Where do you live ?

This kind of topic may be in the backlogs of the members lounge , but I don't want to look for it.

So where does everyone live ?

I encourage everyone to vote on this , it would be nice to see what percentage of the forum comes from each of these continents.

This topic has been hijacked by the Admin to bring the following to your attention:

Traditionally the UK doesn't regard itself as "Europe"
There was a newspaper headline many years ago (before I was born even!) that went:

English Channel covered by fog: Continent cut off


which gives some idea of the British mindset. When I'm required to state my nationality on anything official I put either "English" (and a lot of forms don't have that option nowadays) or "human" - but that has been disputed :lol:

 

SO DO I!

I'm glad that I'm not the only one.

 

I don't have the specs right handy, but someone on AHF recently started a Frappr map. You could do something similar here?

It's interesting, because it's an interactive map, and each member that signs up gets a little flag at their location. It's a quick visual reference on locations.

 

Oohh Oohh!! (Jumps up and down in the air) Me too...

 

hey even the youngest (dont know if I still am) member does it to so it shows our pride hasnt gone yet

 

I go one better if I can... Cornish!

"A good sword and a trusty hand!
A merry heart and true! ...."

MY National anthem....Trelawney!

 

Not so much national pride in my case, more pointing out the stupidity of a "book-keeping census-taking mindset".
Although "Englishman" does have a certain "cachet", we have a reputation to uphold, old boy. :lol:
My reasoning is that I'm human, but if they're going to start classifying peole then it's English rather than British, since they tend to have Scots and Welsh on a lot.
Well, that and a good dose of bloody-mindedness, there's a lot of fun in finding flaws in a system that's supposedly capable of catering for all eventualities.
I had an application form once that tried to be jolly and friendly, and under the Forename/ Surname section it had "Usually known as" so that they could pretend to be on first-name terms on your first day/ at the interview. I wrote in "Highly varied and largely irrelevant. I don't care what you call me as long as you make it clear it's me you're talking to".
Strangely enough I didn't even get the interview...

 

Are you referring to google Earth ?

 

No, this is something different.

This is the URL for the map AHF uses:

http://www.frappr.com/axishistoryforum


Now, I'll see if I can't learn a little more about starting one.

Okay, I got as far as the front page of the site. Perhaps one of the admin would be better to start such a map. It looks like all you do is sign up, and start plotting!

Roel? Ricky?

 

On another website that I frequently visit we have a map of members locations which is powered by the following host... http://www.bravenet.com/

 

Yes, but I don't trust Bravenet - in my experience, you'll end up being bombarded with pop-ups, which is why I dropped them years ago.

 

Hmm... I haven't experienced that problem personally but thanks for the warning.

 

I briefly belonged to forum on bravenet, and there was a problem with pop-ups. Not insurmountable, but irritating nonetheless.

 

Our forum isn't on Bravenet. Just the map thingy. Maybe that why I haven't had problems with Pop ups. I hate the flipping things. :kill:

 

One awesome idea, Tom. Here's ours now:

Come on everyone, don't be shy!

 

I've put Simon and myself on the map.

 

Well I'm on, but it's put the marker about three miles from my exact location. Unless they've lied to me all along about where I live...

 

I don't live where the marker has put me either....I can't seem to change it, it keeps insisting I live somewhere else!

 

I find it very tricky to pinpoint the location you want , you know. Like I go up and it goes to far up , I click down and it goes to far down.
