You come from...?

HEy ! Well i just wanted to know from where people come from... i'm curious

 ( oh and canadian folks rock) ( or if you prefer, they progressively rock )

 ( and everyone else rock also )

I arrived here around 200 years ago from a planet that orbits a star about 2.3 billion light years from here.  (Trust me, you've never heard of it...)  We find your concept of arbitrary borders "quaint."  We do not have borders, arbitrary or otherwise, on our planet.  All of us share a single planet, and all are responsible for protecting and maintaining it.  That is: since the planet has to sustain all life on it, either we all live together, or we all die together.  We think that's a better way to live.  So far, from what I've seen here, I think we're right.

Peace.

Just curious: why is the list arranged by continents (it's OK for me to consider three different ones in America), with the exception of North America???

Is Maani already eaten or am I first now?

Oh BTW, I'm european...

I live 10 miles west of Bracknell, in the epicentre of metropolitan England that is Reading, and have to say that that ball really is the very best part of Bracknell...

Reading has every junk food franchise you can think of - several branches of most of them, every consumer nightmare store you can name, and hundreds of sucky chain pubs - the ones that invariably have crap music so loud that you can't actually hold a conversation, and sell draught piss and bottled alchopops. This is because they are just as invariably frequented by children, who smash the shop windows and leave pavement pizzas all around town.

Reading is lucky in that it has 4 vinyl stores  - (and I know of at least one in Bracknell - on the 1st floor of that manky little parade of shops near the rear of the covered section of Bracknell Market). Reading's "market" comprises a dodgy shoe seller, a fruit and vegetable stall that sells mainly rotting produce, a meat stall that I go nowhere near (so can't comment ), and 25 stalls selling mobile phone covers.

Reading's famous statue is of a lion, which caused the sculptor to kill himself after he realised that it is anatomically incorrect - if a lion walked with its legs like that, it would fall over. It has since been reported that scientists have since discovered that lions do walk like that and don't fall over... marvellous what they can prove with science.

Reading is lucky enough to be situated near the river Thames and the Kennet and Avon canal, but don't swim in either whatever you do, as you are likely to be pierced by the litter of syringes that the druggies chuck in there every day. Getting drugs in Reading is easy - just ask any child.

Nightlife apart from the many pubs is thriving - you can get some real culture at Reading's famous Hexagon theatre, where typical fare includes Jim Davidson, Half a Sixpence by the Sainsbury Singers, an evening of popular classics by the Wokingham symphony orchestra or Bjorn Again. If that's not enough, there is always the casino and a couple of dodgy nightclubs you can visit - but make sure you wear a bullet-proof vest and watch your drink carefully!
