[The_Senator_from_Terra]

oh come on we all know real mexicans living in mexico do not eat the americanized tacos and gorditas and such taco bell/chi chis food like that, Mexico has its own very unique types of food, much more unique then what you can find at taco bell or "mexican restaraunts" here in the states LOL, we understand.

And yes you can see I am not "foreign" but I hope you don't me posting in here I like talking to people not from my country, it's interesting.

[The_Senator_from_Terra]

Here in the States commericals for Foster's beer love to make it seem as if "real Aussie's drink Foster's" however I have heard that a true Aussie wouldn't be caught dead with Foster's. Is this true? I bet it is, because those commercials are really overdoing it...

Also how does the majority of Mexico feel about Vicente Fox? From the little we've seen and heard about him on american TV he comes across as being a pretty decent president.

Not really although SOME australians like Fosters Ice. YOu're much more likely to find an Aussie Beer Drinker with a VB in their hand.

There are 6 mods around here who do not live in the US. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

I wonder if I can find VB here in the states lol

[T-bone]

Here's a question:

If you're from a country and you say "foreign" do you mean Non-US?
Otherwise you're looking for people FROM the US?
I'm confused if the term foreign means not from your country or not from the USA...

[T-bone]

Ah ok - because to you, you're not foreign!
no matter where you are.
USA is actually foreign to where you are, right?

Anyhow - Non-USA is what we're taling about here - just wanted to clarify.
thanks.

well in my family, we were raised calling it as burma, even though the name had already been changed when i was born. i don't like the sound of being called "myanmarese" or whatever it would be! but yes, burma and myanmar are the same country.

While I agree that JA 37 Jaktviggen is a good plane, it hasn't been seeing much action. The JAS 39 Gripen is terrible. I can't see a Gripen coming out alive from a dogfight, all electronics would have failed and the plane crashed. It's a miracle that noone was seriously injured when a Gripen fighter crashed in downtown Stockholm on the 8th of August 1993 during an airshow. Strangely enough, a memorial rests on that spot (I can't understand why it was erected). An other Gripen fighter crashed in Sweden's largest lake Vänern in 1999. The American fighter jets are much better, especially the F/A 18 Hornet and F-22. Well, the MIG-29 and other Russian fighters would outclass Gripen.
The bottom line is, it's difficult to judge a fighter which hasn't seen much of real action. I think it would have been better if Sweden had joined the Eurofighter project instead of developing the dreadful JAS 39 Gripen.


On second thought, does this belong in a Star Wars forum?

MY favorite vehicle is Swedish. (I'd need a very big Driveway for it though) and a completely different type of License too style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

the good ol' SAAB VIGGEN! Let's see you fit THIS (http://ttjstk.myrice.com/wqxh/saab-35/detail_viggen_02.jpg) in your home garage!
While I agree that JA 37 Jaktviggen is a good plane, it hasn't been seeing much action. The JAS 39 Gripen is terrible. I can't see a Gripen coming out alive from a dogfight, all electronics would have failed and the plane crashed. It's a miracle that noone was seriously injured when a Gripen fighter crashed in downtown Stockholm on the 8th of August 1993 during an airshow. Strangely enough, a memorial rests on that spot (I can't understand why it was erected). An other Gripen fighter crashed in Sweden's largest lake Vänern in 1999. The American fighter jets are much better, especially the F/A 18 Hornet and F-22. Well, the MIG-29 and other Russian fighters would outclass Gripen.
The bottom line is, it's difficult to judge a fighter which hasn't seen much of real action. I think it would have been better if Sweden had joined the Eurofighter project instead of developing the dreadful JAS 39 Gripen.


On second thought, does this belong in a Star Wars forum? [/b][/quote]
As this thread talks about people and things not in the USA talking about Swedish Planes should be fine.

Hello, I'm from Sweden.



A very informative post.
Hey... En Svenske...
En kjær nabo i øst... style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif
Ja, det var roligt (alltså i betydelsen "fun" på engelska) att se att det finns representanter från ett broderfolk på detta forum. Take care, obidobi.
He he... Jeg vet hva "roligt" betyr.. Jeg har vokst opp med svensk tv. Jeg bor i Fredrikstad, kun 35 minutters kjøretur fra Strømstad og er der og handler minst en gang i uken.(Norge er dyrt!)

Jeg har også en tante(moster) i Stockholm samt 2 kusiner der. Hadde en sommer i Marsta hos dem. Har ikke vært i Stockholm siden 93.

Explain what L'n'P is (in a PM if it's not suitable for the board) and I'll give you an answer.

[STar war spUNK]

hey... i wanna know too!

[James]

Ok it's NZ's national drink. It's short for Lemon and Paeroa. It's basically a type of dry lemonade with lemon, Paeroa is the place where this was invented. It's called L'n'P for short. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

I thought Australians really loved this drink, I went to stay with some Australian friends in Melbourne once and they had it all stocked up for New Years. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/giveup.gif

Next time you're in NZ, get some, it's great I drink it all the time. I really love l'n'p style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/inlove.gif

yeah he's pretty good considering he's only been playing about a year and he's only 17... he's trying to get a scholarship for them... i think he might be able to actually.

I think bagpipes sound better as part of a band, with the drums etc.

[cj790]

I like the sound of bagpipes, but they really need to be heard in moderation. Same as with a Male Voice Choir. Lovely to hear once in a while, but after hearing them for an hour or two you get a bit fidgety to hear something funky...

What do you do when you actually see one? They don't really have serial numbers to write down like with trains...

[Tarkheki JD]

Actually, Nova Scotia means "New Scotland" and it was originaly settled by scottish imagrints.
So the populaiton is nearly half scottish.

And after we see one, we take a picutre, give him a randome name, and put it in a photo album. Then, I go through all the candidates and select the few I think are eligible. Then, my friends go around with date proposals and we see who takes the bait. Who ever does, begins courtship with me before I cut the nubers down to "Mr. Right" and we marry.
And then he puts me on his white stallion and we blast off to the Star Wars univers.... style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wub.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

[mazzy]

Yeah, I knew Nova Scotia meant new Scotland, some of the people in my village went there on a boat called the Hector after the evil English kicked them off their farms and burned the bothies to the ground. This was in the 19 century, not last week or anything!

Tark - you could have a points system, 1 = ginger hair
2 = drinking whiskey
3 = tossing a caber
4 = wearing a kilt
1000 = Ewen McGreggor

He he, sounds like fun, come to Scotland instead though, it's not overated.

*Mazzy is not employed by the Scottish tourist industry*

[Tarkheki JD]

Are you kiddin'?! I'm DYING to go to scotland and visit some of the isles off the coast. I'm looking for one in particular too!

Actually, we do have a point system... similar to your actually but it goes:

1= Ginger hair
1.5= Beard and Moustache/long hair (those I can get him to grow after)
2= Tossing a caber (toss it man!)
3- Wearing a kilt
4= acting chivalrious (manners are important to me)
5= cuddly
10= only drinks socially without gettin' hammered
50= turns down the drink to begin with

every company/coorperation has to put out statistical info and company detailing info atleast once per year. radio stations the same. they then rank these companies, and you can get a list annually.

I'm from Holland or the Netherlands if you prefer that, never did understand why this tiny little country needed two names in english.

I don't think there are other dutch people around in the senate but I'm not sure, Obi-Stu speaks afrikaans that's quite similar to dutch though.

[mazzy]

It certainly sounds similar. Hey Bous, I've been to the most obvious place in the Netherlands - Amsterdam and thought it was a beautiful city for the art and culture. Where else would you recomend?

The name "netherlands" refers to all dutch countries in the North, like the way "balkans" and "americas" mean specific segments of contintents.

Holland is the country's name. Also the inventors of the first and most important Vaccine against small pox.
Women go for the chocolate, Men go for the milkmaids.

wasn't that steryotypical.

btw, Naarden used to be the capital before Amsterdam. I know that because i wanted to spoof a newspaper for Cognitive Psychology so i photo manniped a picture of Freud into a picture of Amsterdam.

The Netherlands used to be Holland and Belgium together, you had the northern Netherlands (Holland) and the southern Netherlands (Belgium).
Still, if people are talking about the Netherlands now they mean Holland.

Mazzy if you liked Amsterdam mainly for the culture & art there are lot of other places worth visiting. For example the place I live (Alkmaar) is a city not far from Amsterdam (about 35 kilometers) and it's also a nice old city with lots of things to see.
Other nice places if you like culture are Leiden, Gouda, Groningen and lots more.

If you ever come back let me know, maybe I can give you some tips then.

Nah, I'm origlly from England, we moved to South Africa when I was four years old. It took me 15 years to learn how to speak Afrikaans. I still don't speak it well but my reading, writing and understanding Afrikaans is really good.

Cool, I must say that some things are hard to understand for me. Afrikaans sounds a lot like dutch but there are a lot of differences too.

[Obi-Stu]

I'm not sure what is spoken in Belgium, but that is really close to Afrikaans, I could easily follow the signs around Brussels airport.

[bous]

In Belgium they speak French and Dutch, so I guess it's the Dutch signs you're talking about. (in some parts of belgium they even speak German I believe).
