UK + ireland regional poll

[scarletghoul]

Just wondering..

[Quail]

I've put Yorkshire and Humberside, but I'm originally from the East Midlands and still spend some time there with my parents.

[TC]

Irish Free State? Isn't that a bit anachronistic?

[ed miliband]

London born and raised.

Maybe Leeds from September (or Nottingham). I'm kind of worried that I'll grow bored of any city that isn't the size of Lonson.

[Angry Young Man]

I think the nearest one to that is Cairo.

[Il Medico]

Shit AYM is back! What up yo!

[Angry Young Man]

Yea I'm cool beanz. Looks like I'm repping the West Country alone. No mean feat for a Yorkshire lad.

ED: Didn't realise I was remembered, let alone missed. Sam_B still the barrel of laughs he was before I left?

[Sam_b]

It's Sam_b you idiot.

[Lyev]

ED: Didn't realise I was remembered, let alone missed. Sam_B still the barrel of laughs he was before I left?I am south-west also!

[Angry Young Man]

It's Sam_b you idiot.

Sorry for thinking the initial letter of your surname deserves capitalisation :(

And Lyev, yea, but you're from Taunton! Your gene pool is like a puddle left after a light rain

[Il Medico]

I remember you due to your ridiculous assertion the Shelly is better than Byron. :p

Also, chat chat has been pretty trite. Needs more of the good posters to come back. Pretty much just PU and Wolfie is the new addition. Rest have been crap.

Oh, and how long ago did you leave? (Curious to know if you're scratching your head to who this il medico fella is.)

And SamB is always a barrel of laughs.

[Angry Young Man]

You're the Dr. You superimposed David Tennant's head over a photo you took of yourself standing naked with a skull so you could imagine him doing Naked Hamlet. Gone for a little continental flavour, I see.

[scarletghoul]

urgh i hate yorkshire accents.. i hope those 3 people are from 'humberside' whatever that is

[Angry Young Man]

Love you too, Eddy me old buh

[scarletghoul]

:tt1:

[Angry Young Man]

Not in that way. Can't have my babies coming out with too many fingers.

Or too few.

Or on the feet instead.

I'm actually performing in naked Hamlet in March. That was my audition photo, not super imposed, btw, I just happen to look remarkably like him. And given my famous narcissism, its no wonder I'm infatuated with him. :tt1:

And yes, roman holiday and what not.

As I said:

I've put Yorkshire and Humberside, but I'm originally from the East Midlands and still spend some time there with my parents.
So no Yorkshire accent here.
Although my son's going to grow up here and pick up the accent from school. Perhaps I should consider moving :lol:

[Angry Young Man]

Nah bring him up in Yorks. That way he might learn which side of a picket line you're meant to be on

And Lyev, yea, but you're from Taunton! Your gene pool is like a puddle left after a light rainPeople from Bristol say this about Taunton, Tauntonians say it about those from Bridgwater, but who do people from Bridgwater say it about? It's kinda like that Monty Python sketch. I still count as a proper south-westerner at any rate :glare:

[Angry Young Man]

If you mean the class system sketch, I thought that was the two Ronnies.

Anyway, Bristol's the de facto capital of the West Country, so everywhere's inbred compared. And Taunton shouldn't really look down their nose at anyone for having a gene paddling pool except for the Habsburg dynasty. Move to Briz: we have multi-coloured terraces.

[RedAnarchist]

I voted for North West England as I'm from Lancashire.

*points and laughs at AYM*

[Angry Young Man]

Dunno what you find funny, Betty's hot pot!

[RedAnarchist]

Dunno what you find funny, hot pot!

Yorkshire. That's what I find funny.

[Angry Young Man]

Aye, we're renowned for our sense of humour. Not like you miserable bastards :p

[RedAnarchist]

Aye, we're renowned for our sense of humour. Not like you miserable bastards :p

You misunderstand the reason why I'm laughing at Yorkshire.

[Angry Young Man]

I'd understand more easily if you stopped talking through your nose.

[Il Medico]

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

[human strike]

Westcountry born and raised. ;)

[bricolage]

People from Bristol say this about Taunton, Tauntonians say it about those from Bridgwater, but who do people from Bridgwater say it about? It's kinda like that Monty Python sketch. I still count as a proper south-westerner at any rate :glare:
Why does Bridgwater smell so bad?

[Lord Testicles]

Yorkshire, but not for long.

[Lyev]

Why does Bridgwater smell so bad?Well it used to smell because there was this plastics factory or something, but now that has closed down. It probably still smells because there is lots of kebab shops or something? - short answer: too many backward proles.
And yeah that sketch is the two ronnies, but it's got John Cleese in also.

[bricolage]

When did it close down? I swear it smelt sort of plastic when I was there.

He makes it sound so complicated...

[Lyev]

When did it close down? I swear it smelt sort of plastic when I was there.Maybe a few years ago, I am not sure. Taunton is where I am nearest, I don't know Bridgwater that well.

The video mentions that the independent countries still recognising the crown doesn't mean a terrible lot, as the crown holds little real power. But what then is this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_Australian_constitutional_crisis)?


The 1975 Australian constitutional crisis (sometimes called "the Dismissal") has been described as the greatest political crisis and constitutional crisis in Australia's history. It culminated on 11 November 1975, with the removal of the Prime Minister, Gough Whitlam of the Australian Labor Party (ALP), by Governor-General Sir John Kerr. Kerr then appointed the Leader of the Opposition Malcolm Fraser as caretaker Prime Minister.

The Governor-General (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor-General_of_Australia) of course being:


The Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia is the representative in Australia at federal/national level of the Australian monarch (currently Queen Elizabeth II).

[bricolage]

Maybe a few years ago, I am not sure. Taunton is where I am nearest, I don't know Bridgwater that well.
Oh right I was there more recent than that.
Although I was driving through to get to Minehead so am not really an expert.

[Sugar Hill Kevis]

In Yorkshire, grew up in East Anglia though.

[praxis1966]

''Northern Ireland shown in Orange''

Oh dear.

I thought I was the only one who noticed that... Oh dear indeed.

Anyway, that video reminded me of this one for some reason...
