Another Englander here. From the best part of course - Newcastle!

Gave up my British passport several years ago but you'll always find me backing the poms in every sport! Sucker!

i'm the only one in our family that is Australian, the rest are all poms....

I was wondering how long it would take you to notice this section.

Posted: **Sun Jan 23, 2005 3:29 pm**

So the question needs to be asked, how many people are in the closet :?:

Cheerio,

Posted: **Sun Jan 23, 2005 3:44 pm**

I would have come out of the closet earlier, but I'm having a lot of trouble identifying with the name of this section...

I'm Welsh - and definitely not English... :evil:

I'm not a POM but rather an ENGLISH GENTLEMAN. came from Notts in 1956,

Had little difficulty deciding which side to barrack for in the Rugby World Cup.

Did you know, the D70 was developed in the mother country. Thats England for you Colonial Republican Revolutionists.

I do hold an Australian passport though.

In this country when people come out of the closet ity generally means something entirely different.
:lol:

I' ve been actively English for the past 27 years.

When I told my friends they were shocked but now they have accepted it.

Sussex born and bred myself.

Posted: **Sun Jan 23, 2005 6:53 pm**

I come from the Rhondda Valley, but I spent a lot of my youth in Norfolk. Perhaps that why I like Leek & Potato soup.

I am now throughly naturalised now though. Love it when the poms get beaten in anything and follow Essendon in the AFL.

Welcome takai - were you a student in Bristol or just enjoying the west country air?

Posted: **Sun Feb 13, 2005 12:53 am**

I'm a brit and proud. Born and bred in Hampshire. Just actually got back from a 9week trip to France and the UK.
Went to Whitby in North Yorkshire, very nice. Went to Great Ayrton which is just above North Yorkshire. Also went to the Peak District and Ladram Bay in Devon.

Depends what you want to shoot. So many things to be taking photos of there. Architectural structures, landscapes etc.

Devon, Cornwall, Dorset, Yorkshire, Wales, Peak and Lake District are some nice places to go. Don't need specifics, just get in a car and drive. You'll bound to find something pretty to take photos of.

But I do agree with Matt. If I believed i reincarnation, I think lesbian would be a good option. Not Dykes on bikes mind you, more like Portia De Rossi style. Sorry about the spelling but all my info is from brief peeks at my wife's womens magazines.

Reincarnation? Come back as a lesbian? Not for me!! I'm coming back as the vaulting box in a girls' school gym.

If I'm lucky, I guess.

Careful, there.

Me, born half way between Southhampton and Portsmouth about 5min from Gosport.

Kipper, I was born just near the Scottish border but grew up in Gosport and Portsmouth before migrating out to Oz.

Born in Dartford

not to be confused with Dartmoor the home of other nutters :shock:

Raised in Richmond, Surry just up the road from the haunt of the early Rolling Stones, two of which lived about four houses away

much to the disgust of my mother (dirty, lazy heathens

)

40yrs later, still smiling like the cat who got the cream and thanking my father for his wise decision to bring us to the colonies.

Still.......... Brentford, Derby County to win something sometime PPPPPLLLLLEEEEAAAAAAASSSSSEEEE :roll:

Terry - I lived in Dartford and went to school there - the same school as Mick Jagger. In Dartford from about 1948 thro 1956. My father (who was disabled) was a night watchman at the Wells fireworks factory and was not on duty the night of the big flood in 1953 which killed the relief watchman!

We then moved to ”Only Fools and Horses” country and then onto Shaftesbury Avenue in London

6 degrees of separation :wink:

Living in the US, but hail from the Midlands of England loike, where I'm got the nasty habit of supporting Birmingham City. The surgeons tell me it can't be removed. :oops:

Moved to Wales, learnt the language, and now run photo tours from a little town in Idaho.

While we are speaking of England, and in case anyone from the closet hadn't heard - You lost the Ashes (a cricket trophy!) - and in doing so, achieved the following:

1. The shortest period of time to hold onto the Ashes.
2. The highest declared innings to then lose the match (in an Ashes series).
3. The second highest declared innings to then lose the match (in all test matches).
4. Allow the second fastest test hundred to be scored.
5. Achieved the 7th highest individual innings score in a losing side (P Collingwood at Adelaide).
6. UNOFFICIALLY: the widest wide bowled in a test match (1st ball at Brisbane).

(I was a sore loser last year, and arguably a sore winner this year :lol:
