Yes the capital of the Netherlands, but please don't count us Amsterdammers as Netherlanders because we are not. Confused? An Amsterdam proverb: You've got Amsterdammers and you've got farmers .
So the current stats:
1 Amsterdam
Total Amsterdam 1
The rest: not from Amsterdam
Total for the world: 80 (well more or less)
We like simple stats here
The wheater: cold, rainy, the same as yesterday, depressing.
No wonder van Gogh was a loony who cut of his own ear.

The summary rides again!...
Note: For those of us who listed multiple places, I chose the
current residence (assuming I could figure out which one that is),
unless the researcher emphatically specified some other city as
home.
Sorry if I missed someone who posted their city in the middle of
the conversation but really it's your own bloody fault. I don't
know who's nuttier, me for doing this or you lot for wanting me to
do it.

It all rather depends on your definition.
If its "where you were born" then Ethiopia, if its "what passport you hold/football team you support" then it's England, and if "its where do you pay the majority of your tax" then its currently Dublin, Ireland.
Where will that go in your stats??

Ok! Ok! So I popped in to see where the latest was from and started to reply, (having lived in Alabama myself,once)
Changed my mind, decided to go to silversoltice's homepage instead.
Guess which button the cursor clicked on......obviously not 'Return..without replying.
Then again, maybe Ruby made me post that on purpose.
She's the original nowhere woman.

They're little red berries that grow in the woods of Scandinavia. Edible only if you mix them with loots of sugar.
...are you trying to implicate that you have better things to do than waiting for this forum to load?

Do you know what cranberries are? (No? oh, well, never mind... ) Lingonberries are almost the same as cranberries, just a little smaller and rounder. Small, red berries that taste quite sour. Some people mix them with loadsa sugar, I prefer them as they are.
The lingonberry juice makes a perfect drink-mix
