ArtistInTheAmbulance 12-10-2009 03:08 PM

thankyou ^^ i am in walking distance of 4 (nice) beaches, it is lovely really :) i used to go down in the mornings and take a life-threateningly cold swim before i went to college! since then i've seen sense : P but it is still lovely having them there. :)

FETCHER. 12-10-2009 03:15 PM

The boat picture is awesome too :D.

ArtistInTheAmbulance 12-10-2009 03:18 PM

:) we had johnny depp turn up there once to film, of course all the local, toothy gals came wobblin' out of the pubs, warbling for him :) it was fun really.

sidewinder 12-10-2009 03:20 PM

Very nice, AITA.

We should have a thread called "Where are you REALLY from?" that shows what the non-scenic/postcard side of our city/neighborhood looks like. :laughing:

ArtistInTheAmbulance 12-10-2009 03:40 PM

:( would i have to post the pictures from after dark? they might have a lot more drugs/stabbings in than these pictures!

music_phantom13 12-10-2009 04:10 PM

Centreville, Virginia, which quite honestly really sucks.

Here's one of the only pictures I could find:

http://www.saulcenters.com/propertie...images/GNC.jpg

It's basically a lot of those, and besides that lots of typical boring suburban neighborhoods.

The nearest city is DC, which I don't really like (besides being close to a city that really does have some great venues). There's a couple good record stores as well, but really it doesn't interest me that much. People tend to be very reserved or tourists.

Taunton is very similar in sounding to the Tuantaun.

Who lives in Seattle again? I'm moving there in about a year- looking for some insight...

You should never ask a man where's he's from.
If he comes from Manchester...he'll tell you. If he doesn't, then you'll just embarrass the poor bastard.

You've been around the world, is there any other place you'd want to live? And what are some of the things you don't like about the (obvs) greatest city in the world?

loveissucide 12-29-2009 02:38 PM

Manchester is where you go when you die if you were good during life.Everyone knows that.

FETCHER. 12-29-2009 02:40 PM

Is manchester heaven? I was always brought up to believe that.

On where I'd like to live...probably doesn't exist.
It would have to look like New England in the fall, have a non existent crime level and be populated by friendly people.

Manchester...to be honest, it's not the prettiest place to live.
Not including the city centre or the more affluent outskirts of the city...it's a shithole of a place.
But...people make places. And that's why (to me) it's the greatest city in the world.
The people here are naturally talented and unbearably self confident and are without doubt the friendliest and most welcoming people on God's earth.
And anyone who says any differently can fuck right off!!!

Where's the punchline? ^

My home town of Athlone, it's right bang in the centre of Ireland. I moved to Dublin for a few years when i was younger and then moved back here again.

littleknowitall 12-29-2009 05:19 PM

Swansea, Wales.

Here I typed 'Swansea' into youtube and this was the first thing that came up. Wasn't out that night but had I been I'd have probably been lurking around this area.



I remember this too made the news all around the world, a couple of cage fighters on a night out dressed as drag queens and these idiots basically saw an oppertunity to start on some blokes dressed as women (not the best idea in this case) and got an absolute pasting. Was well good.

Here are some interesting photos of my island (the rocky desert side of it) I found via google Earth

^ Wow, it's so beautiful adidasss! Amazing, I'm jealous.

This is pretty much my backyard:

On the peninsula not far from Melbourne. My current house backs onto it! Not one of Australia's best beaches and the photo doesn't really do it justice. I guess I'm kind-of lucky but to be honest I take it for granted.

FETCHER. 12-29-2009 06:28 PM

^ This is my beach.
