what do I know about the towns of British Apolytoners... first I thought it's MikeH, but he's an emperor.... so it's big Crunch, makes sense now...

so it is even more surprising he actually voted for me on the most recent popularity contest (won by Snapcase, what an irony, which is not a sidenote against Snapcase), but then he's always been ... a nice guy

Not a lot obviously. Kent is not a town, so you would say I live in a Kentish town, but of course not in "Kentish Town" which is not in Kent but in north London. Confused, you will be.

I could ask a mod to change my name? That would be nice. I did not mean to me Playa del Carme. I was shooting for Playa del Carmen.

Those connotation are also there in Spanish.

But the correct form would be "Playa de la Carne".

They do when you do that
Your last 10 or so Community/Apolyton posts (except your ignore list thread) has been some comment about how much people are spamming.
Remember: When you complain about the huge traffic queue, you are part of it too.
