Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Seeing as my village is so small and boring, I decided to use the nearest relatively know city of Denmark: Ribe First Google image: Entitled "Hyggeligt bymiljø i Ribe" = "Cosy city milieu in Ribe" (Ribe is the oldest city of Denmark - and it shows. It is a very cosy milieu. ) Penultimate Google search result: http://www.regionsyddanmark.dk/wm204744 The official website of Ribe County. First YouTube search result: It seems to be from some Russian movie. I have no idea what the feck it's about. First YouTube search suggestion: Ribery Apparently some football (soccer) player.
Roostophe Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 First YouTube search suggestion: Ribery Apparently some football (soccer) player. No. Dondodatagain. kthanxbai. Is anyone going to do Birmingham? Juss wondering, is all...
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 No. Dondodatagain. kthanxbai. Is anyone going to do Birmingham? Juss wondering, is all... Merely a service them Americans who don't know what's what.
Roostophe Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 What is 'football' in Danish anyway? Hyakenflakenboll? I dunno, something like that. Probably not. EDIT: Guess what the first image is when you type Birmingham into Google... Yep. A picture of Birmingham, Alabama. Not the original Birmingham. Not the Birmingham that spawned the other hundred Birminghams in the USA. Not the greatest Birmingham. Not the real Birmingham. Not the Birmingham that is the birthplace of Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, ELO, The Football League and The Industrial Revolution. But Birmingham, Aller-fucking-bammer! That's fucking disgusting! It's wrong! At least on Wikipedia, when you type in just 'Birmingham', you're directed straight to the original Birmingham.
Mundi Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 It´s fotball I think. You can bet on the danish to write it like that.
jayseven Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Bournemouth Beach of course! Best beach in Brittain might i add SO MANY LIES IN ONE POST! *head explodes* ... seriously. Boscombe down the road from you has way nicer beaches. Unless you're counting them! Then there's blackpool, brighton (sic) and cornwall. Nami I live not too far from Chesterfield. How come you know Shorty? BISH it up to find out MOAR!
D_prOdigy Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Newton Heath: http://www.francisfrith.com/archive/england/lancashire/newton+heath/newton+heath.htm YT suggestion: "newton heath crew" *goes and hangs self*
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 What is 'football' in Danish anyway? Hyakenflakenboll? I dunno, something like that. Probably not. Close ... not really. It´s fotball I think.You can bet on the danish to write it like that. Actually, that's more like Swedish. We call it "fodbold" with a lovely soft Danish D. I'd say it's like the English "th" sound, just without aspiration.
rokhed00 Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 Caldicot is famous for one thing Me You look a right nutter, not what I was expecting at all.
Jimbob Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 You look a right nutter, not what I was expecting at all. That was the best picture i could find at the time, i look constipated.
Eenuh Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 City: Hasselt First image: Which I guess is an image of our city, though I find it hard to recognise anything on there. Penultimate link: http://www.cchasselt.be/programma.php Which leads to the site of our cultural centre place, where there's concerts and the like. Youtube video: Some DJ playing at a festival in our city. First Youtube suggestion: "Hasselt skatepark" And if I were to use the town I sort of live in instead of the city, I get this. Town: Sint-Lambrechts Herk First image: Heh, picture taken at the annual fair, which is tiny. Penultimate link: http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/Woning-te-koop-Sint-Lambrechts-Herk-4-slpk_W0QQitemZ360083290685QQihZ023QQcategoryZ140871QQcmdZViewItem House for sale on ebay. Youtube video: Some video from 1985 of the carnival (kids/people dressing up and going through the streets). And no suggestion at all.
weeyellowbloke Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Birmingham, UK version (bloody yanks) Doesn't look much like Birmingham to be honest. Also comes up with this for some reason:
Roostophe Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Yeah, weeyellowbloke, that's the shitty clone of our beloved Brum. The one with the "ham".
The fish Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 Harpenden, where me, DomJcg, and Dan-Likes-Trees come from: Link: Harpenden Hotels. Joy. Oddly, the last link was to Youth With A Mission's Harpenden branch. Ironic, eh? The first Youtube link is of the Highland Gathering (largest in Europe outside of Scotland), but the second is getting posted as it was made by people who were in my year at school. I can name every actor in it. The suggestions were non-existent.
Supergrunch Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 For Knebworth: This is actually closer to Stevenage, but called Knebworth house. Knebworth Park Cricket Club Also Stevenage. First suggestion: knebworth robbie williams Yeah, there was a Robbie Williams thing... For Cambridge: Funny view... The backs, but I'm not sure which college. Maybe Kings. Cambridge Journals Online Lol at this, seen it before though. The college with the American guy who doesn't get the joke and the guy in front of the white house is mine. Suggestion: cambridge university
Ash Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 As you can see, Chelmsford Essex, The birth place of radio, and Britvic, the soft drink makers, such as tango
