Denmark? That's a country!!!!

Hey, I've been on and off Techspot, but I always forgot to intruduce myself:

I live on an island called Amager, which is part of Copenhagen, the capitol city of Denmark (member of UN and EU) and yes that IS a country in Europe in case you were wondering where you heard it before.

I consider myself a windows-expert (not a computer-expert as I have very limited experience with other os'), an ok hardware-guy, a c++ noob, a gfx artist and a Flash guru!

I noticed that most people here are from the US, but there are any danes or people on vacation i Denmark, please stop by, but ONLY if you have any interest in any of the stuff I mentioned! And NO NOOBS!
Maybe I could mentor you in flash and you could teach me some c++?

Some ***** told me that, allthough Amager is a very small part of Denamrk, 50% of all murders in Denmark are commited on Amager, but please don't let that stupid statistic scare you off.

Listen I won't tie you up.
I wont tie you to a chair and force you to eat green stuff, I grew between my toes, until you proclaim Firefox as the superior browser!

I'm a kind and helpfull guy that likes too draw, hates french class and is interested in computers.

Me thinks you protest too much. :bounce:

Ahh Denmark!, I just love Prague. A walk along the Seine de riveire, the smell of tulips in the air. Oh and the chocolate! You just gotta love those Dutch.

Problem

I live in an out of the way rural area called Co Derry (Doire) in the north of ireland, i dont know if you know the history of our land, but it is quite disturbing, there are frequent murders between the pro Independent nation of ireland (Nationalists) and the anti indepndent nation of ireland (Uionists)

When i turn 18, i plan to move to an area where evryone is carrying a hurl and wearing green, so i can be free on native soil again.

My statement was having some fun at your statement:

It's all good, I know my sentence was completely wrong, that's what was suppose to be SO funny.

Cheers.

Please don't be offended, but I want to clear something up. Do you talk in a gravelly half whisper? Only the whole cast of that travesty that is 'Eastenders' does. If not I feel for your pain and appologise for bringing it up.

I live near Leeds. That's the orrigional, industrial-age city in the north of England. It's in a county called North-Yorkshire and no, none of us in my experience closely resemble the group of stereotypes doubtlessly currently resident on the cast of 'Emerdale'.

For soap-opera fans offended by my comments I can only say,
"Get a hobby, not a passtime."

I'm from Liverpool, UK. Winning the European capital of culture (i have no idea how) has turned this place from being a dump that clung onto the Beatles into a decent, forward looking city again.

Incidentally, my bro lives down in east London now. Lives in docklands on the side of the Thames (in a swanky pad i have to say) not far from Canary Wharf (where he used to work). I always wondered why those people on Eastenders whispered to eachother, though i've never watched more than 5minutes of it in my entire live.
