Europe's Archinectors

bigness

just wanted to check how many european archinectors (residing in europe, regardless of where they come from) there are, as a matter of curiosity. I always regarded archinect as a predominantly american site, but i might be wrong!
so state where you are, and while you're at it, teach everybody a swearword in thw country's language!

italy.
vaffanculo!

kut! great dutch swear word. same as cunt, (i can't believe i just wrote that) for some reason that word just isnt acceptable. but interestingly, the dutch do seem to use kut quite alot. or maybe i just hang around the bad crowd.

does the great firewall [of China] block archinect?
i guess that would make sense...

well, there will be a position opening soon in the firm i'm at at the moment. stay tuned.

i have a friend's girlfriend in china for a few months, i can sk her to cherck, but i think Archinect knows.

what i think about archinect's data it that it might be based on profiles alone, and there are many that register but never post.

so they may not post, bigs, but they do read (or stare blankly at the letters on the screen, who knows...)...

so, Archinect, can you view the site from China?

i love the thought of archinect being paul who, when logged in as archinect, walks and talks like a robot around his office.

Actually I'm in London right now. Does that mean I can still play this topic? What determines Europeanism? EU membership?

Well, there are still a lot of people in the UK who would rather not be lumped in with continental Europe. And probably vice-versa...

...but then I'm just a simple boy from the colonies. What the heck would I know? :)

'putana' sounds more like italian for 'bitch'.. but then in certain parts of BCN you have more languages mixed than in Corbu's UNO HQ!

huh. the only place name i found in lincolnshire on google maps was boston, and it didn't look very big. and what is this "the wash"?

Truth is Boston isn't very big, tiny compared to its american counterpart.

However it also plays a small part of the History of America, the Pilgrim Fathers were arrested and imprisoned in Boston in 1607 whilst attempting to charter a boat to take them to Amsterdam, just one of the steps on their eventual passage to settlement in America.
