English speaking ones please. I’m currious to poke my nose around in one. Also try to get myself a little culture vis a vis my computer laptop. Thanks for any input. ---

I think there’s one at the UK’s BBC website, [bbc.co.uk](http://bbc.co.uk) ---

[This one](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boards.ie) is pretty popular over here. Mind you, I’m not a member. I have read many threads there over the years, though, as a result of Google searches (and Google’s knowledge of my geographic location). ---

> [@GreenElf](#): > > I think there’s one at the UK’s BBC website, [bbc.co.uk](http://bbc.co.uk) If you’re going to talk news sites, trying to get as many red arrows as possible for a comment on the daily mail can be quite fun. Bonus points if you’re actually expressing your true opinion. You need to look for a story clearly designed to raise the blood pressure of bigots. Never hard to find as there are a few made every day. ---

There used to be the Non-American Doper’s Society (NADS) board but it dried up and we didn’t renew the hosting for it. ---

If you want to discuss with Russians, there’s the Pravda forum with an English language option. ---
