no, i've never been to texas, and i've nothing against it whatsoever.. but you knew that. i've been to disneyland (world? ..can't remember) and sea world, so i think you'll find i know ALL there is to know about america that there could ever be!

English music can rock. But i conversly listen to American stuff. Detroit / Chicago scene mainly. more interesting than most alternative british music... feel free to nick any of my mp3's: http://cakenet.dynu.com/mp3 and actually if anyone can see if my server is set up stupidly, please let me know! I'd recommend the new Papa M album, 'Whatever, Mortal' very nice, featuring will oldham on backing for most of it.

isa... you really think it's a good idea to humiliate your potential employer??? well, on your own head be it!

cool, yeah, i knew that.. but just giving you grief. yeah, anyone who goes to disneyland, that so reflects us americans... especially goofy.
that's cool. it seems i guess to some other peoples music is more interesting, maybe cause were tired of our own.. :) i'l dip in and see what you have sometime.

I suppose I must be surprised at all the Texans and UK members. But maybe that's me since i'm the only one i've seen in an actual IT driven city...I know Microsoft lives here, but the funny thing is that most of the workers won't admit it! LOL

At first I took offense at this. I live in Atlanta; we've got a big IBM regional HQ and Earthlink. Then I remembered we also have Delta, Coke, and this whole 'Gone with the Wind' thing that everyone thinks of first.

Then again, look at where RedHat is HQ'ed, Raleigh North Carolina?!

Still liking the Pacific northwest there Taz?

i think texas is the one of the biggest IT driven states.. got Dell, Compaq, Nortel Networks, AMD.. Texas Instruments... and many others.. lots of dot.coms in the Dallas and Austin area too..

hey... he was patronizing me... and he was wearing a tie. besides... suits always hate techies. it's evolutionary or something. anyway, that was just the hr guy doing initial screening, i think. the tech manager who interviewed me was really cool... i'm hoping that his opinion is the one that matters.

I'm from the state of Arizona in the United States. I dont like Arizona though, but I moved here with my dad and then I got a boyfriend, so it kept me here.

Although now that I dropped his sorry butt, I am considering a move to Southern California (beach girl at heart), or simply going on a long, much deserved vacation to Europe or the Caribbean. I am pretty young, so I want to experience more of life while I still am, and before I have a family.

As far as the music is concerned, I like American alternative for general listening, but believe it or not, I really like to groove and dance to European techno / electronica. I dont like most American pop and dance music. Unfortunately, that is all they play at the clubs down here, so I prefer to go to raves (legal and illegal ones :) .

hey i see 3 asians in the poll... guess i'm not the only one.

i'm from singapore.

for those who don't know, it's a tiny geological dot that spans an extremely vast area of 42km by 24km nestled somewhere in the middle of south east asia. in fact, if u decide to move from the east side of the island to the west, u might just overshoot and end up having to live on a dinghy...

we don't even have enough land to call ourselves a city, much less a state... so there are times when i don't know how to fill up a form on the internet :rolleyes: ... oddly enough, we do have enough spunk to call ourselves a NATION.

the in-thing for music here right now is j-pop, although i believe it's already on a decline... trance seems to be on the upturn.

as for IT-driven, the whole island is wired up to broadband, tho i think not everyone subscribes to it. it is not uncommon to see dinghy dwellers slowly hooking up their 28.8 modems in the morning and wait patiently for the web pages to load as the sun sets the NEXT day...

disclaimer: these comments are greatly exaggerated and are meant to be amusing. it does not in any way seek to detriment the fine city state cum nation nestled in the (blah blah above) that goes by the name of singapore. heck, i live here!

I always thought Singapore would be a neat place to visit.

thank u... u r always welcome here :)

Hey, if you wanted a nice quiet vacation in little old England, Cornwall's your best bet! There's buggar-all here except for grass, cows, hills and a lot of beaches which kick ass for surfing. Hell, Cornwall is one big beach (I'm not kidding, it's not a particularly wide county - surrounded by water, ah, it's bliss). I'm sure the rest of then English posters on this forum will agree!

I plan to visit Europe this next year. There are many places i want to visit, and I will have to see if my travel plans I made would allow a brief stop in Cornwall.

The next time someone post,s a question like this, can they include the UK as an option please because I had to vote european and I hate that because i,m british and dont class myself as european.

Just a little gripe:mad:

Thx for listening

well, sorry.. but as i see it.. there are 7 continents so i listed them.. i didn't want to list all 140 or more countries.. and if i did list just britain, and the rest of the continents.. that wouldn't seem fair to pick them out of everyone else's home country. :D
