[cite]Posted By: BlackForestReds[/cite]Morts scored a brilliant goal there - I think his first for the club - picking the ball up on the half-way line, running past a couple of defenders before scoring from 20 yards.
It is home to the most irritating person in the world (sofa politician, vegan) my girlfriends best friend Twatalie who moved there a little while ago and instantly turned from life long spud to canary! Best place for her!
- They've got the best fussball supporters in the world
- Paul Ellis (CAFC legend) spoke up for me and sorted me out a ticket up there one year when CAFC ballsed up posting mine to me
- Their kit makes you feel sick if you stare at it for too long - FACT
- It has the biggest church/cathedral in ... er ... Norfolk. (but does anyone know where the second biggest one in Norfolk is?)
- We went there on a school trip once and got involved in a "disturbance" with local yoot in the city centre. (We had them on their toes - for South London)
- It's home to Winters Brewery, brewers of Winters Mild, Bitter, Golden, Revenge, Storm Force and Tempest (6.2%!)
- 5th generation Norfolk folk have developed webbed feet to help them negotiate the Norfolk Broads in the dark.
[cite]Posted By: razil[/cite]Where the feck is Wessex.. doesn't really exist anymore does it/if it ever did?
It did exist. Read a Thomas Hardy novel or at least look at the inside cover and you'll have some idea of the area it covered. Careful with this though as the place names he uses are fictional.
It's also mentionned in (at least one) Shakespeare play if I remember rightly.
It was lost I think when all the counties were re-named.
Could look it up somewhere but can't be arsed.

53. N-O-R-W-I-C-H stands for Nickers Off Ready When I Come Home. Proving that Norfolk folk a) don't know how to spell knickers and b) don't even say "please" when they talk to their sisters.
54. In 1144 a 12-year old boy called William was stabbed to death; his body found in woods north east of Norwich. It was believed his murderers were Jewish. So, on Feb 6 1190, almost every single Norwich Jew was slaughtered. All those that escaped (to the local castle) committed suicide.

Norwich City is one of three football teams the City boasts. The others being Norwich United (Eastern Counties League) and AFC Norwich (Anglian Combination). Norwich City have won the League Cup twice in 1962 and 1985. Apparently they hate Ipswich Town.
In 1613, Norwich became a focal point for the occult when over 500 witches moved to the city over a six month period.
Distressed by a plague of frogs along with 37% of the population catching genital warts, a vendetta was began by locally infected vigilantes which turned into a full blown withchunt after they were supported by the then Mayor, Del Smith , who instigated the ancient method of witchfinding vis a vis, the ducking stool, in the River Yare.
Because of the large numbers, ducking stools were provided throughout the region in all the larger areas of water, to ensure every possible witch was found. Several hundred haggard old women were subjected to this ritual and their rotting, bloated corpses were left floating in the stretches of water as a lesson to all.
Ever since these areas have been known as the Norfolk Broads.

Wessex existed, it was one of seven Saxon kingdoms that existed before the Norman conquest, it's a contraction of West Saxon kingdom.
I'm being 'entertained' by her on Thursday night.
