Coming out of the closet

[Killakoala]

Yes, i am an ex-pat Pom and proud of it.

But not just any old common or garden variety Pom, I am a Yorkshireman.

Anyone else want to 'come out'

I don't care what closet you come out of as long as your out and proud!

Me, I'm an Aussie but my grandparents are from the UK.

Cheers

[Werewolf]

Another Englander here. From the best part of course - Newcastle!

Gave up my British passport several years ago but you'll always find me backing the poms in every sport! Sucker!

[xerubus]

i'm the only one in our family that is Australian, the rest are all poms....



"Take me home, United Road; To the place I belong; To Old Trafford, To see United; Take me home, United Road."

Aaaaaarghhh................wash your mouth out with soap

[Nnnnsic]

Oh finally, a post in this section!

You are all wrong - go the Gunners

[leigh999]

I am first generation Aussie on my mum's side (Pommy family) and am living with a bloke who is not only a Pom but also a die-hard Chelsea fan

[gstark]

I was wondering how long it would take you to notice this section.

[fozzie]

So the question needs to be asked, how many people are in the closet .

Cheerio,

[leek]

I would have come out of the closet earlier, but I'm having a lot of trouble identifying with the name of this section...

I'm Welsh - and definitely not English...

[MHD]

Where's England?

[sirhc55]

Where's England?

Obviously not into Richard II -

”This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle, this earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, this other Eden, demi-paradise, this blessed plot, this realm , this ENGLAND”

(spoken by John of Gaunt)

[nigels]

I'm not a POM but rather an ENGLISH GENTLEMAN. came from Notts in 1956,

Had little difficulty deciding which side to barrack for in the Rugby World Cup.

Did you know, the D70 was developed in the mother country. Thats England for you Colonial Republican Revolutionists.

I do hold an Australian passport though.

In this country when people come out of the closet ity generally means something entirely different.

[rokkstar]

I' ve been actively English for the past 27 years.

When I told my friends they were shocked but now they have accepted it.

Sussex born and bred myself.

[meicw]

I come from the Rhondda Valley, but I spent a lot of my youth in Norfolk. Perhaps that why I like Leek & Potato soup.
I am now throughly naturalised now though. Love it when the poms get beaten in anything and follow Essendon in the AFL.

Matt's comment made my laugh, but yours has me in hysterics Killa!

[takai]

Welcome takai - were you a student in Bristol or just enjoying the west country air?

[kipper]

I'm a brit and proud. Born and bred in Hampshire. Just actually got back from a 9week trip to France and the UK.
Went to Whitby in North Yorkshire, very nice. Went to Great Ayrton which is just above North Yorkshire. Also went to the Peak District and Ladram Bay in Devon.

Depends what you want to shoot. So many things to be taking photos of there. Architectural structures, landscapes etc.

Devon, Cornwall, Dorset, Yorkshire, Wales, Peak and Lake District are some nice places to go. Don't need specifics, just get in a car and drive. You'll bound to find something pretty to take photos of.

[LOZ]

[xerubus]

oh dear.....

[MATT]

Well I am a lesbian....trapped ina mans body!!


MATT

[xerubus]

this thread is going down hill very quickly...

[marcus]

But I do agree with Matt. If I believed i reincarnation, I think lesbian would be a good option. Not Dykes on bikes mind you, more like Portia De Rossi style. Sorry about the spelling but all my info is from brief peeks at my wife's womens magazines.

[Sheetshooter]

Reincarnation? Come back as a lesbian? Not for me!! I'm coming back as the vaulting box in a girls' school gym.

If I'm lucky, I guess.

Careful, there.

Our local mayoral (alleged)-person will have you arrested for comments like that.

Ok, Ok I'll come out as well, I'm an Essex boy and proud of it.

Don’t know if the moniker Essex Boy relates in the same way as an Essex Girl

[kipper]

Me, born half way between Southhampton and Portsmouth about 5min from Gosport.

[moggy]

Kipper, I was born just near the Scottish border but grew up in Gosport and Portsmouth before migrating out to Oz.

[Yedrup]

Born in Dartford not to be confused with Dartmoor the home of other nutters
Raised in Richmond, Surry just up the road from the haunt of the early Rolling Stones, two of which lived about four houses away much to the disgust of my mother (dirty, lazy heathens )

40yrs later, still smiling like the cat who got the cream and thanking my father for his wise decision to bring us to the colonies.

Still.......... Brentford, Derby County to win something sometime PPPPPLLLLLEEEEAAAAAAASSSSSEEEE

Gotta get my fingers to spell better than I do

Terry - I lived in Dartford and went to school there - the same school as Mick Jagger. In Dartford from about 1948 thro 1956. My father (who was disabled) was a night watchman at the Wells fireworks factory and was not on duty the night of the big flood in 1953 which killed the relief watchman!

We then moved to ”Only Fools and Horses” country and then onto Shaftesbury Avenue in London

Just had to pop in and confess my sins . . . yep I'm a Canon user.

Living in the US, but hail from the Midlands of England loike, where I'm got the nasty habit of supporting Birmingham City. The surgeons tell me it can't be removed.

Moved to Wales, learnt the language, and now run photo tours from a little town in Idaho.

While we are speaking of England, and in case anyone from the closet hadn't heard - You lost the Ashes (a cricket trophy!) - and in doing so, achieved the following:

1. The shortest period of time to hold onto the Ashes.
2. The highest declared innings to then lose the match (in an Ashes series).
3. The second highest declared innings to then lose the match (in all test matches).
4. Allow the second fastest test hundred to be scored.
5. Achieved the 7th highest individual innings score in a losing side (P Collingwood at Adelaide).
6. UNOFFICIALLY: the widest wide bowled in a test match (1st ball at Brisbane).
