i just thought it'd be really funny and interesting to post pics of strange, cool and warped buildings eg skyscrapers bridges http://maths.dur.ac.uk/~dma0cvj/19-0...dge_shrunk.JPG thats the millenium Bridge in Gateshead its weird as it can tilt to let ships through without sending the pathway across upside down *thinks of the Pepsi max hypercoaster in Blackpool pleasure beach* now its your turn
We got this in my hometown, Kingston.
Tumbling Telehphones.
wow thats so cool, i want some of them in my street
We have a crashed plane in a ravine near the town centre.
There's probably going to be a lot of tramps/hobos in there, though. :/
damn shame just get a katana or a few molotovs and shout "get the frig outta my plane or else you'll have to answer to these"
simple as
a) It isn't my plane.
b) The local authorities might not be too pleased about my actions.
c) I'd have to pay bus fare to get into town, and I'm not doing that.
good point but you can claim it as your own or do something that doesnt require much money or movement to get to it. get some people you can blame.
sorry about my violent and destructive attitude towards things but ive had a sugar rush about 3o mins ago
Ladies and gents, the homes of the patriotic citizens of America! :D
There is a mountain here that supposedly looks like a camel or a camel's back or something. I don't have pictures, though.
Hey, Shoden, you stole my picture! :tongue:
Anyway, I'm nearer this anyway, but I don't like the look of much!
And, well, Welcome Shoden, it's weird lol, we both joined dec 2004, you're birthday's a month before mine and we're both from Newcastle!
wow how convenient (i only live in shields but its close enough to newcastle, you like Charvas?)
thats the Angel of the North looks more like an upside down aeroplane to me lol it was put up in about 1998 wasnt it?
Lol, I used to hate the angel of the north but I don't mind it as much now.
I have nothing against charvas they're class lol.
I think it went up about 1998, yeah, it was even rusty then :rolleyes2
yep they where planning to put a home Newcastle shirt on it but many mackems werent happy.
I just hate the proper Charvas who think they're so great with 3 walkmans in they're pocket and monkey tapes too they go round with they're NYC hats on chav style and chains man them charvas are the ones i dont like.
man id laugh if it fell over itd go weeeeeeee and kill alot of cars or just fall to bits coz of the rust
http://www.wycombe.gov.uk/images/chairs.jpg We used to have an arch made of chairs. Everyoen got tired of standing though.
wtf thats so unfair if i had to stand id be rebelling or lying down couch patatoeing
Lol, So you're not one of 'those' charvers lol?
Three walkmans and a boombox on their shoulder lol!
I don't hate the angel of the north enough to want it to kill cars, it brings back a lot of good memories :D :love:
We have this in Good 'ol North Devon. Its called the Landmark and its a theatre and obsure cinema (only plays interlectual continental films), but its commonly known and maddonas bra. Oh yeah and i also had my prom there! it was built on top of childrens amusments about 5/6 yrs ago, great aint it. All teh local chavs hang around it and sell drugs and I'm not exagerating, i went to acoustic cafe there to see a mate perform and got asked if i wanted to buy about 3 times, i don't do that kinda stuff......anymore at least.....
I'm pretty sure Stonehenge isn't THAT far from me..
lol, puts on native american costume puts makeup on and gets a torch and a mini fridge trvaels to stone henge and dances round it like a stoned schizo hoping aliens will come. every somersolsis pagans gather at stonehenge for some reason

This isn't real interesting. It's the Tarrant County courthouse. It's made of limestone. Apparently a pretty building.
wow thats quite nice but did you know limestone is alkaline while sandstone is acidic and if water isn't neutral then either of the stones are thrown in to neutralize it
look what they're planning to build in Liverpool

I would describe that as the "slinky" of archietecture.
im haveing work done on my septic tank for a little bit and its in my back yard :D
i have 2 really big and not-so-inactive volvanoes within site of my home. but I don't have pictures of them.
everybody's luvin Newcastle around here. What about the poor people in Oldcastle though? they never get any press. I'm going to start an Oldcastle tourist office and bring millions of people to see the joys and wonders of Oldcastle.

Also the first gun factory was in Windsor, we made the Windsor rifle which was used in the civil war. :D also the first steam engine was made by a man in windsor but his idea was stolen ;)

beat this:
It's on US-41 in Marietta, Georgia, where I grew up, and a northern suburb of Atlanta. People always use it as a reference point when giving directions. The mouth opened and closed for a while, but they turned it off when birds started getting crushed. (the irony) In recent years they fixed it so the mouth opens and closes without consuming any avian brethren.
