only fair I place a story here about My Maternal Home town
of Landikotal..where the concerns are..umm..slightly
different from the rest..a lot of you may not relate to some
of it but this news item had me...ROFL...

Read about my home town, albeit in a horribly sanitised
form :)

Why have they got a Union Jack flag for the English language
version?

I was thinking the same thing:)

Cant help but remind me of..."The Secret Life of Michael
Fry." has anybody seen that?..One of the most awesome made
for Television Dramas ever:)

Because they're from Barry and about as smart as a single
cell life form/They're subconconciously trying to make welsh
people not feel part of the Uk by saying English is the
language of the UK....

Flea:
Even the council aren't that stupid. Putting pictures
of the town would not encourage people to go there...

I think its taking irony to an extreme. Two blokes dancing
ahnd in hand would be severely kicked in, in Bally (that's
how you pronounce it).

I've have to correct you there Jonesy, it's pronounced,
"Bally, like".

He he, it looks like one "supermarket sveg" the s has
dropped down from "supermarket's veg" ;)

Jonesy: How can you say such hurtful things about Barry? And
you call yourself a socialist... I thought you'd empathise
with the laid off, malcontent dockers?

Flea: Yes, Penarth Pier is nice, my mums mate has a flat
overlooking it. It's a nice quiet seaside town, not full of
arcades & chippies :)

Dunno, haven't been since I moved here. I went when I was

think it's like £4 or something...

"Vantaanjoki virtaa läpi Nurmijärven. Joella ja sen
koskialueilla voi meloa ja kalastaa ja rantamilla retkeillä
monimuotoisen jokiluonnon keskellä kivenheiton päässä
Helsingistä."

??? Whaaa? What ever it said... the pic next to it is
luuvvvvly! :D

it says:

the river vantaanjoki flows trough nurmijärvi. at the river
and its rabids you can paddle or fish, and on the banks you
can hike in the middle of a diverse river nature. all this
only a stones throw away from helsinki.
