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

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

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

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? :rolleyes:
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.:D )
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!! ;)Quote:

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 :D
