Where's everybody from??

I'm from the UK...

Floriduh, USA.

I think most are from US, but we have a lot of UK and Australia too I think.

**Fox** · 01-16-2005, 02:07 PM

I'm from New Jersey, USA. We do have a very large (even kind of disproportionate considering that this site is physically located in the US) number of UK'ers and Australians, not to mention other people strewn across pretty much the entire world.

If you stay here long enough you'll definitely see how interesting it is to see how people from different parts of the world differ in opinion. I know I've gotten a lot out of that.

Welcome.

Northern Kentucky, just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, OH.

Aussies? There are Aussies on here? That's it, I'm leaving.

I love our Foster's-drinking brethren!

My last job supported people for Australia and they said they don't have fosters down there either.

Don't know either about the Canadian ownership, The Victorian Bitter is quite popular in NSW and also Toohey's " NEW " . I tend to drink too much " Victorian Bitter ( VB ) or " Tooheys PILS "

**POADB** · 01-17-2005, 03:01 AM

I thought Australians preferred Castlemain(sp?) XXXX

so yeah..

looks like i'm the only UK head in here.. lol.. I guess thats why they call it Little Britian...

**jgvernonco** · 01-17-2005, 05:25 AM

Wisconsin, USA, about 4 1/2 miles from, and 1,800 feet above, the Mississippi River. Actually, I spent most of my life in Arizona, but, with all of the influx of people, that state is crashing under it's own weight, so I became an "ex-pat).

A lot of folks don't put their location in their ID. I have conversed with folks from France, The Czech Republic, Mexico and mainland China. I wouldn't have known their home unless I had those opportunities to pass some PMs.

During the last few months in Phoenix, contemplating my imminent move to rural Wisconsin, I srealized that, on a daily basis, I worked with 5 people who were all born and raised in different countries. That does not count all of the different cultural histories within the USA, itself.

So, put you locations in your profiles, please. Let's be proud that we can all come together in a place like this and have a good time.

We have others from the UK here, one should be badgering on by soon.

My moniker says NW Territory c. 1787. I majored in U.S. History. Here in the U.S., in 1787 England gave us all of the territory north and west of the Ohio river vlear up to the source of the Misssissippi river. More specifically, I live 35 miles NE of the capital of Ohio, Columbus.

It was originally Australian, but is now brewed under licence in various countries. Most pubs in England seem to sell the nasty stuff. I spent 12 years in Australia and never met an aussie who drank it.

I drank a lot of VB tho'

Where am I from? Hmmmmm. I was born in Hong Kong, grew up in England, spent 12 years in Australia, and I'm about to marry a Missouri girl. I'll be living about an hour away from Kansas City.

**epos159** · 01-17-2005, 09:02 AM

I'm from central NJ, USA!

Flatliner · 01-17-2005, 10:51 AM

i'm from earth.

actually i'm in colorado

**DumberDrummer** · 01-17-2005, 12:30 PM

Salem, Oregon, crap weather capital of the world. It snows on weekends and rains on school days.

95five-0 · 01-17-2005, 07:38 PM

BFE, Idaho other wise know as Mountain Home. I did not choose to live here the military made me. I am orginaly from Texas and Idaho has way to many rednecks for me. The locals in this town have not made it passed 1986 yet.

On the plus side I will be geting out of the military in July and moving to Dallas.

**superflysmith** · 01-17-2005, 08:35 PM

I'm from Milwaukee Wisconsin USA. Yep.

yustr · 01-18-2005, 01:48 PM

Where'm I from? Tough question.

Born in NY City, school years in CA, college in CA. Then came:

Sierra Leone, Africa (2 yrs)
CA = 4 yrs
Germany = 5 yrs
Washington = 4 yrs (state not DC)
Tenn = 5 yrs
Indiana = 5 yrs
Now = Connecticut

Wow, putting it this way and I've come to one conclusion:

I'm old!!!

And regarding Fosters: I'm not that I'm saying Fosters is bad beer but it sure tastes like the overly carbonated alcholic soda they brew at BUD/COORS/MILLER. And that is bad beer. I stick to local micro's or my homebrew.
