Just thought that this might bring a few of the Wilders members to venture a tentative Post on this wonderful Site.

Come on, don't be shy, you must all live somewhere LOL.

Hopefully they will all vote and reply here, Jooske. We have 6000 members. Wouldn't it be great to have 6000 replies on this thread, all saying where they are from? 8)

For the moment: the Netherlands

[nokaoi]

You didn't even make my locale an option!
Closest geographical option you gave is 'bout 3500 miles away. Who is in charge of geography here? :-[

[LowWaterMark]

I'm sorry nokaoi! :(

I thought the major continents would be enough. Unfortunately, the polls in this forum software only allow 8 options, so there weren't a lot of other choices available.

Where are you from?


Edit: Okay, made a change to the options. Unfortunately, that's the limit of what can be put into a poll here. :-\

[Nick]

I'm in Seattle, Washington. So I'm just a few minutes drive from Redmond and Microsoft. Actually, I was in Redmond today and drove right by Microsoft. A Microsoft Hummer H2 was pulling out of one of the buildings onto the road I was driving on. Exactly why they need a Hummer is beyond me, but it's your Windows dollars at work :)

Errrrrr! Correct me if I'm wrong here Folks but isn't a Poll where you vote for or against something????

I can't quite grasp were a Poll comes in to this Thread.

I just thought it would be interesting to have a reasonable idea where we all are.

I put Lincolnshire England, I mean to say, "Netherlands" doesn't really do it does it? I might as well have said Europe which could be anywhere, right.

Like dear old Spike Milligan said "Everybody's got to be somewhere" LOL. So lets hear it from you Wild People.

No excuses, Regards, Cochise. 8)

[Pieter_Arntz]

Lincolnshire: 2,274 square miles
Netherlands: 13,104 square miles
Texas: 268,601 square miles

A poll is just a medium to keep count, nothing to vote for or against in this one.

I just moved to a small place in California called Live Oak. It's a stop over until we can get our house built up in the forest, in Berry Creek. Had been living in Diamond Springs for over 20 years before moving here. Loved it there! Moved in with my husband and he lives in Live Oak :-\, but one day we will have our beautiful home up in the forest. :)

You are correct peaches the all blacks are a new zealand team . Its just that they are playing in australia as that is where the world cup is being held at present. :)

Another team may take the cup, but they shall realise all too quickly, they are only the cup polishers, not the cup owners, for this title remains for the the powerhouse All Blacks ;D

I can't rely on our Footy team they're too busy combing their hair and putting on make-up. And kicking or heading the ball might bring on the vapours or worse they could break a nail or something. (A bunch of big girls blouses).

Xmas is fast disapperaing from Parliament and soon to be scrapped is Easter another Christian Festival. It was once good to be "Cool Britannia" but now me and so many others like me who are proud to be English are not allowed to express how patriotic they are anymore. The country is going politically crazy. :'( God save the Queen ;)

You have a right to be proud of your nationality and to be a patriotic Englishman. I have English ancestry and I am very proud of my English heritage. I saw the Rugby match on TV and thought it was a very exciting game and finish.
