He's fucking Hammers. Hammers, I tell you (as, ostensibly, Robin).

more of this crazy gibberish!

Konjo Ieyesus getaye! ineger englizenya! Sowoyewoch Man chigger newo? (sweet Jesus, speak english! Whats wrong with you people!)

Seriously though, I'm sorry that you don't have any sense of culture but... I'd be fucking destroyed by the pointies (Tauntonites) for my apparent poshing of the wesscunnry.

be'arrif no. mäqäläd neny. (cool it down Iyah, I-man is only joking :) )

are u saying taunton is THE most local place?
my old neighbour was a farmer who was nearly unintelligible most of the time but he would make his accent worse on purpose if he had to talk to anyone new

I'm saying that people in Taunton are inbred. Not as bad as Shepton or Midsomer Norton, but they're definitely inbred.

Most regional accents do the thing of amending their accent depending on audience. I noticed just last night at a kiddy with a broad Hartcliffe accent suddenly became much more legible while trying to chat up some broad.

A girl from London who was visiting a friend of mine mentioned that I have a slightly different accent than the rest of the people at the party. I had to take her word for it but I'm a typical homebody American so there was little I could have adopted from elsewhere. I suppose the variety of accents in England give the people a far more sensitive ear for variation than myself. Freaks.

Yeah, that's gotta be it. :rolleyes:

ah come on its not that bad here!! what about bridgwater and chard i think you'll find a lot more inbreeding goes on there, and yes shepton mallet is an absolute hole its like smack capital there

really? I had no idea...not that I suppose there would be any reason to give me an idea.

Ah, Taunton...many a times have I passed that place on the train.

good idea, i should have done the same

The county of Somerset is very beautiful.

really? its not too bad i suppose... what bits in particular??

Oh. You're a proper pointy. Fair enough.

I think the thing is that Tauntonites hate Westonites and vice-versa. Having said that, we're in the right cricketing area.

You're probably the only person on this board other than me that knows what a hedger is. Mint. In fact, depending on your age, I expect you and I share mates. I'd be astonished if you didn't know someone I do.

I was chatting to a kiddy from Chard earlier. True story. But then, I was also chatting to the masses of Weston earlier. Weston FTW.

probably, i get the impression you've lead quite sheltered life?

yeah proper job, although not especially proud just accepting of the fact that i live here really. have not heard of this hating westonites thing, i just thought all local people hate anything thats more than 5 miles away cos its likely to be a bit peculiar.
well im 23 how about u? yeh we probs do know some of the same ppl no doubt...
talking to someone from chard eh, has he found out how to escape yet?

Exmoor National Park.

Ah Exmoor is lovely. Has some really nice villages on the coast too. I'm more of a fan of Dartmoor though.

yes alright, exmoor is nice, pinkery is cool. the levels are shit though.

Isn't Exmoor mostly in Devon though?

what is irish hair?

In a lady:



In a dude:

Irish hair looks like this. :D

oh, firecrotch. i should have known better.

Irish hair, to me, means it's thick and resistant to combs. I am not a ginge.

oh then i've got that too.

Ah, so like this:

That photo of the guy with the Irish hair I used isn't me. I just thought I'd clear that up.

Nice Irish hair you've got there bro.

5:50 into this video is the explanation of the phenomenon of irish hair:

I had the displeasure of walking around an afternoon in Taunton last May. It's such a fucking depressing town.

What I remember most is people aimlessly hanging around in front of the bookies, several people asking me for ciggies/change and, most notably, seeing at least 10-15 different people limping through the streets during the 2-3 hours I spent there. Is that a sign of inbreeding or just bad health?

Tauntonites blame it on the war.

I've seen a woman with hair and skin like that in projects in Baltimore. a proper black albino. kinda creepy.

really? thats a shitload of limping people, are u sure this wasnt a dream?
i once did have a tramp hop towards me in taunton though - its was the most terrifying begging ive ever witnessed because i wasnt expecting it, he was just this really tall weirdly dressed scruffy guy walking in front of us then he stopped, turned round and started hopping towards us holding out his top hat. i hope he changed his methods or surely he would starve.

You mean you haven't noticed it? I've been over to Taunton for the cricket a few times, and the town seems to be crawling [sic] with cripples. Tauntonites are like people from Cornwall but with moderate signs of civilisation - mobile phones rather than shotguns.

I'm crawling, on my belly crawling, sucking living, divine flesh

haha true yr right i think ive been here too long im starting to think this is normal, help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cornwall is odd isnt it, whats the obsession with double roundabouts?? why have two when there is clearly only the need for one? i nearly got myself killed so many times trying to drive around that bloody place!

I can't decide whether Glice was being serious or not, but I most certainly wasn't dreaming.

Admittedly, maybe limping is too strong wording. Let's just say half of them were proper cripples and after a while it grabbed all my attention and I started seeing cripples crawling out from everywhere, when in fact these people just had, uhm, minor walking problems. I definitely did see a high number of people who walked "funny" though, not like normal healthy people do.

I could probably blame the frequent begging on me looking like a dumb foreigner with a backpack. They knew it.

But Taunton did really feel to me like a depressing town to live in. Next time I pass through it on the way to ATP I won't be walking further than the 50 meters from the train station to the bus stop.

The Somerset landscape is beautiful though, I agree with whoever it was that mentioned something along those lines earlier in this thread.
