Where Were You Born

[Daddles]

Of course, the poll would have been much more interesting if it had been - where were you born and why?

Well, I don't really like to brag too much of course, so I won't name the country, but after Mum put in that basket of reeds and floated me down that big river, I was picked up by the daughter of ... well, a ruler and the rest is history

Richard

So, are you Jewish, or Egyptian?

Allegdley, according to my adoptive parents, I was born in Jersey.

However, I have lived and journeyed throughout most of the world except Asia.

I came to Aus in late '93 and found it to be a place where I'd want to spend the rest of my life. A truly Beaut place!

Some of the inhabitants are even passable too

the "where" for most is easy. The "why" is an altogether different matter :eek: :eek: :eek:

This is an interesting poll, and possibly a reflection on woodworkers? Apparently (so I'm told) about 1/4 of the population of Australia was born in another country, and another 1/4 have at least one parent born elsewhere. This lot seems to have fewer natives.

Haven't even looked at who has voted, I can't help it if those aren't proud of their heritage.:mad:

I'm very proud of my 'Other' heritage.

Just to even things up a bit, my parents are Italian and I was born in the heart of karri country (Pemberton) SW WA. My father was a timber faller in the Italian Alps and came out to WA in the very early 50s.

Hey fellow woodies if I had remembered this polll had been done before or I was going to upset some I would not have done it.

Sorry.

As Silent C said it was done to ferret out the Kiwis and I dont think we've found them all yet.No disrepect intended.

Well I think it is neat, as it shows that even though this forum in based in Oz, there are lots of us from all over the world here, I like it!

Besides, some of us have not been here on this forum for that long, how would we remember it if it happend before we got here?

Cheers!

Born in South Carolina, USA, lived all over the US (Virginia, Florida, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico) and now back to South Carolina again. Who says you can't go home?

The only Kiwi's we have over here are a small seasonal fruit and a brand of boot polish. (Don't care for the fruit, but it's quite good boot polish. )

I think it is interesting in this internet age that people from all over the world can talk about woodworking together. It opens everyone up to new ideas and ways of thinking about things. Now if we could all join hands and sing Kum-by-ah followed by a love-in. (Sorry, Code of Practice violation looming--I take it back).

And the best thing about is that I don't have to look at any of you!!

No, really, it is a good thing. It's not just the woodworking side, you get to 'meet' different people from all around the place. There are some really weird people out there, thank god I'm so normal

[bennylaird]

thank god I'm so normal

Course you are, now take your medication, there's a good chap.

My apologies to you Tonto.. I did not mean to open a can of worms just ask a question..

Query with Two parents from NZ am i one of those being ferretted out :eek: or by being born on the west island (Tas)am I safe for the moment?

[Sturdee]

Sorry.

Tony

No problems Tony and no hard feelings.

Besides, some of us have not been here on this forum for that long, how would we remember it if it happend before we got here?

A simple search would reveall all.
