On the old forum we had a member called "Penguinni" - a looooonnnggg time ago though.

Are you still with us under a different name?

Me - "Yorkshire born & Yorkshire bred, strong in the arm but weak in the head" as the rhyme goes.

Do you know the the definition of a Yorkshire man?

He's a Scotsman with the generousity squeezed out of him.

I can get away with that one Chris as i'm from leeds also.

I bought my CD50 from him - thouroughy nice chap! He actually ended up refunding my money and giving it to me for nothing as it arrived with the tray door flapping loose at one side. I tried to give the money back once I'd repaired it but he wouldn't hear of it. I couldn't believe it

Its still playing like a dream and gets regular use.

2 in Antarctica?  What?

 

1 in Afghanistan?  What?  They have electricity?

Do you think this funny ? What do expect from a country which is occupied by XY ? 

Now now, keep it nice, lads!

I'm from Eastbourne, too, which must be winning as "town with the most members" so far

London and New York are CITIES, before anyone gets cocky!!!

Thanks for the coordinates Coolskin. I know where you are really well as I am often in Holland golfing and gambling (my other passion) with my best friend. We come over for a week at a time frequently to play at the Holland Casinos. Our last visit, just a few weeks ago, covered Breda, Utrecht, Rotterdam, Amsterdam and Den Haag. We usually stay in the Carlton President Hotel in Utrecht as this is right next to the motorway and a good central location to drive to most of the surrounding casinos. Breda is the furthest away so we would normally do that on the drive up. Don't know if you're a gambling man yourself but if you are, have you played the recently introduced Mega Millions Jackpot slots yet? We were playing at Amsterdam in August on the same day a lucky player hit the €1.123.790 jackpot...

It was a very exciting day as you can imagine. I have often popped into the B&O dealership accross the road. We love coming to Holland, some of the architecture you pass through (and under) as you drive to Amsterdam and/or Den Haag is amazing. I also love the attention to detail the cycle paths have such as the good quality tarmac, excellent lighting and signposts used. The government obviously cares a lot about the transportation infrastructure and invests a lot in it. This is a wonderful thing and it shows. Holland is a very pretty country and the Dutch people are so friendly too. We really do love coming over.

.. and when a Yorkshireman drops a pound coin it hits him on the back of the head..

Yes, the old ones are the best!

It seems we are 2 people from Reunion, but who is the second person? I have no idea! How strange is Internet sometimes, I can chat with Lee & Peter but not with someone who's on the same island! Modern communication...

I imagine the residents in Antarctica are with the scientific surveys there. Somewhere I would love to visit.

Andorra – 1, Bahamas – 1, Bahrain – 1, Belarus – 1, Bermuda – 1, Bolivia – 1, Chile – 1, Ecuador – 1, Ghana – 1, Gibraltar – 1, Honduras – 1, Kazakhstan – 1, Kenya – 1, Kuwait – 1, Lebanon – 1, Lithuania- 1, Mauritius – 1, Morocco – 1, Mozambique – 1, Oman – 1, Malaysia – 1, Saudi Arabia – 1, Seychelles – 1, Slovakia – 1, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands – 1, Uruguay – 1, Virgin Islands (US) – 1, Zambia - 1.

I've had a think about this and its not quite as impressive as it first appears!

If you look carefully at the locations with only a single member it becomes clear that they can all be plotted on a Great Circle around the earth. Having made this discovery the answer is laughingly easy - they are all actually the same person - Micheal Palin!

Simple! - ask me another

Love this thread, and it is indeed amazing and quite gratifying to see where everyone's from. I'll put in my two cents: I was born in Bombay, India, moved to the States when I was a child of four years (to New York City), now living and working in Indianapolis, USA.

My father loves B & O but mother rules the roost, so the only thing(s) they have of B & O are a full set of Beocom 6000s (which Mom likes as well, and asked for! imagine that) that I bought as a gift for them for their flat in NYC.

Well 12 from South Africa.....could have fooled me! They must all be in hiding.

One bottle of champagne for the first member from the Easter Island...

No. That's actually classed as cheating.  

I do wonder if their Chickens lay 'Easter Eggs' though..
