Where do you come from?

[Tony_Iommi]

Folks, I don't wanna be nitty-gritty here, but cut the shit out, please. Believe it or not, every now and then we have mates from abroad peaking in to see where everybody else is coming from. Probably just out of curiosity, but that doesn't matter. And your recent gibberish ain't helpful. Thanks.

Zitat von Francis54

I've been living in Lorraine (Lothringen) for 11 years, now I'm in Nancy. Before that I've been living for 29 years (!) in Strasbourg (Strassburg), at the german border!

Which "border"?
We're "one Europe"!

...I don't know where "I come from"....but at the moment, I live in Delmenhorst (near Hude, far away from Austria)...

Greetz to the "mates from abroad"...

That's what I'm talkin' about, Peter!

Let me take you up on that (not only you, Peter, I do appreciate your contribution, but anybody else out there who feels comfortable sharing more than just sharing what kind of rubber they recently got on their forehand).

Supposedly allegedly, a good number of highly educated colleagues - last but not least, you yourself - swarm around here - therefore, I'd expect them stepping up to the plate and getting the thing rolling here. I'd be more than happy to take over the role as a moderator, but I definitely need some folks who are capable pullling in off, as apparently, my command of English is rather limited.

In other words, it's all yours - therefore, rock on!

In this forum are people from different countries. I`ve seen USA, Sweden, Belarus, CZ, Austria.

Are there also people from other countries?

Where do you come from?

I come from Japan, Saitama, about 30 km to Tokyo, not far away (about 70 km) to Chiba, where the World Championships 1991 took place.

Maybe you know Saitama since 2002 (stadium2002). During FIFA World Championships there had been some matches in our city: Cameroon - Saudi Arabia, England - Sweden, Japan - Belgium and Brazil - Turkey.

Or maybe you know the club in Nihon Pro Soccer League (J. League) Urawa Reds! It is also in our area!

Like you see, my english is not so bad. I love learning languages, I also speak a little bit french and I am learning german, so I like also this discussion forum, because I can improve my skills.

ITALY

From you favourite food country!

Everybody loves italian food, isn't it!?

[Schrecken der Nation]

Yes.

But while thinking about it I did not recognize any other fact which says something positive about Italy.
