Cornwall

[kyser_soze]

Give him a chance, its probably taken him a couple of years to put that together, he'll be off for a pint and a pasty now.

Would that be down to the three-fingers-in-one typing?

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

Now I've just remembered that shit Cornish beer - Devenish or something.

Dur! Devenish was from Dorset. We have our own breweries as well as the Legless but Smiling Cornish Cider Co and the Lizard Cider Shop.

Ain't much else to do these days....

 

[Idaho]

I think you'll find that these days Plymouth would be much more appropriate as capital.

Plymouth is teh b1tch. Exeter pwn Plymouth!

 

[Major Tom]

Plymouth is teh b1tch. Exeter pwn Plymouth!

Then it's war (as I said earlier)

 

[Idaho]

Fuck off, Dorset's ours, sonny

You can everything east of Weymouth - and other bits that I don't like the look of.

But I want Corfe Castle for Royal reinactments of Nuts in May.

GET BACK TO YOUR TENEMENTS

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

You're all bleddy grockles and emmets anyway, git orf our land

Nah, mate, we get it all. And bits of Somerset and Wiltshire too..

And the New Forest. But not much of Bournemouth, it's a bit shit

 

[Idaho]

I'll swap you Bournemouth for Plymouth. Both shit holes - but you get a naval port and I get plenty of hot silver age action.

Whoa... that image came out a tad large.

Oddly enough, now that I look at it - I think I was actually in the ENO building when they were having that tea dance.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

That's the biggest cup of tea I've ever seen You could sail to Cornwall in that....

 

[Idaho]

When I march triumphant into Cornwall I will demand that the locals make me a cup of tea and cream scone at least that size - OR TASTE MY WRATH!

More usefully you could drown the entire population of cornwall in it.

 

[Major Tom]

Best idea i've heard for ages.

And all those holidaying Londoners too. Then the property could be handed out to exiled Devonians.

Then its war.

[joevsimp]

outflow of younger intelligent population cos of these factors,

just wonderin what u think of this whole combined universities thingie down there. the Exeter campus at Tremough is my second choice Uni (behind Sussex) what do peeps down there think about it, just for locals or is it cool to have peeps migrating from Essex to come down your way

e2a which one was it who said they was from Penryn

 

[ZUL]

Better pasties in Devon

Sorry Major, but I'm going to have to pull rank on you and disagree.

If that's what you believe, then I guess you haven't been to the right spots.

Nice picture, I really like the juxtaposition.
Well done!!!

 

[Orang Utan]

I'm thinking of going on holiday in Cornwall - is there a danger of me being abducted and beheaded by Cornish separatists and the video showed on Cornish news channel Pen-Treveara?

I say my good man, are you a local yokel?

 

[lewislewis]

Good on you Cornubian, Celtic greetings and all that.

Pull rank? How come?

It was a wind-up btw - although I always enjoyed an Ivor Dewdney's pasty when I lived in Plymouth. I prefered not to go to Cornwall too often. While the pasties may be better than in Devon, nothing else is.

But my mum made the best pasties ever - and she was in Devon.

 

[Idaho]

Ivor Dewdeny pasties are grim.

The man at the Exeter farmer's market does the best pasties in the world.

you rural types really do have a rather limited frame of reference, what?

Splendid idea. I'm up for that, it would be the only way left that I could get near home.

Ivor Dewdneys are an Exeter institution matey. I know people from elsewhere in these islands who wouldnt consider a visit to Exeter complete without one.

Were you channeling Eric Cantona when you wrote this?

 

[Major Tom]

I wouldn;t vouch for them now - but 25 years ago you had to go to the shop on Cornwall Street (?) and join the massive queue to get the really tasty fresh ones.

The shop up the road from my school used to sell Dewdney's pasties but they weren;t fresh - and a bit rank. If they're anything like the ones you get in Exeter then I'm not surprised that you don;t rate them.

 

[boskysquelch]

teh funny how whenever Cornwall is mentioned on Urb how the Janneristi get themselves into a tissyfit of Janner_jism innit?
