I'll bite but I think most everyone knows I am in Northern California and other than a 2 year stint in Boston have lived here my whole life......... but my sister lives in London now so I will be over soon as a visitor.
Hardly a city...Heiligenhafen, Germany. :dead horse:
I think everyone knows I am in New York City by now, but just in case, that's where I live now.
Marlborough Massachusetts, near Boston.
Probably not a big surprise to know that i'm in Beijing, China.
I'm in the thriving metro area of Lake Elizabeth, CA all 1000 of us......which is why I just tell everyone that I'm about 40 miles north of LA in the mountains.

Fascinating stuff. Thanks WhiteJC.
Do those figures represent different individuals? For instance - are there two people in the Isle of Man in that period or has manxman been on twice?
Who is our man in Bolivia I wonder?

I think these are different people, google doesn't explain how the figures are gathered however, I can "zoom in" on countries, and from there zoom in on towns/cities. When I do this for Reading (where I live) it tells me that there have been 16 visits, I know that at least one other (theDoctor) lives in this area, I also know that I've made more than 16 visits to the site.
It also tells me that 25% were "new visits", this indicates that it only counts visits as individuals?
Thanks for that. That does make it interesting. 349 Americans on here! And 22 Germans - who knew?? Its great to see.
Sadly tjl has not looked in on here since September 9th. Much missed. Do we know if they have had much snow on Sark?

@ White JC. Google Analytics normally makes use of the IP address. If you have a fluctuating one, that is counted twice. I have one at work and several at home, so Belgium: 6 is probably me.
Nay, it has to be me. I want to be the exclusive Belgian here.

If Belgium splits surely Flanders will be the dominant power. From memory about 58 percent of the population are Flemish. Thus you will have the power to rule and may I say Mr Sipwell you would do a fine job, :020:

Belgium hardly wins anything at Olympics. We create new sports just to have a world champion once in a while. If Belgium were to split, I would even have less chances of cheering for a "world champion". That's why I want to be either Brit or French ;-)
Moreover:
1) I live in Brussels and that is a conflict territory (especially, like me, if you are a Dutch speaker)
2) Belgium will not split.

You are the one who raised the possibility of Belgium splitting - all I was doing was attempting to put a positive spin on it for you.
What Belgium needs is a Flemish equivalent to Che Guevara and I know the very person who is holed up in a house in Vilvoorde. Have no worries Mr Sipwell - when the revolution comes I shall put in a good word for you. :dft010:
Nothing like putting a new spin on the revolution eh CH? lol.

I heard the official head count for a group to be labelled as "a crowd" in Cyprus is 2. Is that rumour correct?
Not quite, but not far away. There was half a dozen of us watching a few weeks back.
...isn't there a Fulham bar in Paphos? I'm sure when I was staying at Nissi Beach I saw an advert for it - or am I imagining things..?

Superb :54: , but the only thing is if i saw a Stamford bridge bar i wouldn't drink in it, he must lose some customers like Brentord or the bitter fans over that name. Saying that if i ever get back to Cyprus i will go out of my way to have a drink there :beer:

One of the things I love about this forum is the way some threads tilt and ride on the black and white tide of FoF. Just when you've forgotten about a topic, somebody blows the dust off it , gives it airing and we give it another run around the block.

Not difficult to guess from my handle! People say Malta but the Gozitans hate being called Maltese and generally dislike the Malts anyway.
I know of at least 2 other Ex-pats on this rock who are FFC and I did give a Gozitan friend's son a FFC shirt which he promised to wear to school. :wine:

Other than that, Thames Ditton in darkest Surrey probably doesn't qualify for overseas status so I'll butt out of this thread!
