I'm a cannibal from Easter Island. Yes, it was me who erected those rock faces on the shorelines. Aside from listening to prog, that is all I had to do.

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.

I voted: Europe. Is Moscow "enough" European city?

Though I was born and lived 22 years in Tashkent - that's Capitol of Central Asian (post-USSR) country Uzbekistan...

Why isn't the glorious People's Republic of Liverpool on the list?

OK, European.

I live in Bracknell, a town about 25 miles or so from London in the UK. I have to share this with you all. Apart from the Millenium Dome, this is the biggest waste of tax payers money - albeit on a considerably smaller scale. This is the famous Bracknell fountain ball. This sits outside our McDonalds and is the cultural centrepiece of our town centre. Its made of Marble and cost about £20,000..

Bracknell by Alex Flahive

Its about 3.5 feet high, and this magnificant structure is best enjoyed on a Saturday morning with a hangover. Some d!ckhead will have poured detergent into it the night before so there will be stream of thick p!ss coloured foam cascading down to the doors of McDonalds. There will always be some gormless man, in a track suit, with a skinhead, and an earing with his hand placed on the ball, marvelling at no matter how hard you try, you cant stop the ball turning. His intrigue is matched only by that of a gorilla peeling his first banana. In the back ground his wife - with matching tracksuit -  will be screaming obscenities at their filthy faced offspring, named Tyler or Parys.

Apart from that, Bracknell is a cosmopolitan mecca of cultural indulgence. Not only do we have a McDonalds, but also a Burger King AND a Pizza Hut. For many, eating in the latter constitiutes being a snob! As for record shops we have the worlds smallest HMV. I was told that an ELP compilation was once spotted in there, but I dont believe it.

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Asia, Malaysia to be exact ...

Emperor, you're originally from Tashkent? I was in a prog band called Samarkand from 1998-2002 ... we recorded one 6-track mini album and nearly called it "Dwarfed by Tashkent"

Yes, I'm naturally and originally from the very Tashkent  I lived there till the 2001 year, when have removed to Moscow...

Samarkand is the 2nd biggest city at Uzbekistan after Tashkent BTW (it was a big feudal capitol in the Middle Ages - very ancient city with a lot of architectural and cultural monuments). So was that band from Uzbekistan?

Honestly, there weren't any Prog Bands in Uzbekistan except Vitaliy Men'shikov's "Al Bird/X-Religion" projects (only studio ones). You can read about them at GEPR. Vitaliy Men'shikov is the owner of veryu good Prog-Resource www.progressor.net He also writes a lot of reviews for another sites...

What instrument you played with Samarkand?

I have a little observation: the people from Mexico are actually north american, so they have to use the "else where" choice. Bad, because I was interesting to know how many Latin-american are present in the forum.

I come from Poland, so Europe's the continent, although some foreigners as well as some Poles would strongly disagree

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.

http://www.readinglibraries.org.uk/news/greatpeople/simonds. htm

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!
