Does 'Overseas' include Northern Ireland SM? Literally and geographically it is overseas from Doncaster, but politically it is not outside of the UK!

I registered. We are in 59th place. Only good thing the Dingles are below us.

Done & still 58th. At the current count there's 19 of us living abroad!

Do us living in Bentley count as living overseas? The River Don is full of Humber water which comes from the North sea, so do we qualify?

Lived in Germany previously and hoping to go back in January.

I suspect a few young uns have got confused and thought that was the name of teenagers' bedrooms.

Speaking of teenagers, if we get the Louis fans to sign up we'll be top by miles.

BobG · « **Reply #21 on** June 06, 2015, 11:32:53 am by BobG »

And speaking of diplomats, during the Firestarter years there was a Donny bloke living and working in the British Embassy in Brasilia. He was a keen Rovers fan. We swapped a fair few emails and ideas at the time. Wonder where he is now?

Hello to all i was number 135 and were in 48th place

rtidfco · « **Reply #23 on** June 07, 2015, 02:29:47 pm by rtidfco »

The FCO Diplomat would be me. Never been to the BVI and last time I checked there were 3 Rovers fans in the FCO. Not bad out of only 4,000 worldwide staff at any one time with half of us home at any one time.
Since Brasilia I've been in Brunei and Bahrain from where I managed to get to the Paintpot at Cardiff and an even better day at Wembley. Have another week left here (can't say where at the moment) but may also be bound for similar. Sounds mysterious but better to say less than more on any form of social media. Always RTID though

Good to hear from you, 007.

Hey! Hi!!! It's wonderful to hear from you again. All things come to those who wait I guess. Even a relatively decent footy team

I understand the meaning of the lack of detail. I would be similarly unable to mention where I have spent the last 2 years plus. I am the only Rovers supporter though amongst a collective total of over 5000.

PS Wearing my Sherlock hat you, rtidfco, are either a long term lurker on here, or, you have a friend who alerted you to my post. I wish I could work out which! Lol

RedJ · « **Reply #27 on** June 07, 2015, 05:23:55 pm by RedJ »

I couldn't tell you where I was last night but that's probably considerably less mysterious...
