Well, I have to admit that I was indoctrinated at an early age by a Yorkie history teacher so I still am of the "Richard III" was stitched up brigade... and my best friend in the world is a Yorkie..... so we have more or less worked through the North - SOuth thing....

The French thing is worse.. in france I am often held personally responsible for everything since the 100 years war ...... and here some people think I must be French cos I was bilingual.... doubly damned....

What ever happened to the World Map that showed where a lot of Downers lived in the World?

It vanished, unfortunately. It was pretty impressive actually - there were a surprising amount of 'Downs-owned' countries, as you put it, Ainaserkewen - world domination, here we come! But it couldn't hold more than a couple of hundred Downer points, I think, so the newew points eventually started wiping off the older ones. I can't remember exactly why, but it stopped working. Being as there was no one who seemed to have the time, facilities and knowledge to start up and maintain a new one, the map vanished.

Pity, really. Good while it lasted.

I am sure that it's still there somewhere. Burra posted a link to it on a thread much like this one about a year ago and I went along and pinpointed myself, sadly wiping another Downer of the face of the earth in the process since, as Aman points out, it had only limited capacity.

Welcome to the 'Downs, Glirdan! Once you've been here awhile, you'll notice that subjects can miraculously change quite often .

Why thank you Estel for the welome, and I see what you mean by the posts changing a lot. But that's what makes it funner, hey?

Oh, I disagree Glirdan, from where I'm standing, it's a balmy 7 degrees! The sun is shining, the birds are singing/dying of starvation(just kidding, we put out feeders) and out on the open water one sees sailors practicing for upcoming competitions. Plus, we all know when spring is really truly hear, it's when my Chem teacher, reedy Mr. Black starts coming to school on his practical red and white scooter. That, my good Glirdan is my Canada...oh yes, and welcome to this multi-national site of peace, happiness and Love...ing Tolkien.

Well, Ainaserkewn, exactly where are you standing in Canada (which province) beacuse where I'm standing, it's about -12 celcius, so I can't exactly say the same thing, can I?
