    Were you born in Austria? Do you currently or ever lived in Austria?

    I was born in England & never actually lived in Austria, but I am very close with my Austrian family - I go there on holiday a few times a year, to Vienna and for Skiing in Tirol/Salzburg... wieso - hast du irgend eine Verbindung zu Österreich..?

    I'm another one from Northern Ireland. This country needs to be added to your list although it is a part of the UK.

    I think it might be easier to go with:

    England
    Scotland
    Wales
    Northern Ireland
    Republic of Ireland

    @Dragonpol do you agree?

    Wouldn't 'UK' and 'Ireland' just cover all those bases..? No need to bring politics onto the forum.

    Yes, either that or the UK. I'm easy.

    Add another point to Australia. I was born in Brisbane; lived along the east coast of QLD for most of my life, and now I reside in Adelaide.

    I don't think in all honesty that anyone was bringing politics onto the forum. What @AceHole has suggested is a good breakdown. The constitutional position on Northern Ireland remains unchanged - it remains part of the United Kingdom. The Republic of Ireland has not been part of the UK since 1921.

    Where in Wallonie are you from? I live just outside Brussels (though I'm not Belgian).

    I'm from a small village in Province de Luxembourg, the nearest town is Marche-en-Famenne, where I actually lived during 19 years. And you where near Brussels ?

    Oh thank you for that information ; I'll certainly read it when it'd be finished with the Fleming's ones that I haven't read all yet... BTW, I wish 007 would come in films, that was my first meaning (they only mentioned Namur's jail in FYEO during the Q scene, if I'm right ; I honestly can't remember other references to my country in films but if you do, please remind it to me ;) )

    They are in Denmark.
    Maybe they do not have internet access?

    Or they are too drunk to figure out how to create an account. But if someone from Trondheim can do it...

    Though to be fair you are not the run of the mill Norwegian, so don't put yourself down.

    @jobo is from Trondheim. Not me.

    But he knows I am kidding. They have a reputation for drinking heavily, like the Danes.
    The Finns are the worst though, and arguably the Northerners.

    But the Russians beat them all.

    We might drink a lot, but we have fantastic stamina! I don't know if that implies to the Danes, though... ;)

    A small village called Eppegem. Very rural :-)

    I live in Florida in the USA. It's known as the sunshine state due to the great weather we have here year round.
