grynch · 07-29-2011, 08:40 AM

hi monkey.. I live in the french speaking part of Switzerland ( geneva ) and I've just googled your name and I could find very few monkey's here.

( I did find "cheese eating surrender monkey" but they had a proper french residence )

and hiya Dana .... just to add to the confusion here...I am actually a Yank transplanted over here... however mrs. G is Brit.. from near London originally but lived in Huddersfield for awhile... donkey's years ago.

BigV... hell.... let me tell ya..... just go back to bed now... or like me start dreaming of that first vodka tonic ( in about 2 hrs. )

grynch · 07-29-2011, 08:42 AM

DanaC.. just noticed the tag under your name.... are you a proper Brit or a transplant Canuck'ian?

infinite monkey · 07-29-2011, 08:50 AM

Thanks for that map. I'd never seen it laid out like that!

it's a weird country this.... the germans don't like the french, the french don't like the italians.. and the italians don't like anyone.

( mrs. and I had a couple of days away at a mountain resort just recently ... just above the second "e" in Lake Geneva on that map... maybe 15 miles from the french speaking area and not a soul spoke french )

this is my very first post ( please hold your applause ) and the last forum I belonged to pretty much insisted that newbies posted an "introduction" post or face the wrath of old timers.

so here I am.

thats it. ( for now )

No intro thread required.

The regulars savage the newbies on general principles around here.

We're a much more mature forum.

Oldest on the internet, actually.

We're quite welcoming, just so long as you kids stay offa my lawn.

So what you're saying is that it's kind of a microcosm of the world at large.

Before the crash we would have been happy with 250- 260 but now that is a fair price for that market

For the rest of you---- thanks for the welcomes !!

DanaC · 07-29-2011, 08:50 AM

*grins* no, I am not a Canuck. That was just a play on the way my name sounds.

I'm a Lancashire lass, transplanted across the Pennines to Yorkshire. About a 20 minute drive from Huddersfield as it goes.

grynch · 07-29-2011, 08:52 AM

Dana.. ok... I've never been up that was but mrs. tells me it's God's country ( with the possible exception of Huddersfield itself !!!!!!!!!!!! )

Pete Zicato · 07-29-2011, 09:00 AM

Where did you grow up in the states? What are you doing for a living in Swissland?

If and when you do piss someone off here, I will probably burst out into song. It's practically required.

Har! Hudd's ok. Fairly typical West Yorkshire town.

As to God's Country:
