The Seven Wonders of Swindon [link w/ pics]

[Rabidchild]

Anyone seen this page on the Seven Wonders of Swindon? I can't tell for sure, but I think that #1 is Mongoose Towers. :mrgreen:

 

[toothill man]

its called the brunel tower and no one can use the balconies due to vast quantities of pigeon poo :?

Ah yes, the world (or town) of Thursday Next. Well worth a read.

Proof of just how shite Swindon is!
People from Swindon never leave, it's a very different, wierd society. Usually thought of (by Oxford United Football fans, of which i am not one as I do not follow football) as the main ethnic 'minority' area in England. Not sure if this is true. It is often made fun of as the worst place to live in the South (not England, that would be Hull mate). :lol:

Just a Geography lesson you some Yanks out there. Just so you don't gfo to war with us!

(REALLY big joke, no offense intended ).

So this must be Mongoose Towers... :wink:

Maybe they're in here instead...

Perhaps they're somewhere inside here? After all, she's a towering figure of a gal.

Bear in mind that this site relates to Jasper Fforde's books.

The statue of Jessica Rabbit isn't that big.

very cool!

BuShips, you had it right. In that first picture of mongoose towers if you look closely you can see the mongoose crest flying from their floor. (Their floor is the one with the printing press in the window and Matt lashing slaves with a whip in the background). You just have to zoom in close enough and it's all there, really.

How can you have the 7 wonders of Swindon but not feature the Magic Roundabout!? :shock:

Darn. I rather favored the lighthouse, with the image of Matt and Alex gripping the handrails strongly and gazing steadily at the Horizon. :lol:

I know. I wondered if he was an offended Swindonian, but his profile lists his interests as games.

wwill2007: welcome to the Mongoose madhouse. Feel free to comment on the more gaming-oriented threads.

Well, maybe he thought "Mongoose General Discussion" was about gaming discussions between Generals :wink:

Swindoners are barely people anyway. :lol:

Joking.
Uhmm..
Most of us can take 'slag-offs' with the best of heart anyway really.
