Where is everyone from?? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Wonderful job, Aman! There's a typo in my name too, though.

Oh, and Bicolana is a female native of Bicol, in the Philippines.

If the residents of member countries of the British Commonwealth join forces, they have a chance of outnumbering the Americans.

Excellent work, Ms. Aman!

It would be unwise to underestimate the knowledge of Barrowdowners..... especially those of a certain age......

Hilde Bracegirdle · 04-17-2005, 01:05 PM

Yes, it was not too long ago when Croatia could be pinpointed more accurately by the general populatation than say Dol Amroth!

But of course, Barrow-downers are the exception, and many no doubt, would have no trouble pointing out both locations!

Mithalwen · 04-17-2005, 01:16 PM

Well the events of 15 - 10 years ago stay in the memory of those old enough to remember them - on the whole I assume that the obsessive Tolkienism of downers does not preclude an interest in current affairs

- obviously a lot of downers are in their mid teens and I am not sure how much recent history gets taught in schools.....

And where am I from? That’s a difficult question. But with a simple answer.

That is, I come from good old Blighty!
Britain! Britain! Britain!
William Shakespeare: British!
J.R.R.Tolkien: British!
The Eiffel Tower: British!
The Great Wall of China: British!
Hookbill The Goomba: British!

Okay, maybe that was a bit over the top. But there you go.
More precisely, Lancashire, North West, England, Britain, United Kingdom, Earth, Milky way, East Universe.

Ah see! It is a small world...and old, even if parts of its history remain a mystery, and others have been repeated far too often. (You may take that which ever way you like!)

At anyrate, it is nice to find common 'stomping' ground among this diverse and far-flung group!

Mithalwen · 04-17-2005, 02:28 PM

Just think it was an incoherent system .... also managed to study Macbeth four times ...... (and I didn't switch schools) nvm
