What are you known for here?

[No Names Left Damn It]

Um... did they build another Birmingham or something?

"North of" doesn't mean "in", GnI.

[Grave_n_idle]

I don't think I am known anymore.

I thought you were known for being 'hawt'?

[Eofaerwic]

grew up in Belgium,

Oh dear God it just gets worse and worse, doesn't it?

There is no hope for me.

On the other hand, at least I have nothing to do with Birmingham (even if it's just close proximity)

No, I meant a Birmingham where the people are known for solidness and intelligence and sophistication.

So - a totally different Birmingham to the one I know...

[Galloism]

I'm known for being a Naughty Elemental, according to one poster.

Fire, air, earth, or water?

Naughtiness.

Ah, Hammurab.

I miss him.

Just born there, grew up in Belgium, currently living in York. So really I can claim to be at once a Southerner, a Northerner and Foreign.

Thankfully however I have nothing to do with the Midlands *shudder*

I was born in Suffolk, grew up (for the first part of my life) in Pakistan, and currently live in Oxfordshire. So while I don't have the "north" bit, I beat you on foreignness

I've been accused of being Posh Totty by guild-mates on teamspeak.

Yes?

There's nothing wrong with 'having something to do with' Birmingham.... they have a perfectly adequate airport, for example. It's fine to pass through Birmingham.

Birmingham's a hellhole lol, doesn't count.

That's how I remember The Beautiful Darkness.

No. At least Pakistan has a culture that vaguely resembles the rest of humanity. Belgium is just creepy and empty. It's like walking into 28 Days Later. The few people you do come across just shout incoherently then throw up blood in your face.

Tsk, you can't just declare cities as 'not counting' - else I'm discounting Leeds from the North!

35 odd miles north isn't that close. You can't make out the concrete at least.

That's cheating! Leeds is firmly in the North! However I could probably find a way of counting Birmingham as part of the Black Country, then having the Black Country discounted as part of the Midlands on the grounds of the inhabitants not speaking English or actually being human.

Ah... you went in August didn't you? When Brussels becomes deserted by everyone with enough money to afford a holiday home in the south of France (or even the Ardennes or the seaside at a pinch).

Good food and beer though!

March, actually, and I didn't go as far north as Brussels.

Again, I could get Leeds out on that criteria! And you'd end up having to get rid of Norfolk and Lincolnshire too and then what are you left with? Nothing but the M1 linking up North and South

Some would argue that's a small price to pay for getting rid of Lincolnshire...

True, but if we wait a few years, the rising sea levels will probably take care of the problem for us.

[Neo Art]

Not got a clue what I'm known for, if anything. Think my post count is still too low - and the unpronounceable name I've been told doesn't help.

I remember you as the gay girl who wears top hats *nods*

You what? Leeds isn't in the Black Country. And, come to think of it, Norfolk isn't in the Midlands, it's East Anglia.

I meant in terms of not being human and failing to speak English - though then I'd also have to get rid of Newcastle and I'm quite fond of the place. And the Black Country is... well it's the Black Country, I can't really argue with that one.

Depends who you ask on Norfolk, I've seen people put it in the Midlands before.

Well, I remember you posting a picture of you wearing a top hat, and I know you mentioned a girlfriend before. I know you and I have talked about more than that (and perhaps I should amend my statement to include "british") but that's the intellectual shortcut my mind goes to when seeing your posts

It's my little mental image of you, have one for just about everyone I recognize as posters.

Well I don't know what the fuck they were smoking. It's the most East Anglian part of East Anglia.
