Well raised in London, now lived in Cambridgeshire for 2 years but born in Ireland.... A fact? Even though the i.r.a is seen as a disorganised terrorist organisation they actually had enough financial and military backing to defeat most armies in the world

Lived in... Germany, the UK (England and Scotland, well and Yorkshire.. ) Currently in the US. Don't know where I'll be next, although I think it's time to be an ex-pat again for a while

I was born in South Africa, but I've lived in the UK since I was six months old, and consider myself a Brit. That said, I DO have mixed loyalties sometimes - usually during the rugby or cricket!!

Have we ever considered how much of a REAL United Nations we are as a dedicated Mac forum? Sharing ideas, providing help, etc, etc. I wish more contributors would put the home or adopted country in their signature, it's not hard to do. A database of countries represented on this and other Mac forums would make interesting reading. The great majority I'm sure would be from USA, the home of Apple/Mac.

I am from Britain (born in Glasgow) and now live in Japan. On the Irn Bru, I haven't seen it in over 3 years. I will be going to a Scottish festival (yeah they exist) and I will go there and buy a case of Irn-Bru and go home. I can't wait to have sugar and orange in me again.

Interesting - also, I used to work the doors of a nightclub that was the former birthplace of James Connolly who I think in some sort of way is credited as one of the founders of the IRA. In fact, on the door itself I'd be stood less than three feet from a memorial plaque dedicated to him. Just back from a trip to Ireland for the first time last weekend actually... loved it! Was visiting my girlfriend who's from Oola, Co. Limerick
LOL was out drinking lastnight and have had my morning after the night before dose of IrnBru already... don't get hangovers anyway but friends insist its the perfect cure for them! Would love to visit/live in Japan one day.

that is SO cool.
but come to think of it, Brazilian Portuguese is so hard it's equivalent to three languages.
I'd love to be somewhere where both German and French are official languages (even though I know nothing in German, oh, the shame!).

I couldn't agree more. Being a Canadian, we have our habits, and we're determined to make them known to the world.

Your hearing is excellent!
Most of us try to be nice at some stage or another. Like Jodester, I live a stone's throw from the sea. Akaroa (means Long Harbour), which is 25 km away, is a very popular tourist spot. Lots of overseas visitors from Jan - April.I'm happy to be a born/bred NZ'er, but I've also lived in Borneo and the Cook Is. I'd like to visit southern Ireland (Firmoy) and northern Wales (Holywell/Mold), from where my respective grandparents emigrated to NZ.
