, some churches, and 2 schools. It really is a nice place.

Sounds like something out of a book.

LOL Porsche

My town is about 75 square miles. I love it here. I live in a valley, and to people from neighbouring Saint John we're known as valley boys/girls. Supposedly, we're snotty, but I don't see it. Better than Saint Johners, though. They're known as stupid, dirty, impatient, and selfish. :D We're just a little sterotypical here.

KV (Kennebecasis Valley) is sort of the richer suburb of Saint John. SJ is mostly apartments and businesses, KV has some darn nice houses, plus mostly middle class people. For those who live in New England and maybe Ontario, you would know the Irvings who live here. They are multi billionares that control a large gas and oil chain (Irving), make paper (Majesta brand tissues), and various other things. Everyone around the world might be familiar with the McCains, founders and owners of McCain foods. Perhaps also the Ganongs, owners of Ganong chocolates, and inventers of the chocolate bar (Palomine).

All in all, I absolutely love it here.

Porsche why do you make fun of canada so much, it's so annoying...... it's basically the same as the US, all the northern states like New York, Michigan, Maine, Philly, Washington, Providence, etc. are exactly the same...

I live in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada... It's where University of Waterloo is, it's kinda combined city with Kitchener, juss Kitchener's the ghetto part and Waterloo is the nice suburb part, heheh :) hope i'm not makin fun of anybody if they live in Kitchener
I live in Beechwood, that's the area of Waterloo I live in

I lived in Orange County, Irvine, California 5 years ago, we also lived in Palo Alto before that, then we moved here

Porsche is Canadian (I think....). I find Canadians are more willing to make fun of themselves than Americans are, though; not a bad thing...we're not stuck up. :D Sorry anybody from the US, I'm just being stereotypical again. :D

Ya, I am Canadian (No pun intended, for canadians who have seen the commercial) I do make fun of Canada but I still love it, we're respected worldwide we have no enemies and we have 9 million square miles of land. It dosen't get much better. It is too cold sometimes but that's dumb because I love Canadian winters especailly this year cause Ottawa got lots and lots of Snow. But like Heep said, I don't want to be stuck up. BTW heep, are you close to Moncton or Fredericton at all? I go through there on my way to the Maritimes every few summers, maybe I'll see you sometime. And Gang$tarr I almost lived in Irvine and ya the northern states are the same as Canada, It's the southern ones (No offense GOD and others) that I don't like California and Arizona kick ass though.

I live in Canada, actully a small town just north of Toronto. What's everybody's street races like?

Welcome to AF Volvo Boy!!!!:bandit:

well i couple days ago, here in Canada it was 22 degrees (celcius) i don't know what that is in farenheit... but that's pretty damn warm for th beginning of april

you can find me in NY

I'm an hour and a half away from Fredericton, and an hour and a half away from Moncton (not with me driving :D).

Kinda inbetween, but more to the south. Not directly in between. 15 minutes from Saint John.

I'm gonna be up in Barrie, Ontario going to college starting this September, though.

I live in the same town as heep there, I can almost see his house from my rooftop. I'm currently in Ottawa attending university, but that'll change soon. I'm outta here!

I live in Upland, CA. Right next to Ontario, CA. Sometimes I forget about the Canadian Ontario and assume you guys are in my backyard. ;)

I've been in Irvine, and I'd never want to live there. I have a great sense of direction, but I can get lost so fast there! And it's so damn hard to find a gas station when you need one! Stupid Irvine!

i loved livin in irvine..... you get to know your way around after a while.... yeah the suburbs seem to look the same after every turn, but you get used to it :D

What are you comparing the size of your villages. I live in the biggest city in Switzerland and it only has about 300k cityzens.:bandit: I think most states are bigger then whole Switzerland(ca. 500km*350km)!

The thing I liked about living in Irvine was that it wasn't that tough to spot a Bentley or Rolls-Royce..... or exotic cars.... cause there are so many loaded people up there
I thought our family was doing well, when I saw the people there I was like WHOA! :eek:

It would be pretty sweet living in Europe, when we went to Italy, I was in a convenience store and they had naked girls on the cover of MAXIM !!! I was lookin around then I see the letters Maxim, so I was like sweet, i didn't know they sold it here, then i pick it up and theres a girl with NICE naked tits on the cover

and the adds there on billboards have naked girls too..... I was in a foot locker store in rome and there was an add on the wall for reebok, it was a totally naked girl standin there, the only thing she was wearin was reebok shoes.... man I love that country :D

Well, sounds like I better get out to Italy.

Bean Bandit: My city is about 120k People but we werejust amalgamated into one big city,so I now live in Ottawa and I think we're at about 1.2 Mil That's pretty small though, Toronto is about 2.6 Million I think.

i think toronto is around 3 million right now, you might have some old sources

Vernal, Utah......hey stop laughing every one cant help what city they are born in!

Peace....
:eek:

I am from W. Palm Beach Florida.
It's too damn hot down here and I am sick of the beautiful sunny weather. lol

<><><>Vince

Man, I live in lovely Utah, land of the over populated mormons, who bother me at 9 am on a sunday afternoon, when all I want to do is sit and be lazy. :smoker2:

LOL. It's so true, there is nudity in Italy everywhere. No need for porn channels! I've been 3 times. I LOVE Venice, the most beautiful city in the world!:)

Venice California? :D
