Hello From England

RE: Hello From England
As you see, George, we're simply lousy with Ur-o-peens and other furrners.

In fact, the board creator is a Brit, but he had the good sense to come to good old 'Murrica. He has even become a fan of football, the real kind. Trying to blend in, is my guess.

I'm in Manchester. I've been down to Brighton a couple of times, combined it with horseracing at Goodwood.

Ah, I've unfortunately never been to Manchester, although I really want to at some point soon! That's cool, what did you think of the city, may I ask?  Smile

I love football, been to a couple of the international series games in London which were great (especially the tailgate)! I'm a Raiders fan myself. I'm guessing you're Titans?

I'm from Germany and my experience with my atheism here was entirely anticlimactic. My experience with my atheism during my time in the American south was more interesting.

Hi Alex,

It sounds pretty much like the UK. No one I know goes to church or is even really remotely religious, its just not as bigger part of society as in the US. (Especially the South!!)

Cheers  Shy

I thought it was a nice place from what I saw of it, nice beach and very laid back atmosphere.

Yeah I'd say thats about right! Glad you liked it. What would you say should be a top priority for when I come to Manchester?

Thanks for saying hi, really don't know why I've never joined this forum before! Everyone seems super friendly which is great! Really looking forward to having future discussions about the evil of religion with you all heheh  Wink

mh.brewer I'm guessing by "of course we're all christian land" you mean america?  Tongue

Yep, and close to the geographic center. I think the christians don't want to fall off the edge.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

Welcome atheist from the land of good tea and gardens. I'm nominally from Murica but in Berkeley, CA it is the theists who sometimes wonder if they are all alone. Around here they tend to home school in order to give them the closed minded experience so beneficial to raising kids in a cult.

I shall forgive you twice. Once for being a Raiders fan, and the second time for suggesting that I could be so depraved as to be a fan of such a lowly club as the Titans.

I, my good sir, am a Stillers fan, born and bred.

Haha, thank you very much! It's really kinda unfortunate that I enjoy neither tea or gardens. Wow that sounds pretty crazy, homeschooling really ain't that common round these parts!

I thank you for your kind forgiveness Wink , I have friends and family from CA and it kinda rubbed off, oops. Ahh, were you formerly a resident of Pittsburgh?
