We want a recount
Let us take our defeat with grace and good manners.

I can't believe there are only 16 English men and women here!

I know one Croatian in another forum. He is a very open and helpful person. I also find the Croatian custom officers very friendly (they also never check my luggage).

Perhaps "The Lounge" is not serious enough for them?

And I thought we had some here from Sweden and Scotland?

I was actually going to vote until I realized you left the entire continent of Asia off the list.

I mean, let's be reasonable. You waste a slot on a meaningless clump of dirt like Scotland, but you can't even spare a single entry for the 2+ billion people in Asia? Good God man, the very fact that they eat something as dreadful as haggis should disqualify them from consideration.

So when you're finished disenfranchising over 1/3rd of the planet, can you add something which geographically encompasses Thailand?

That's Haggis with a capitol H, I'll have you know.

Just put a little น้ำปลา on it and you'll find that it's great even for desert.

Well Slite is from Sweden, but he hasn't been on MR since April - although I may have seen him over on the mybebook forum a week or so ago...
And I guess the LazyScot is sleeping somewhere, he last posted a week or so before you started the poll - assuming 'Hants, UK' is, indeed, in Scotland.


But I have no idea what happened to all the Americans....

Scotland is too important. We HAVE to change that place up north to Thailand.

I had China and Japan listed, but no one bothered to participate, so I gave their slots to others.

I'm usually very good at accommodating peoples requests.......when they're nice about it.

For less than that I've been kicked out of some fine forums.
