Well, I'm in Helsinki, home of the Moon Language.  At least I am as long as I can con them into paying me a wage.  Feel free to drop by.

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.

MOOMIN SYMPATHIZER.  :angry:

About 45 minutes west of Calgary in the foothills, although I grew up about the same distance from London.

I laid the Snork Maiden but don't tell Moomintroll

London calling here too... work near Tate Modern, live in the Rose and Crown... er, White Hart, no, that's not right, er, King's Arms... tshca.... oh, yes, I remember.

Just off the Holloway Road. Within RPG range of the Emirates Stadium. And don't think I haven't had that dream. Not when there's a match on, of course: I'm only mildly in favour of the death penalty for committing or aiding football, and then only after due process.

That wasn't her.  More's the pity.  

Like most repressed chicks, she was a real goer when she was away from home.

I dumped her after I caught her with the Hemulen.

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.

I'm orginally from Minnesota too.

I recently moved to *redacted* not far from *redacted* still in good ole MN. ;) I've been to Germany, Austria, France, Jamaica, Ecuador/Galapagos, and Canada. I loved Paris. I COULD LOVE LONDON! (I want to go there in a major way, being that I was an English major and all.)

I have terrible dreams about


and

which, despite the film Fargo (some of it filmed near my former house, and including someone I know as an extra, neither of which have anything to do with Fargo), I had never heard of until moving to Minneapolis. I will never eat it again. I'd sooner eat haggis. You think I'm kidding but I'm not. :)

I like cheese, but not Wisconsin cheese (what's up with them?) except for fresh cheese curds and the sharp cheddar.

I am not Scandinavian. No, no, no. :)

Listen to what guthrie said.

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.



* I recommend King's Cross or St. Pancras stations.  That's where the trains to Yorkshire are.

I've had all I can takes and I can takes no more!

League? Not poncy? Please, it's 13 backs running up and down trying not to get tackled. All the decent league players wake up and leave for a real sport eventually anyway.

You, Sirrah, are a varlet and a blackguard! I challenge you to a duel. Handbags at dawn, your choice of patent leather or Naugahyde. May the best man win, the loser has to tongue kiss Thatcher...and I'm not saying which one.

Have at you!

Then pop over. I'm sure many London based AtBCers would be more than happy to accomodate you and buy you a small sherry for your troubles.

Of course you do know that London is not far from Oxford, so that threesome you have planned with Lally and Dicky could be on the cards.....

this is a good thread. I hope people who're finding out they live near each other are making plans to get a beer.

Also, I'm now going to do a huge vacation, where I travel sequentially to each of your places, sleeping on your couches, just for fun. Hasta la vista!

It could be worse, you could be living in Tasmania.

Think I might be the most isolated lurker here.
I wait to be proven wrong. ;)

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.

We could perhaps argue that one - North Shore of Auckland, New Zealand is where I work and play.

And yes - rugby, watching, not having played since secondary school (it hurt).
