I beeped and beeped for ages, waving my Swisschamp at the driver and screaming 'Aloha! It's me! Mags! From MTO! Pull over and let's have a mini meet! Show me your SAK's and I'll show you mine!' but he didn't hear me.

Oddly enough my father's side of the family were all from Swindon, though I've not been there since I was a kid.

Sounds like Aloha could not see your swisschamp, maybe its too small?  :-\

It would help if you did like Aloha does and drive around in a 'Corwyn' Mobile with your avatar all over it. Come on Corwyn, help us to help you  :pok:

What do you think of the wonders of Swindon? It's what the US contingent would call a 'flyover state'.  :D

Pfft.. don't remind me.. I've been 6-7 times to UK so far... never saw London, or Bath or anything.. either spent a few days in a hotel in Heathrow or got picked up and taken directly to Swindon...

The most I got to see in Swindon are the racetrack, the Arcade and some swamps and gazebos I ran into while geocaching in the evening... they do have a quirky world-famous roundabout though...

Do note, that albeit piss-poor, I'm coming from the prettiest town in Romania (ski resorts, mountains, waterfalls, castles, palaces, cathedrals) so it does take a really nice place to impress me so....

No, just checking it out as a couple of job possibilites have come up in the area. Grew up in Reading though and used to regularly swim at the Oasis, so good memories. You from Swindon?

Crazy eh?

It's not too bad on the ground - as long as everyone knows the roundabout protocol!

Magic roundabout in Swindon, Pah!, a pale imitation of the Plough roundabout in Hemel Hempstead (6 mini roundabouts over Swindons 5).

Nice to know - Thanks dude. I have completed one application form for a position in the old town, and am doing another one tomorrow for a job in Bourton, so Swindon would be local town.

If there's any useful info you can give me about Swindon as adenizen there I'd be grateful for a pm  :salute:
