Ask Getty anything.

[john getty]

I'll try to be as forthcoming as I can.

Okay, is Lancashire a different city than Lancaster?

 

[john getty]

Lancashire's a county that Lancaster is apart of.

 

[paracarl44]

Did you know that we have a Lancaster County and a Lancaster City here in Pennsylvania?

(Named after the English City).

 

[john getty]

Yeah, you also have a New England, a Birmingham and a Manchester you thieving gets.

 

[venray]

How did you "discover" the TMF and what made you post your first time?

 

[john getty]

I was creeping around here for a while, discreetly on my mother's computer, then I got my own flat and laptop and never really thouht of joining, but I was under the impression that I could post here without being a member. Someone posted here somewhere about the Maid Marion tickle scene in the episode Bouncy Sheriff, so I bought the DVD and discovered NO tickle scene and thought it was only right to warn you all in case you spent a fiver on it like I did. When I discovered I couldn't post, I messaged the site and got a response from Myriads who corrected it by making me a member. That's why my name is John Getty here, the site asked my name and I didn't think at that point I could make something up, otherwise I'd probably have called myself something more funky.

Hey buddy. How has your experience been here so far?

Great thanks Tom, (I remembered to quote this time), like the rest of you I always thought I was weird, but this many people can't be wrong, it's good to be among my own people.

Excellent my friend. I was mighty unsure of this place myself. I was made to feel welcome very quickly though. What is one place you would love to visit this year that you have never been?

 

[paracarl44]

^We also have a York here and it is thirty miles from Lancaster. These cities have a "War Of Roses" between them like when they play baseball.^

Aye, and there's a Newcastle in New South Wales in Australia. You'd think these younger countries might have had a bit of fun naming new places, I suppose they had more important things on their mind.

Are you a history buff? New Amsterdam was the name of New York City when the Dutch colonized it.

Surely you've heard of Henry Hudson who has a river named for him where an airplane made an emergency landing last January?

Nope, excuse my ignorance.

Well, I'm glad to hear it, but do you have any questions for me?

 

[paracarl44]

Have you ever been on an airplane?

 

[john getty]

When I was a kid My mum and her boyfriend (ex) took my sister and I to Florida. I don't remember much of it to be honest. Most of that holiday was centred around conflict within the household, just another country to argue in.

 

[paracarl44]

Have you been on an ocean cruise?
