Hedge End, Southampton,
Hampshite...Hampshire, ENGLAND!
Do you ever have nightmares
where you're trapped in really giant stores, and its a bit like a futuristic dystopia, only in retail form?
I got lost in Hedge End M&S once
Maybe I'm still there
^ This
also happened to me.
It is like being in the really shit future, especially as there are no windows, and the floors in between the clothing racks sort of look like conveyor belts, if you squint.

Alresford, Hampshire
ive played football
against alresford. dirty twats. Also, alresford has thatched houses.
It does
it also has some quite nice shops, and is just ten minutes drive from Winchester.
Winchester is so totally my spiritual home though, because I went to school there and hence all my friends were from there (as there is a different secondary school in Alresford), I don't know anyone in Alresford.

Scruffy's neither. The place is (almost) dead to me.
We did our first film project at uni in Godalming.
Nice little place.
They also filmed some hollywood
mega film there with fake snow and Jude Law and it attracted (apparently) a melee of over-excited youngsters. Fair play if you're the hollywood big time player who brought this DESPICABLE EVIL to my hometown.
Used to spend
alot of time in Brookwood. G'ford is the nearest city (if it is a city?) I remember a massive war cemetary.

Have we
met, Vikram? I will also admit that I had a few good years of 'going out' in Lynn. And some of my closest friends still live there, so shouldn't really slate it that much.
I went to college there as well....98 & 99, I think?
i uwas born in King's Lynn
spent much of my childhood on the west coast of Norfolk. my parents still live in a village called Snettisham.
I went to Norfolk College from 1995 to 1999 before going to university.
Hunstanton cliffs are the only cliffs on the east coast that face west (fact )
Snettisham is a really nice place :)
I went to college with a girl who lived there, Mel Lynn (unfortunate name....Melon, Mel Lynn - her brother was called Rael Lynn....railin)...
What did you study at the college?
just got back onto DiS.
I studied Business studies then Information technology.
OMG
