Where's everybody from? Post where you live and maybe when others are in town or realize they live near you, you'll make a new friend.
I live in the Carrboro / Chapel Hill area, for instance:

Are you sure it's a good idea to be so specific about your location?
Me, just over an hour's drive from Toulouse.
Posted by: stevestory on May 20 2008,03:48
Be as specific or vague as you feel like. I would advise the women to be more vague, on the general principle that women are more prone to being stalked. Myself, I don't feel any threat. I'm a 6'0, 220 lb male triathlete, with no ostentatious jewelry. I really doubt anything bad's going to happen to me as a result of this. But of course, your mileage may vary, and you shouldn't post any identifiers which make you uncomfortable. This thread's there if you think it is useful to you, if you have any concerns, by all means, don't participate. Nobody's going to think less of you.

London.
Or rather, London-ish. Greater London-ish. Although getting to central London from where I live now is easier, cheaper and quicker than when I lived in London proper. Go figure.* The trains even run later so no night bus, yay! London nightbus journeys are an anthropological/sociological, hell even taxonomic, experiment every time. "Care in the Community"? Knackers. Care on the Nightbus/Northern line more like.
Echos PTET's statements about size (and exhorbitant cost) of flat.
I have no need for new friends but I am always pleased to make new friends. If you understand what I mean.
Caution: Meeting me does occasionally involve inadvisable drinking. Mainly on my part, but I like to encourage drinking in others. It's more sociable that way.
Louis
*When I was working in Kent (East UK) and my wife (then girlfriend) was working in the very west bit of the west country we worked out it was easier, cheaper and quicker to meet in Paris every two weeks than meet at one of our domiciles every week. (Think: standard UK trains vs Eurostar). We, sadly, worked this out towards the end of this period of long distance relationshipping.

They are shining example of either the fallen nature of man, or our primitive reptilian ancestry, according to your point of view...
You've also reminded me of the Glasgow night buses. More culturally homogenous, and more mental... But at least there's an outside chance of a sing-a-long. In general, strangers in London will not talk to you. Strangers in Glasgow talk to you all the time... It's just that they are often scarily nuts.

Leafy South East London, but I work in central London near Covent Garden, which is not at all a bad place to work.
Would be very happy to meet any AtBCers for a drink, although I might be being good as I commute by large motorcycle. Well, I'd look silly on a unicycle.

I never boast. If anything I understate! I have a.....{dunh dunh duhhhhhhhhhh} Past*. Believe me, it deserves the capital letter.
Sadly**, this means I shall never be able to hold political office. FAR too many very intoxicated skeletons.
Louis
*I am now a reformed character. Honest. Well almost reformed. Although anyone interested in working on a Present should meet me by the bar!
**Although whom this is sad for is perhaps a moot point since I have no wish to enter politics, and no one in their right mind would vote for me anyway. Mind you, that alone probably qualifies me for office since those people who want to be in politics are those people who should be excluded, and let's be honest most voters are not in their right mind. Hmmmmm. Worrying.

Hello e1! Nice idea for a post. Myself, I currently reside in cheeseheadland, a.k.a. Wisconsin. Oak Lair (not it's real name) to be precise. I'm originally from Minnesota, but I've lived all over the USA and been overseas to England, Scotland, Wales, and Holland.
I have a very nice tavern that I frequent, about a block away. Wisconsin is known for its beer(s).
I thought London was a lot of fun when I was there. I went to the Tower and also went on Rumbelow's Jack the Ripper walk on the east end. I stayed in the Belgravia area, near Vic Station.
I'm a castle nut and I visited more than 2 dozen of them in the month I was overseas.
Anyways, again, fun post & good subject.

My wife and kids and I had really lovely sketches of each of us done in Leicester Square two summers ago.
The artist was even kind enough to shave a few years off my wife and me.
We also did a meet up with some of the guys from Science, Just Science at the Moon Under Water and grabbed some grub with them next door.

I'm just outside < Jacksonville, NC >.
Steve, I'd catch up with you and Wesley tonight, but I just spent four hours on my feet proctoring for the End Of Grade exams at the middle school. It's the most I've been on my feet continuously since I wrecked my neck, and I'm just not up to traveling today.

The "guns dogs etc" was a reference to our friend Monsieur David "Tard" Scott Springer of UD fame and the fun Blipey has had with trying to pay the chap a visit. For the record, there's nothing wrong with Inuit women, it was yet another DaveTard reference.
Not being tres sportif is not a problem, if I am ever in the south of the world's greatest nation (that would be France of course) I shall look you up...via PM of course.
Internet dating? You have an ENTIRELY erroneous opinion of what I was suggesting!

P.S. Rugby a treize? Blighters, bounders, cads, and possibly foreigners the lot of them. A gentleman should have no such truck with such tomfoolery! Harrumph.

I'll be in London at the end of August for a science blogging meetingpiss-up. I'll also be in Scotland this summer, but not at the same time as Albatrossity (I have my agents).
Alan, I should apologise for poor Louis. He's a southerner, so prefers the poncy version of the game, where the players spend half their time either standing around waiting for someone to do something, or piled up in a heap, waiting for same. At least in League they have to trot up and down, keeping warm.

It's a fine place to visit*, but, if you're trying to hold down (and travel to and from) a job, the art-and-culture aspects take a very distant second place to the toxic-hellhole-with-collapsing-infrastructure aspects.

Hey, I've been to Tasmania. In fact, twas there that my wife and I found out she was pregnant with our now 4 year old. We were staying at a B&B on the Freycinet Peninsula at the time. Beautiful place. In a mere three days on the island we saw an echidna, a platypus, and two black tiger snakes in the wild, plus a very large number of quolls and such, as they roamed the highway at night looking for roadkill, and often becoming it.
As for me, I am another who lives in the San Francisco Bay area, though I am originally from southern California.

That sir, is cause to celebrate.
I've never really thought of Inauguration Day as a holiday, but there'll be one hell of a party at the FCD household on the one upcoming. (Assuming he doesn't pull some "Emergency Martial Law" coup or something...)
January 20, 2009 ought to go down in history as a holiday just behind July 4, 1776.
Also, in honor of said celebration, His Holiness, The Glorified Houseplant Who Would Be Caesar and his entire top staff should be presented with the honorary steel bracelets and anklets before leaving the platform. He should then be taken to the defendant's table in the nearest federal courthouse to receive his just desserts, and then escorted to a further celebration in the Netherlands where the rest of the world can join in the fun.
That would make for a very happy May Day Birthday next year.

Regina - the place where you can look out of your living room window and watch your dog run away from home - for three days.
Actually, from the times I've spent a few hours there it did not seem a bad place although it's getting the sprawl of big box stores that is common to all North American cities.
P.S. It used to be called Pile O'Bones from the heaps of bison bones but as a PR gesture it was renamed after Queen Victoria in the 1880s.

Yeah Tassie is great for wildlife and really quite beautiful. It's just a touch too quiet... even when you live in the damn capital.
I should have said I'm originally from the UK, I've been living in Tassie for over two years now. Previous 16 years were spent near Haywards Heath. Childhood spent in Gloucestershire and South Wales.
Nearly stepped on a Tiger snake back in February. Boy was the snake unhappy. Yes indeed. I've seen plenty of echidnas here but rarely see platypus. Echidnas are very cool but are equipped with weird genitalia. Check out < this page > and click on photos... if you're interested.
