Where on Earth are you??!!

[Idaho]

I'm in a little hamlet on west side of bodmin moor No shops, but we got a pub

What is a pub if it is not a sit-in beer shop?

I know the Nowhere! I've probably seen you in there coz it's pretty small!! I was the lady knocking over glasses with baby bump every Friday night until recently. Probably the only sober person in there!

I havn't been in the nowhere for a while (living in Cardiff and all) and the last time i tried to visit they were closed because the ceiling had caved in (at least they said so maybe they didn't want me to come in and the pub was full of people trying not to snigger as i was being told "err, yeah we are err, are closed becuase..mmm...the ceiling 'as caved in. Honest.")
I did hear tell of an expansion of the nowhere. Did that not happen?

Hur hur! Oh yes. We all had a really good laugh at your expense Ceiling caved in indeed!

Not really. I don't know whether it's been extended because I've not been here for long.

I'm guessing that most of the people in this forum are Brizzle-based, but not necessarily!

Where in the South West are you? Points may be awarded to the most westerly of course.

Me, I live in north Plymouth.

I was born and raised in north Plymouth – can I have a point for that?

Or maybe just an Ivor Dewdney pasty?

 

[Poot]

Indeed! An Ivor Dewdney pasty and something 48% proof and unrecognisable from The Cider Press!

I'm in Crownhill. Where are you from?

I grew up in a village north of Crownhill on the edge of the cit's borders and went to school in Southway. I've driven through Crownhill hundred of times, know it well

in the last 5 years since moving back from france, ive spent about two years in torquay, two in glastonbury and one in transit (and a few months in mercedes vans funnily enough)
am currently in the process of buying a house in yeovil.
i know the town very well and despite all it's problems, i know some very sound people there and its as much of a home town as i'll ever have and i'm feeling the need to be at home these days

e2a came close to having to knock a girl out yesterday after she kicked my car a couple of times and tried punching me in the bollocks.....
so i'm reviewing my plans

So your closest to me then. I live about 10 miles from Yeovil, North Cadbury near Castle Cary. Street and Glastonbury feel more like home towns as I went to college there but Yeovil is just as close, never been that friendly though. I have spent 23 years in Somerset, with a few years out in Bournemouth and London and I think my time here is running out.

i just found a house in glastonbury that ive put an offer on today.
its totally up my street and everything i need but way over budget.
if that dont work i'll be buying in yeovil probably but either way its all good.
we'll have to try and meet up one day.
i know what you look like now anyway

Ah I knew the self portrait theme would get me into trouble. Yeovil always gets slated but most who do the slating just haven't seen that much of the world I guess as its not that bad. Try Bridgwater, or Cleethorpes - other places I have spent to much time. I really like Street and Glastonbury (nostalgia) but they themselves are certainly not friendly either, but your living in the Mendips which can never be bad...Yeah we'll have to meet up, I am around a lot at the moment.

yet another change of plan. found out i cant get a mortgage on the glastonbury house so its back to yeovil for me. its exhausting all this househunting. if anyones interested in a 3 bed house in 1.5 acres with a view of the tor and no neighbours, let me know.
how come youve only done 300 posts in 3 years then tom?

there was a Great Postcount Cull in 2004 or 2005 when fridgemagnet had a fat finger attack whilst doing some maintenance

 

[sned]

I'm from Bath and live there in the holidays but i'm often in Portsmouth but only till June next year when I should be staying in Bath!

 

[ost2life]

I thought I'd bump this as I'd like to know if there are many people in or around Portsmouth
