"Your home on the internet"

[cilamc]

Here I go again, topic-starting, but I was thrilled to find my little sea-sidey SHITTY sleepy home town has its own wep-page. http://www.balbriggan.net Replete with a local character photo section IN OTHER WORDS PICTURES OF THE OLD SHITS WHO COME TO GLOAT OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE!!! And it is sweet to see a special "trick photography" section in the photos of the town page WHY THE FUCK DOES ANYONE WANT TO SEE TRICK PHOTOGRAPHY ON A SITE LIKE THIS? The message board is lovely, all those names I remember so fondly from my childhood. BULLIES.

My  home's homepage has stirred up mixed feelings in me, if your town has a site, put it here why don't you and we can all see what you're really made of.

The Skyrack in Headingley

Been in there a few times.  My mate lives around the corner.

The sites about where I live now are absolutely fascinating...

Palmers Green is a place in the London Borough of Enfield in London, England.

Stop, you're swamping me with information.  I can't write all that down quick enough.  London, you say, and where would I find that?...

The village where I grew up is rather better served by the internet, not least because it holds a place in English folklore.



All jokes about me being a fairy were exhausted long ago.

EDIT: If you click on "Special Events" you will see that nothing has happened between 17 July 1917 and 30 September 2002.

A combination of twin set and pearls, rich tea biscuit crumbs in old ladies beards and an overwhelming smell of death. Pretty though.Oh and smugglers.

Oh yes. About five miles from Hertford there lies a little village that nobody has heard of, inhabited by the cast of Deliverance.  Just turn right at the burning cross.



Me, Yesterday.


Hertford's a lovely place. I'll put you down as a Baroosh & Zero's regular, Gaz. ;-)

[Partridge's Love Child]

I cycled to Hertford last week.  The signs lie about how far it is, and it's impossible to get off the A10 without getting lost.  It wasn't the mileage I was worried about, more the fact that it was getting dark and I was getting further and further from my house.  At one point I'd formed the theory that Hertford doesn't actually exist.  I've still seen nothing more of it than the sign saying that you're there.  I'm deeply suspicious.

I used to live round the corner too...In Lupton Flats near where the last ripper victim was found.

In fact, I went in there with my Guyanan and Yugoslavian flatmates. I used to have to translate one's heavily accented English into the others heavily accented English.

We walked in and the Yugoslavian smacked his hand down on the bar, gestured expansively at us and shouted, 'BEER!!!' He was very suprised to learn about the various types we have.

His first words to me were, "Where are women???"

Sorry, I seem to have rambled on boringly for several paragraphs.

It does exist...I'm sitting in it right now!!! Next time you plan to do such a thing, let me know and I'll throw a bucket of water over you when you arrive.

[Partridge's Love Child]

I'll bet that the water isn't even real.  You'll throw it at me, I'll make a girly scream noise and it'll turn out to be a bucket of glitter.  Then you'll put a custard pie down my cycle shorts and make the wheels fall off my bike.

Kelvin the Clown has a certain ring to it.

And a certain mongability.


You guys. I just got caught up doing a photographic tour of my birthplace, all wibbly nostalgia. I'm never sure if I like that feeling. It's like a watered down version of what happens when you jarr your spine and taste iron. I live there now. This thread's boring. Go and listen to my grate tape, you two.

[Partridge's Love Child]

my birthplace

I saw this on that site:

and I immediately thought of: .

Go and listen to my grate tape, you two.

Oopsy.  Not got around to that yet.

[Jemble Fred]

There's not much to get excited about here http://www.ludlow.org.uk/ or here, http://www.ludlowcastle.com but this is a very nice site for Salopians, with an interesting tale I recently re-wrote for my nephew, Robin's Arrow: http://www.mythstories.com/index1.html

What's a lot scarier, if you come from a small place, is the website for the US version: http://www.ludlow.ma.us/. Just like Sandford and Son, I bet it's a travesty in comparison.

I now live here, http://www.thisisbath.co.uk but, please Christ, not for long.

The boards at my birthplace contain mostly this one post, reposted in all fora...

WARNING Tanya McCormick of bishops cleeve is an evil drug addict. She makes her living by swindling people out of their life savings and should not be trusted.

That's the Cotswolds for you, all pretty limestone bridges and buttercups.

Where you can see that this "village" has one crap bakers, no greengrocer, no butcher, but fuck knows how many restaurants for the residents of Kings Hill (home of one of the UKs most expensive and desirable post codes) to sup champagne in.

Apart from that, its alright I suppose.

I have never lived here but went to school there for seven years.  The message list starts off quite boring but gets going when someone has the nerve to suggest opening a Yates' in the high street.  Car crash material for the brain.

[TraceyQ]

Why is everything "grate" all of a sudden? I dunno, going off and getting pissed without me. I'll be cancelling your clique membership if you're not careful.

I was in the pub that has a "virtual guide" on this site tonight. The beer was shite. Had a grate curry at Planet Spice afterwards, though.

Walsall. It's not in Poland.

Cos they drink in my pub.
