It would be interesting to run a poll and see who is more affected by WHOA, americans or europeans.

You should make it a two-parter, total number of whistles, and total spend. One Overton would pay for a dozen Generations.

I'm a Londoner born and bred, apart from my University years spent in Birmingham, city of my forefathers as it happens. I still meet people who tell me they're from xyz, a suburb of London, and I'm scratching my head as to where that is exactly.

Or it could be lice.

Well, someone else in the world is of Welsh, Dutch, Scottish and English ancestry. I thought it was just me.

(Though I'm also German and Swedish, if that's not confusing enough already.)

Born and raised in Port Hope, Ontario. Just a small town of 12,500 people. But I also live in Kingston on account of school.

I'm also of Dutch, English and a whole mess of other ancestries. Half Dutch from my mother's side. My Dad's side is mostly English, but they've been in Canada for so many generations, nobody's really sure of the exact ancestry anymore.

I was born in Asia and lived there more than 20 years. I came to US and live here over 20 years. Should I vote for Asia or America? or both?

Lilymaid, Snuh, does that mean we're all cousins? :roll:

If so, I can't think of a better bunch to be related to!

All the best,
BB

P.S. - does this mean that bog genealogy is a contributing factor in taking up the whistle?

Sounds like it's time for a family reunion!

I could tell you where I was born, where I grew up, my lineage. But somehow, whenever I do that, it feels like I'm talking about someone else, not me.

I really feel like I came from somewhere far away I can't quite remember and landed on this planet for some reason I'm still trying to fathom.

Tell me about it. :roll:

On a less hazy note, born in MPLS but raised in ND and SD, so am culturally a barbarian from the flatlands. Not unlike the salmon and the eel, I found my way back home. I think I'm more of an eel.

N,

I'm not sure where MPLS is, so I ran a search.

You're from Multiprotocol Label Switching?

It's pronounced "Mupples", and is bursting at the seams with the arts or what passes for them.

I agree. :/
