Where are you from? Surely a rhetorical question
----------------------------------------Biology states the obvious, I'm from under a gooseberry bush In Kent South-east England. Now live in Lancaster, Lancashire in the Northwest of England I am a freeborn man of the traveling people Got no fixed abode, with nomads I am numbered Country lanes and byways were always my ways Never fancied being lumbered O we knew the woods, all the resting places And the small birds sang when wintertime was over Then we'd pack our load and be on the road They were good old times for the rover There was open ground where a man could linger Stay a week or two for time was not your master Then away you'd jog with your horse and dog Nice and easy, no need to go faster ![]() Now and then you'd meet up with other travelers Hear the news or else swap family information At the country fairs, we'd be meeting there All the people of the traveling nation All you freeborn men of the traveling people Every tinker, rolling stone, or gypsy rover Winds of change are blowing, old ways are going Your traveling days will soon be over ![]() ] By the By your NCR definition was correct I worked for a time in printing and I have handled many reams of NCR Okay Your Boss Was also correct & being the boss you had to give him the credit for Knowing every thing Finally as I know you like Some music this is the link to the words above. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xB2m2id0q4&feature=related You did mention in passing your post count Your keyboard attrition rate must be phenomenal average 15 ppd since you came back on the scene march 20th 117 this week .You do need to take time to eat and sleep apart from your geo cache games ---------------------------------------- [Edit 2 times, last edit by densnaps at May 14, 2011 7:42:57 AM] |

Now live in Lancaster, Lancashire in the Northwest of England <snip> By the By your NCR definition was correct I worked for a time in printing and I have handled many reams of NCR Okay Your Boss Was also correct & being the boss you had to give him the credit for Knowing every thing You did mention in passing your post count Your keyboard attrition rate must be phenomenal average 15 ppd since you came back on the scene march 20th 117 this week .You do need to take time to eat and sleep apart from your geo cache games You have studied me thoroughly Your information about your location is just right. Unfortunately it is so, that I don't give out placement numbers to those who have it right, which come to think of it is darned unjust. Glad I sort of had the NCR correct. What do you know? This Internet is really something: A gentleman i Lancaster, England, can let a mermaid in Denmark know about products from Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. I'm struck with awe. I only sleep 1-2-3 maybe 4 hours a day/night, which leaves me plenty of time to keep up my post count! What is 15 ppd? In all honesty: Most of the post are cheap shots - Hexagame - one word - one post - can make many of them when the usual suspects are in on the game. Just back from a funeral, your post lifted my spirits, Wishbone. I really enjoyed lyrics and music as well as the pictures. They must have been from a parade of sorts. I should like to return your gift by linking to a Danish Folk Song I skovens dybe stille ro You can find the lyrics in Danish, German, and English by clicking that little arrow next to "Show More" |

Deepest and (when the electricity's off), Darkest Africa! Zimabwe You are a very, very rare bird here, Carpet Rodent!;-) Pleased to meet you. I remember your peculiar name from the UD days where it then as now made me smile. I also just read your touching explanation of that name in Jean Pierre's thread. I have a #7 for you, Carpet Rodent, if you would care to update your "Forum Profile" with that African nation - and I assure you that each and every geography buff will be thrilled if you do! |

Zarozinia
- nice meeting you. I suppose, I must have met you before, but because of your name change I have very little to go from. Your "Forum Profile" doesn't say one thing as to where in the World your location may be. There you go: It's an important bit of information. I googled Zarozinia and was told: The Chronicle of the Black Sword is a 1985 (see 1985 in music) studio album by the English space rock group Hawkwind. - so UK may be a fair guess. You have entered answers in Hexagame. We are only a handful playing that. deltavee, Pink Moose, z2000, pramo, bjdbest are among them and they are all American. pcwr and MemyselfandI10 are English. I hate myself for giving up, but I have to ask you:Who were you? And where are you from? |

Great!
So, welcome kind-of-sweet - now with music When do you plan on adding your country to your "Forum Profile"? For some reason I have given you a #5 place - without you ever having listed your country. What a mess! |

Pheeww!
What a relief - and now we have it here, too, as we should have. Thank you for helping me putting the books in order! Beautiful, kind-of-sweet Zarozinia. Is "The Chronicle of the Black Sword" your kind of music and lyrics? |
