we're not allowed out between the hours of 7pm and 6am, but we are permitted to use the internet. so, you'll find we're on a lot of forums. but not porsche ones as we don't really have much time for germans or cars with engines in the wrong place.

I was just using it as an example, I wasn't looking for everyone's validation of my car tastes (and like I said, I'm no longer much into Porsches).

But, I can understand your bitterness... considering that the Germans took your Mini.

i was joking.

i love the bmw mini. i had one until someone stole it.
 
Jeepers, that's a tad defensive, is it not?

Probably.

I used the example of Porsche car forums to illustrate my point that other hobbyist websites don't have as much UK participation. Apparently, that point got lost in the red mist of "I hate Porsches" comments that followed.

oh well
 
OP: I don't know the answer to your question. I like that there are english speaking people from all over the world on MR, and not just because english is my native language.

I understand you're asking purely out of curiosity, and the closest thing to an answer I can think of is the fact that this is a nice site for Apple owners (and those considering). Personally, if I had to pay VAT, I would research the hell out of anything expensive prior to buying, and this is a great place for such.

I'm glad it's the world wide web, and not limited to any one (or few) nations. I've traveled to other nations quite a bit in my time, and have found that wherever I go, people are pretty much the same.
 
Now is the time for me to say this...

I LOVE ENGISH PEOPLE!!!!

They are the best. Oh, and their accents *shakes* Their accents make me melt.:cool:

BRITS=SEXY

Bet you haven't heard the Liverpool accent. The vocal equivalent of six month old bacon (** runs for the hills, too afraid to look back **)

Yea, the Scouse accent is quite weird. As a fan of both Red Dwarf and Coronation Street I hear it, or at least a close approximation from Craig Charles.

TEG
 
Fer chrissakes. Pick nits much? Did you really think I was basing my question on registered users and not actual posts?

You're asking me to tell you what your question meant?

That's why I clarified. ;)
I say we send them a prize.

Nonsense. Some fool decided to give them Madonna and now they won't trust us ever again.

I LOVE ENGISH PEOPLE!!!!

Show some love for the Welsh, Scots, and Irish will you!

And Aussies/Kiwis are sexy too. ;)
 
I googled "apple mac forums" and after a bit of browsing this seemed to be the most interesting one, i didnt take into account were it was based.
 
Its not just here. Plenty of site I go to have lots of people from the UK. Hell, I used to go to a forum where I was virtually the only Canadian.

We were in the kitchen. Well, the Maritimers, anyhoo.

Warm welcome to the Brits. After all, Canucks sing God Save the Queen too, although some of use mean Scott Thompson. Beats Helen Mirren as Elizabeth any day.
 
because this is where it's at and the world is starting to catch on. :D

The majority of us registered to point out that the forum's name is misspelt and ended up stopping.

HAHA, so true. I got so annoyed the first couple of months after typing in macrumours.com that I ended up trying to buy the domain name just so I didn't keep misspelling it. Unfortunately some sod had already got it :(.
