EDIT!!!! GUYS YOU ARE ALL LEGENDS I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU FOUND HIM! I've been searching for years and you guys found him in a day! <3 <3 Thank you all so, so, so, SO much for the help and support! My mind is blown! Just as I remember, Aussies really are the most AMAZING people in the world. If I ever get back down to Australia you can bet you're all Getting PM's to beer and BBQ (I'll make american BBQ seeing as I've been living in the south lately and can't compete with yours) :P Thank you so much! you've all helped reunite me with someone I consider family. You don't know what this means to me!
All the details I have; I was a kid when I knew him. like 8-12. He was like a second father to me, or a really cool uncle. I miss the HELL out of him and lost contact when I lost all of my mum's email info after she passed. She used aliases for us both (mum.....had issues) Her name was Susan back then. Paul would babysit me and took us to a beach park with a huge slide in a hill. introduced me to pokemon before it came out in australia via a rom on his pc.
He owned a tech repair shop back then and moved on to working at universities as a IT guy after we left. I searched the Adelaide uni sites for their employee's with no luck.
his 2 girls would stay at our house when he had them and we were good friends.
I don't know where or how to seek him out. Any ideas?
We lived in morphet vale I think. I don't know where he lived in town. He knew us through his friend Wayne. and mum dated a biker named Geno after, to add details that may jog a memory from one of his kids if they're on here or something.
She also interacted with fans and sang songs like Cutting The Wire, Euphoria and Still Breathing! Oh, and she was wearing Mickey pajamas.
Drew literally said “I feel like I’m part of the French underground”. Yeah all right chomo.
Me: Sure, because when they send email, they don’t care if you’re up.
I think my country is not so known in world, so please ask me anything about my country. And yes, we were part of communist block before 1989.
I’m half Italian and half Somali.
Somali Diapora communities in Europe are mainly based in the North Sea area.
These include: Britain (110,000), Sweden (65,000), Norway (40,000), the Netherlands (40,000), Germany (40,000), Denmark (20,000) and Finland (20,000). Communities exist in other countries but are lower than 10,000. Many Somalis in these countries have family in other European countries. Somali-Europeans migrating between countries is common too, although most Somali-European migration happens into the UK, for example around 20,000 of the Somalis in Britain are Dutch-Born.
Areas like Camden, Harlesden, Southall, Northolt, Greenford, Acton, Leyton, Walthamstow, Tottenham, Tower Hamlets, Manor Park, Hayes and many more areas of London have thousands of Somalis each.
Italian Diaspora: According to Wikipedia, the countries in Europe with the highest amount of people with Italian ancestry outside of Italy (and Switzerland too since most of Switzerland’s ethnic Italians are native-Swiss) include France (1,530,000), Germany (970,000), Belgium (450,000), Britain (230,000), Spain (190,000) and surprising Russia (50,000). 10,000-30,000 Italians also live in the following countries: Austria, Luxembourg, Croatia, Albania, Portugal and Poland.
As for England, the strongest self-contained Italian communities are ones of Southern-origin who have been here for generations.
These include:
Clerkenwell: (and the rest of Islington Borough and Camden Borough): often known as London’s Little Italy, which has been home to Italians since 1850’s, with the community being centred around the ‘St Peter’s Italian Church’ which does services in Italian. During migrations from Southern Italy in the 40’s and 50’s the area was re-populated by new waves of Italians, with the area becoming a focal point for new Italian migrants nowadays (from both North and South Italy but mainly South Italy). I couldn’t find out how many Italians live here and in neighbouring areas (Camden, Islington, Holloway, Holborn, etc) but as a resident I’d guess several thousands of Italians live in Clerkenwell and nearby neighbourhoods.
Bedford: a large town in England which is home to 14,000 Italians (including British-born Italians) out of a population of 100,000. This is mainly as a result of labour recruitment in the early 1950s by the London Brick Company from Southern Italy (mainly Campanian and Apulian). The town made local news for ‘disorder’ after Italy knocked out England in the 2012 Eur
