That's okay. I guess this is sort of like a big empty room where everyone comes in, mingle, and do a little small talk until someone hits on a subject.

What part of the country are you in? I think you already know where I'm at.

Dublin, Ireland. *Cue swelling of national anthem music*

Actually, I'm fairly cluless on yourself? I thought you were British?

Me? British? What gave you that impression? Well, depending on how you look at it, I guess I was a British citizen once.

Way to be cryptic. Please explain? ARE you Irish? and what does "A British citizen once" mean? My curiosity's roused....

P.S. Why isn't there a sticking out tongue smiley? One of the most essential smiley's there is!

Let me see if I can make a riddle of it.

I was born on British soil, but it's British soil no more.

I am now on soil where the British Union Jack flies high, but it's not over British soil.

So can you guess where I was born and where I am now?

As for tongue, you mean this?

Born on British soil.... well, you could be really really really old, and have been born before the war of independance, OR uhm... you could have been born in one of the old colonies... Or... something else.

Maybe Australia?

put me outta my misery here.

I hate riddles


Yeah! That thing! I wanna do that thing. :p :P

Okay, I'll take a stab at this.

You were born in Hong Kong. That's the easy part. It's the flags that get me.

If the Union Jack flies, it might be an embassy, but I thought that was technically Bristish soil anyway. So, it's not diplomatic. Your family could just fly the flag anyway. Or you live on a boat (no soil there )

That's my two-cents worth. (that is 1 cent US)

I'm with Tieka on the Hong Kong thing. The only place I can think of where the Union Jack flies high over non-British soil in the US is the United Nations, so I'm going with New York for present location.

Wait a minute! When I post this at 02:30-ish CDT on 6/1/02, the time stamp shows up as 21:30-ish 5/31/02. That's ... oh. You're using GMT, like all sane geeks. Hmm. No hint there. I stick with New York.

Got the first one correct. Hong Kong was a British colony until it's handover back to The People's Republic of China in 1997. Though, from what I've heard, very little has changed since the return. China really doesn't want to mess around with their cash cow too much.

Not surprisingly English (and Cantonese) continues to be the official languages of Hong Kong, though most Hong Kongners I've met all speak with an Australian accent.

As for where I currently live, shouldn't be that difficult to figure out. In addition to the Union Jack on our state flag. Our local law is based, in part, on old English common law, not to mention that we were once ruled by our own monarchy as requested by King George IV.

The royal palace is only a 10 minute drive from my house. You can't say that anywhere else in the US.

Go raibh míle maith agat. Sure, it's better than it was for the entire country at the moment. There's still idiots around who can't see past a caravan, but in general it's all right. There's a halting site down the road from us, where the O'Connel's stop from time to time. Lovely people. They helped us find our dog
Do Y'all still travel, or have you settled?

Hong Kong! Duh. I feel stupid now.

I'm in San Diego, California, although I will be relocating to Arizona in a few months because it's cheaper to live there.

Huh. I married an O'Connel(l) lass here in the States. They spelt it with two l's, though. Probably cousins, of one degree or another.

We travelled full time until the mid-80's. Now we're about half-settled. We own a KOA campground franchise in Minnesota that is closed during the snowy months. During that time, we skitter about, a bit.

Actually, Tammy, we get down to Arizona fairly frequently. You'll like it, most likely, once you get used to the heat

Tammy, I *love* Arizona. It's a very nice place, especially the climate (I'm a fan of the nice, dry heat). Where are you moving over there, if you don't mind my asking?

While we're on the topic, I just recently moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida (well... Coral Springs, a suburb). I hate it here... I moved from Ohio, which I also hated, but at least the seasons change there! It's so very monotonous living in FL. (For the record, I've also lived in Utah, New Mexico, South Carolina, Michigan, Ohio, and finally... hell--no, wait--Florida.

Someone has done a lot of travelling.

I've lived in two states. Wyoming (winter, spring, fall, and winter for seasons) then moved to Colorado. (all four seasons!). Now I'm living in Canada. (Curling, hockey, mosquitos are the only seasons).

I like living in stable areas. No toronado's, hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods only every decade or so.

Damn! Caught... it's true, to me, Mike Myers is as unto a god (or at least I almost pee my pants once in every movie I've seen him in). But you realize that by picking up on such a weird little reference, you've proven yourself to be a bit of a fan as well...

Well, with the exception of the Chicago thing, I'd have to say I'm right there with you, buddy. Procrastination might be what I'm best at... ;)

Yes, Canada is well known for it's two seasons.

As a fellow Canadian, I must say I like meeting other Canadians on these boards. It certainly is a small World.

Well, truth be told it was a mixture of the "Zang!" and the "She stole my heart and my cat" under your name. I absolutely love the movie So I Married An Ax Murderer, and not only do I love the Wyane's World movies and sketches- but I used to live in the town they take place in (but the town looked nothing like what was shown in the movies, the only thing from the town was a logo on a bench).
