It’s a cackhole.
Meh, not that bad. I don’t mind shopping there. Not really a city, a big town.

Where the cathedral used to be there is now a TESCO. It’s just that kind of town.
Oh and the magic roundabout there is death!

Swindon is a first class shit hole… went for a night out there when i was 16.. why i still don’t know to this day, it was a shit club and no matter how much i drank the place didn’t look better or the people less ugly.

Which i think may also be the tourist slogan for the town?

yeah Dusty, Its still in the planning stage dunno whether its going ahead yet, someone asked me if id like to go earlier, then they said theyre going to try and sort something out and let me know, A bristol date would of been better or even better than that would of been either Swansea or Narberth :p, but I understand why theyve chose nottingham and swindon, One northern town One Southern

Magic roundabout??? im intrigued

Rob A whats the furnace like?

You join it with the best intentions - “If I go straight on at THAT one and then right at THAT one..”etc etc - but soon become lost and usually end up crying and screaming “GET ME OUT OF HEEEEERE!”

Well, I do anyway!

Swindon had at one point, maybe still has, the highest divorce rate in the country. Possibly something to do with women sitting in the passenger seat going “I TOLD you to take the left at that last island…”

:D

Swindon is just meh.
Never been to the furnace mate, saw it advertised when I last went to Swindon in HMV. Thought that was pretty class.
Probably like any other gig hall tbh.

Bastard, I was gonna say that! I didn’t know they had it til I got there and saw the marking saying Magic Roundabout - I was staying at the Premier Travel Inn next to said roundabouts.

The next morning I was still a little boozey from the night before and very nearly got, shall we say, broadsided by somebody on that thing!

*shivers*
Hemel…

Lived there for a couple of years. The best way to get round it is to take the outside route of all of them.Never, and I mean never, go through the middle. xd.
