Imagine if you lived in Dodge city, and there was a barroom brawl, you wouldnt be able to say 'its like Dodge here', because it already is. if you see what I mean



yawn. bored

James Mason wasn't too enamoured with his home town if memory serves...

[AlfredJPruffock]

In my little town -
I never meant nothing

I was just my fathers son

Saving my money

Dreaming of glory

Twitching like a finger
On the trigger of a gun

Leaving nothing but the dead and dying
Back in my little town

[Churchill]

I can't stand the place where I grew up (Parsons Green, Fulham). It's full of horrible stuck up yuppie types paying stupid money to live in a shoe box. Aweful aweful place..

Tell us about the quality of the local educational establishments...

What about your own home towns? Still live there, get teary eye thinking about the place or would you rather the bulldozers moved in?

I moved around a lot when young. but spent from 5y/o to 17y/o in a tiny hamlet in northern canada. I reckon it kept me outta trouble because everyone knew everyone else, so crime was pretty low. It was surrounded by native reserves however which had its social effects - mucho drunkeness.

After that I've never lived anywhere more than 10years. I'm already now planning where to move next. The wife wants Madeira, I'd like to go to Calgary, Canada.

I'd have thought McTavish's in Oban would've been more suitable for Troll...

I visited there on a few occasions with English Army mates of mine. Even drank in Rabbies with them. None of them got picked on.
I expect in your case the fight started simply due to your innate twuntishness. With your outlook I expect getting your head kicked in is never much further away than a gormless mouth opening. Could happen anywhere, probably does.

Got into a fight in Rabbies bar for the crime of being English...it must have been the accent.

Weee doyn't be loikin dem toooorists roynd deez 'ere paaaarts.......

When I worked in Maine the most common bumper sticker I saw on cars was;

'Welcome to Maine. Now spend your money and **** off'

The second most common was;

'Welcome to Maine. If you're lucky you'll catch lobster, if you're unlucky you'll catch crabs'

I found it quite a friendly place

Yorkshire. Yorktulipe. Just spend a week up there. Most unfriendly people in the Country. If you don't want tourists, don't open tea rooms FFS.

I have a problem defining what my "home town" is.

Yorkshire will always be my home, even though I'm not from Yorkshire and now live in Lancashire.

Don't think Gwent had been thought of in 1963 mate It was County Monmouth Hospital.

OK Fair point. didnt know it was called that though.

Only recent resident of Zooport me. Blessed with being born and bred in the valleys.

[TestMangler]

Best of both worlds then really!

Llanmartin, unfortunately, counts as Zooport. Unless you were born at home I'd guess you were born at the Royal Gwent though.
