Ok, this may not be the "appropriate" forum to discuss this, but what do you think about the changes to Nation States?

I like the changes in color and layout, but mauve? Oh, come on! Mauve! ICK! :D

I also like the new "Nation Dates" theme. I even tried it ( just to see what would happen, you understand. *cough* ), but it matched me up with one of my puppets! ROFLMFAO!!!! :D

Here's what I can honestly tell you about the colour used:

It's R 254 G 230 B 230. (RGB scale)

It's C 1 M 11 Y 5 K 0. (CMYK)

It's a desaturated warm red, not unlike a cadmium red (paint pigment) but it is a light tone - there is no trace of black so it couldn't be described as a shade. And yeah - I just checked and it has a saturation index of 10% colour... but it is a pure colour.

So you see... it's not 'mauve' or 'pink' or 'salmon' or any other interior decorator jargon. It's a very light, warm red colour. I like it!

No English cheese. No decent chocolate. No 'east-end-style' pie and mash. No black pudding. No blackcurrant of any kind.... Americans like grape, apparently. No chocolate orange... they prefer peanut...

If you really want good Chinease food in your area, you need to go to Washington D.C.'s pathetic excuse for a Chinatown. Thats where you get the good Chinease food.

Well, I found a really good, and really simple recipe for good Tikka Masala on line. I'll TG it to you later if you want. So easy!

Yeah, the chocolate thing was a real pisser. We found a World Market close by though, we raid the place for chocolate about once a month, that place rocks! They have proper galaxy, milka and cadbury's twirls/flakes/dairy milk. The cost is extortionist, but it's worth it for a taste of home!

And now they're using it to 'match' you with someone very close by to you. Obviously, you don't live within a (insert value here) mile radius of anyone else on NS!

Thats impossible, I live in the suburbs of a large city. I have friends that use NAtionstates! Maybe, they're matching us with nations that have the same IP adress.

Yes! TG me curries! Well, recipes, anyway. (I need to find a way to have curry delivered by email....)

There was an 'English' store about 60 miles from me, but they shut it down a little while after I moved here. Poor fools didn't realise I'd have kept them in business.

And now - I'm off to look at 'expatboxes'... apparently.
