Canada, eh!
maybe we should rename this the stalkers thread!
lol
well we know baloochi is Irish!
and I’m British!
U.S.S.R. of amerika
The original name for Canada, dreamed up by a parliamentary committee in London, was “Cold North Dominion,” but that waas too long, so they abbreviated it C.N.D. The King’s Royal Governor presented the new name to the inhabitants, and they didn’t say a word. Just looked at him.
“Well, what do you think?” asked the Royal Governor?
“C., eh?” said the first fellow, and just looked at the Governor.
“N., eh?” says the second guy.
“D., eh?” says a third one. Then silence.
“Hey,” says the Governor. “I like that. It’s a heck of a lot easier to pronounce when you spell it that way.”
So that’s how Canada got its name.
I’m from pakistan. My wife’s from Algeria.

There are countries besides the US and UK?
* Born and grown up in The Netherlands.
* Spent 1 year in the Czech Republic.
* Spent 6-7 months in Switzerland altogether on vacations.
* Spent 6 years in Eretz Yisroel.
* Spent almost 1 year by now in the UK.
To complete the list, let’s add countries visited:
Germany, Belgium, Poland, Italy, Austria, France, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein
Nothing really exotic… Never crossed to ‘your’ side of the Atlantic yet, but I sure intend to do so some day. Not planning to visit the NY/NJ area though – I’m thinking of the central/western areas, like Colorado, Utah, Montana, Washington state, Idaho, Wyoming, Oregon… those are the areas that look nice. Couldn’t care less about NY/NJ, Florida, California and the rest of the typical ‘tourist’ states.

UK? What state is that in?
CG, is there no country that will hold on to you? LOL
“UK? What state is that in?”
Shticky your not into college basketball? UK is the University of Kentucky. Its almost time for march madness!
I dont live in the country, i live in the city…
Brooklyn
@Avi K – maybe, some day, I’ll settle somewhere for longer. (Not in a settlement though.) Hopefully that somewhere will be E”Y. Until then, I try to make the best of it. 🙂
Brooklyn
Brooklyn? Huh? Had you said some OOT place we could have agreed. But Brooklyn?
Goq: so is US for university of south carolina or dakota? Or maybe university of superior? Or maybe uninformed stalker.
The UK is in a terrible state.
Canada
Thanks, SG. (Not from Canada, by the way. 🙂 )
canada/ey
@Avi K – so now you’re a specialist on the UK as well?
If we’re in such a terrible state, would you mind explaining why violence here is so low that police officers do not carry firearms?
Would you care to explain why in the UK employees have a lot more rights than in the US?
Would you care to explain exactly how the UK health care system is inferior to the US – or Israeli – one? Here, everyone is entitled to free care automatically by virtue of being resident in the UK (you don’t even need to be a citizen – just legally resident).
Ken Zayn, where are you from?
Canada
kenzayn, with a sub like Urs you can only be British
ps: the correct term would start with n and end with ormal!
@Ken Zayn – since United Kingdom and Great Britain are synonyms (AFAIK), it would be Briton.
Yep – just confirmed: the official name of the UK is:
“United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”
Thus, a person from that country would be either a Briton – or a Northern Irishman, I would guess, but I may be incorrect there, as Wikipedia lists this:
Demonym: British or Briton
Without leaving anything separate for the Northern Irish…
Ken Zayn
born Kenneth Solomon Zaynestzky
Ken Zayn is a European, United Kingdomite, British English Jew. Or actually a Jewish English British UKite European. (What is the correct term for a citizen of the United Kingdom? I dont think there is one.)
LOL:) So are you saying you are from there, or not??
Ken zayn, lol…. Are you from there or not???
