Let’s see here…Born and bred in the Netherlands, currently living in the US but am about to start a new job in Heidelberg, Germany
Live in London, England (not actually the lovely Claxby Pluckacre, which is a gen-u-ine place in Lincolnshire).
Born in the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea in the very hospital - St Mary Abbot’s - where, not 11 short years later, Jimi Hendrix was pronounced dead (pronounced “dead”).
But parentage 100% Irish; they came over in 1956 with my older sister in tow.
Finland, Finland, Finland, the country where I want to be… and am. There were others, but I don’t recall seeing any around lately.
English
lived various places but now in Argentina, don’t know of any other dopers in the
southern cone.
Finland! It’s like Canada run by smarter people!
Mexican in Mexico City.
I don’t know any other dopers from Mexico; but that’s all right I don’t know any from anywhere else either.
And unlike Canada, they all speak English in Finland (along with Finnish, Swedish, and a few other languages).
Add one more Canadian. I bounce around the country though. Right now I am in Sounthern Ontario in September, back to Alberta.
Swede in Sweden. There are at least two more of us, Charlie Tan and someone whose name escapes me at the moment. Iteki lives in Sweden but is Irish by birth, but then again I don’t remember seeing her around lately so she might have left us.
I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien, I’m an Englishman in Santa Clara
Just a heads-up to readers who have yet to post: if/when we get 50 non-USA unique posters to this thread, I’ll post a summary by country. That ought to provide some thumbnail clues as to where the concentrations of non-USA Dopers are. If/when we make it to 100 unique responders, that should be an even better sampling.
The point: to be counted, please reply.
I’m a legal alien too, an Australian with a green card, so I’m not sure if I count in this thread.
Another Canadian here, from Saskatchewan. I think there are at least a couple other Sask people posting here. Also I think we all have Stones tickets
Another Canadian here, of the Ottawa variety.
There was a map at some stage, a helpful poster put it together. A google map IIRC.
It stemed from a very large thread. Can’t remember any more though.
Englishman in England, 90 miles N of London.
If I remember correctly, Gorillaman is in Ipswich (South East England) and Lobsang. is on the Isle of Man (between England and Ireland).
I was working for British Telecom decades ago when the future telephone exchange installation equipment requirements went crazy. That turned out to be Milton Keynes…
I’m in Canada, but I can see the States from here, about 17 miles away.
There are at least two other Vancouver Island dopers, and a gaggle (throng?) in teh greater Vancouver area. Dang Easterners.
I know we have a decent number of Montrealers, a few from Western Canada (featherlou and Larry Mudd among others), a small Mexican contigent, at least two from Tel Aviv, and of course Paul in Saudi in Saudi as well as the still-sizeable UK/Australia group, plus Nava in Spain and clairobscur in Paris. We also have an American flodnak in Oslo, Norway. MostlyClueless, Maastricht, gum and Coldfire are all from the Netherlands IIRC. We also have Swedes, Finns and Danes, some of whom got into a heated argument here about Sweden recently.
I myself am from the United States, but I speak Spanish, live two hours from the Mexican border, and watch soccer and Australian football. Does that count?
You have stated in no-uncertain-terms something I have begun to appreciate: Canadian Dopers (in many cases) are geographically closer to “home base” (Chicago) than many USA Dopers. Certainly those further south than me. I have read or heard that some huge percentage of Canadians live less than 100 (maybe it’s 200) miles from the USA/Canada border. Once you drop below the 100-200 mile range from Chicago, that puts us Southerners and Southwesterners further away.
Just had to verbalize this.
Put me down as another MK resident.
