A Scot! I grew up in Scotland, Zoe. I even went to school near Edinburgh for a couple of years. (I live in Germany now, though).

(FTR, I love the UnAmerican name, although I've never been wild about the Anya quote.)

Edit: I think I'm the Buffista closest to central Europe, being, you know, in it.

I know one person who fled this page because of the thread titles, but that was because she thought we were trashing the shows since the titles were humorous and mocking. I could understand someone reading it and being offended, but if they took the time to read the thread, they'd get that the title wasn't really indicative...hmm, this is reminding me about that whole thing about people who won't watch BtVS because they can't get past the title.

Actually, the title could seem confusing, since there are a lot of people living in America who now define themselves as un-American - in fact I often refer to myself as a member of the axle of evil. Or one could even interpret the "all ogle - no cash" as this being the thread for links to free porn.

I keep hearing this, I'm working on the assumption that the more people love for the show the better.

For values of people that equal people with Nielsen boxes, sure.

None of them post here (now that Steph's excursion is done), and none of them are living outside the US.

I'm a 1/2 Irish Scot with an English step-family. Yes Am-Chau you are significantly closer to central Europe than I am! -iss gut ja? Fiona where about were you at school? I'm Dunfermline born (like Andrew Carnegie) I came to Edinburgh for university.

iss gut ja?

Ja, si, muy gut.

(Behold! I can mix up European languages of which I only know three words each despite having studied them for two years in one case and three in the other! I can also do the funny German accent but when I try to do the John Cleese walk that goes with it I always fall over!)

Zoe, - personal details deleted. Email me if you missed them -

I don't know Dunfermline very well, but the Perth to Edinburgh bus passes through it.

Ed. Uni or Heriot Watt?

Ed. Uni. My Dad used to teach at Napier. No connection to Heriot.

Er, just for the record: My parents were victims of the McCarthy Era. Actually lost everything and had to start over because of it. And a great many of my family's closest friends suffered in similar ways. And I never for a moment found the title even slightly offensive. But, you know, that's just me.

Ooh, I have people in Dunfermline. Neat. I was six or seven the only time I was there, though.

ALL my non-sibling relatives are UnAmerican. Hell, actually, when push comes to shove, the only USian-by-birth in my generation are my brother and myself.

I *love* the UnAmerican title. It's part of Buffista culture. Lots of things that are part of Buffista culture take a little getting used to, seeing as the language is almost its own dialect at this point.

I would hate to see it lost because it might cause some "eeps" to the unfamiliar-with-our-ways. It's a term in context which I love as much as I love NonUSian.
