Most UFO sightings in England

Come on Warminster!!!!!!

Wiltshire is the best county :>

I think you will fnd that Todmorden has the most recorded UFO sightings in the U.K. and is in the Top 5 world wide, probably because half the natives are on LSD to relieve the boredom of living in Todmorden

Colchester

Britons oldest recorded town, old roman capital

birth place of:
Darren Day
Dermot O'Leary
Dave Rowntree drummber for blur, also the lead singer Damon Albarn lead guitarist Graham Coxon attended school in colchester
Jay Kay attened school in colchester too


Roman Colchester was attacked and destroyed during Boudica's rebellion in AD 61, Sub-Roman Colchester was named Caer Camulod


The forces of Saxon England have just captured Caer Camulod!
[Guild]: Woderwick: Crap!
[Guild]: Bigusdickus: dammit!
[Guild]: Farticus: wtf!
[Guild]: Ceaser: Ok bg forming outside essex
[Guild]: Ceaser: need tanks
[Guild]: Farticus: im in
[Guild]: Rompus: Ding!

 

[Jeros]

Also!

"Colchester has also been cited as one of the potential sites of Camelot. This comes from the fact it was the capital of Roman England and its ancient name was Camulodunon (the theory being this has become Camelod and then Camelot over time)"

i used to live near the graveyard where barns wallis (bouncing bomb dude) was buried.

capt cook is not random crap fyi.

australia ftw

Although Middlesbrough claims James Cook's birthplace these days (given the great boundary carve ups in 1974), he was born a Yorkshireman at Marton and grew up at Great Ayrton before heading up to Staithes and then Whitby

As for my little town, we gave the world the furniture maker Thomas Chippendale and possibly the other founder member of The Sisters of Mercy - although that might just be an old school urban legend.

Sunny Salford or Magnificent Middleton?

I had to mark Paul Scholes when his school Cardinal Langley played my school St Gregory's in the Manchester Catholic Cup back in 1990, I tackled him once all game and the final score was 21-1 for them.

That's my claim to fame, tragic isn't it?

Oh, I also know Nicky Butt personally as we lived about 1/2 a mile away from each other and he was good friends with my cousin Craig who lived 2 streets away from him since birth. They even played for the Manchester United youth team together till about 1991, sadly Craig was dropped as the youth goalkeeper because he was spending too much time with his pregnant 16 year old girlfriend and going out with his mates. Silly lad
