SIMPLYAUSTIN Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 The very east of the Netherlands. A stones throw from Germany. I lived there too... was a pain in the ass as I used to get a lil too tipsy every now and again.... well quite often as its cheap there I would often end up asking a dutch dude "Sprekan ze English?". In other words Im asking a dutch guy if he can speak English... in German. Luckily the dutch are such easy going people and they can often speak around 4 dif languages hehe. I was living in Roermond then... good times! Preston UK Lived there too! Used to be a club which used to do good deals on drinks... Tokyo Joes... Place was a nightmare but sure had some good times Well I was born in Liverpool but moved out when I was 16. Lived everywhere around the UK and then went global! Lived in Chicago, Alberta in Canada, Munchen Gladbach, Roermond and now Im in Sunny Wales in the UK. Simply Austin's YouTube

THK Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I lived there too... was a pain in the ass as I used to get a lil too tipsy every now and again.... well quite often as its cheap there You mean good belgian/german & even dutch beer? I would often end up asking a dutch dude "Sprekan ze English?". In other words Im asking a dutch guy if he can speak English... in German. Luckily the dutch are such easy going people and they can often speak around 4 dif languages hehe. I was living in Roermond then... good times! Ah, well older folk tend to speak German pretty well, the younger folk English. We can manage a little as we are a small country with a lot of international trade/business. Languages sounds like a big exaggeration to me as most can make them self understandable or understand 2 foreign tongues at most. Also, "Sprechen sie English" is about as basic as you can get Besides, living almost in the most Southern tip of the Netherlands, you were surrounded ..........................back with a vengeance........................

Fromlostdays Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Born and raised in and around New Orleans, Louisiana. I grew up quite literally on the bayou, (alligators on the porch, I have absolutely no fear of them) in the inner city (on top of a bar, I also have no fear of alcohol), and in the suburbs during various parts of my development. I didn't get my first computer until I was 14 or 15. At that point, I spent all my time using it to watch porn, so I never really learned anything about it until I started messing with Hyperspin. Moved to Baton Rouge to finish acquiring my completely worthless degree in Writing and Communication. Walter:beerglass:

cowbells Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I'm from Indianapolis where all our nicknames are a joke against us. Crossroads of America (as in, you drive through it) India-NO-place Naptown (IndiaNAPolis, like, there's nothing to do here) Circle City (you know... cause everyone gets around... implying we're all sluts, ok this one's true) Amateur Sports Capital of the World Born and raised. I've traveled all over the place and I prefer it here. Only city I've ever been to that's big but feels small and actually has nice people pretty much wherever you go.
