maybe scots are quicker on the uptake than your average islander?

by **thomasjmaccoll** » Fri Feb 02, 2007 2:03 am UTC

Yeah but that goes without saying, we've all been here for months though, they should've realised by now...

by **fjafjan** » Fri Feb 02, 2007 2:16 am UTC

two things

1, The Virgin Islands thing was hillarious, atleast the initial thing, the "comeback" was weak.

2 Frappr was too much like fapper for me... *guttermind*

I have to own up to not paying enough attention. I was so consumed with my war against the bots I allowed my location notifying to collapse.

Also, while you are in Fife, keep an eye out for a girl called Louise Pettigrew, if you see her let me know.

We should have tea and crumpets some time.

Indeed, we must have a jolly spiffing time around a roaring fire and eat jolly buttery crumpets and rather nice cup of earl grey.

(I rarely pay attention to peoples location, the map makes it easy for me to see...thats my excuse for only just noticing!)

Edit: Unless some of the yellow blobs are female, it looks like i'm the only comfirm person in the UK with ovaries

The only west coaster there, too.

Bam!

Only Canadian west-coaster for me. And I'm REALLY a coaster. 5-minute walk

A bunch of my highschool buddies went to Funshaw, London rocks

I was in London last night for a Superbowl party.
I'm in Hamilton.
Also, I noticed the lack of coasters, really the lack of Canadians in general on that thing.
Although there seem to be a few more now, with the London one and the Oakville one, both of which are just up the road, essentially. I mean nearly a third of the Canadian XKCDers on that map are from Ottawa.

Upping this thread for all the new folk!

by **stuck** » Sat Mar 24, 2007 5:25 pm UTC

Very cool, Hawk.

I added myself. The US and Europe are fairly well packed. I shall terrorise all the Europeans when i make my way over there in September.

Where in Europe you headed to?

by **stuck** » Sat Mar 24, 2007 5:34 pm UTC

I fly into London on September 4. Going to be doing the backpacking thing so i plan to get out of London fairly quickly (so expensive!) and into the countryside. I hear York is lovely.

From there I want to do Scotland (mainly Edinburgh and the Isle of Skye), France (Paris and some of the wine regions in the south, the French Riviera, Nice),into Switzerland, Austria and Germany then a train down to Italy (Venice, Pisa, Florence, Rome, Naples, Pompeii), a ferry across the Adriatic to Greece then back through Amsterdam to London and home.

Plan on traveling for 2-3 months provided i can get the cash together for it. I've booked and paid for flights, insurance and pre-travel gear so now i just need to get some cash together over the next 5 months for accom/food/sights.

That said, I hold dual citizenship (Britain/Aus) so i am going to try and get work in the UK at some stage and maybe stay there until January/Feb of 2008 before heading back to Uni to finish up my degree.

Have fun...beware of the chavs!

by **stuck** » Sat Mar 24, 2007 6:01 pm UTC

I had to google "Chav".

It seems like something out of a British Comedy. Or a story you tell to foreigners to make them think the UK is some crazy country - similar to how i tell people that i ride around in Kangaroos.

Are Chavs for real? Mental.

Yes, see my new thread (soon)

i'm added! i should be easy to find.

by **blarg(!)** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 12:35 am UTC

I added myself, for no particular reason. Hooray for no ocean! But I wish I did live near a coast, I like the ocean. I am thinking of Seattle, or Victoria if the US continues to alienate itself from the rest of the world.

by **NightStar** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 1:01 am UTC

I'll be studying in Valencia, Spain this summer...I'm doing my best to swing through Paris and London before I head back to the US, and I really want to get to Ireland, but we'll see how much money I have left at that point. Then it's back to Iowa for good old RAGBRAI (look it up; it's probably the most fun you can have in this state).

by **warriorness** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 1:03 am UTC

It's pretty accurate. My pin is about a five minute drive from my house.

by **Belial** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 1:06 am UTC

Mine as well, actually.

I'm tempted to put my full address, to get it more accurate.

by **damienthebloody** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 1:19 am UTC

mine's a few hundred metres away...which is fun.

by **gmalivuk** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 2:07 am UTC

Awesome, at this point no one on the map is within about a thousand miles of me.

I think I win though... you're closer to Lani in Texas than I am to the aussies...

If verysillyman puts his pin on I'll lose my claim to fame though.

(Though actually the dude in Perth looks pretty way out)

by **stuck** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 3:28 am UTC

Yeah, it's 4000 kilometres (give or take) from Perth to Sydney by road.

Perth is pretty dull like that.

I don't even know where you live.

I notice the only other person in NC is parsonsb, in Raleigh. Are you at NC State, or in high school, or what?

Well there's also johnthemage whom I see on a daily basis, but he's not mapped himself yet.

by **Roffle** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 6:46 am UTC

Alrighty, I added myself to that nifty little map. Looking very alone and northernly *shivers with solitude and cold*

William lived up there, I thought. Because I remember him telling me once, because it was the closest anyone else is to me.
