Walsall is on Google Street View now (along with 95% of the UK apparently). So I thought I’d give you a little tour of my town :) This is going to interest NO ONE.
This is where I was born. Nothing to see here really, it’s only here for completeness.
This is the house we lived in until I was about 9. See that flowery border thing running below the top windows.. my mom and dad have one of those bricks un their loft still. My dad took the top window ledge out when we were there and kept it as a souvenir.
I can tell you that this photo was taken about June/July last year. And yes, they do have the Christmas decorations still up. Scumdog.
This is my primary school. A lot smaller than I remember. They have a real electric school bell now. When I was there someone in the top year would run around the outside of the school ringing a bell. If you go left from here there’s the swimming baths. They built that when I was about 10 – and we loved it.
This was my secondary school, T.P.Riley. But they knocked it down and built this ‘academy’ because it was a failing school or something. If you look to the left there’s some bushes. Some girls threw me in that once, I don’t know why, I think they wanted me inside them.
Walsall College. I went here for a year. I didn’t do much – as you’ve probably already heard me banging on about.
This is where my first ‘real’ job was. By ‘real’ I mean, lasted longer than 6 months. Don’t let the signs fool you, it’s not a furniture shop! They do dating websites. I was a php coder/web developer. You might notice that it’s right next to the street I grew up on, weird eh!
This was my first flat, when I moved out of my parents house a couple of years ago. It was really nice.
This is where I live right now. It’s actually in the same complex as my first one – so the move wasn’t so bad. it’s the orange bit at the top, and the one under it. If you zoom out, that’s the ‘New Art Gallery’ on the left. It’s called the New Art Gallery still, even though it celebrated its 10th birthday this year. And that’s the Wharf Bar on the right.
And here’s where Facepunch HQ is situated. In that big building in the background. To the left of this photo is Asda, and to the right is Birmingham. Behind is the red light district. Where you go for hoes. A blowjob costs £5, even if you don’t cum.
Badlands
Shakespeare Crescent was a notoriously rough street when I was a kid. A couple of years ago they bulldozed the whole street into the ground. I think it looks cool.
i DO think this is interesting…
Nice town you got there
ITT: Nostalgia.
I love it. :)
Seems like the Ipswich of the midlands, really
heh 5 for a blowjob? that sounds nice
Would you like a side of herpes with that?
“Some girls threw me in that once…I think they wanted me inside them.”
Inside the bushes or inside THEM?
Inside the bushes.
Also, i want to go to walsall now. :P
Post a picture of the bricks you stole.
Both >:D
That badlands part is cool as fuck.
Now I know where you live, ima go over to your place and spend a day shouting up to your apartment “I LOVE YOU GARRRRRYYY!!!”
Inside their bush? Herpderp
Oops didn't mean to “Like” That. I meant to Reply and call you a Creep-Ass.
Way to ruin the joke.
The British Ghetto.
Lol.
Are you saying you wouldn't meet Garry, given the chance?
Ahahaha you seem to know a lot about the blowjobs, don't you?
Ask Garry, seems as he knows how much it is n' all :P
They were probably skanks anywho.
Interesting, thanks for the insight. :)
I definetly intend to one day, mark my words.
Remebers me on my tweet about the Wallsal youth and a near shot of FPHQ
Do you even live in Ipswich or are you just being a dick about the red light district?
I wonder why that is.
” Behind is the red light district. Where you go for hoes. A blowjob costs £5, even if you don’t cum.”
EPIC! that needs to be a feature in the next Garry's mod man. xD
Now i know where to stalk you, Garry!
I've walked the streets you have Garry, as i lived in Walsall, i lived in a estate called Beechdale
so garry have u ever gone to Shakespeare crescent when u were like 13 and smoked your first cig or pot?
What do you mean with: “this is going to interest NO ONE”. You are saying that I'm no one” ? :ohdear:
I dont get why some people put the text describing a picture BELOW IT, it should be over them, not below…
agreed!
Neat
I live about 7 miles from it in a town called Woodbridge, so I know how much of a hole it is, Liquid nightclub is viewed as a place of class….
Ahhh, okay, its just that I come from Ipswich and have lived their all my life and its fine to me (:
Also Liquid isn't viewed as a place of class, but myself, being 15 are going there to a u18 night club tonight.
Because you are wrong, titles go on top, wall of text goes below the image.
