View Full Version : City/Town/Island association thread
Burden March 22nd, 2008, 05:28 AM Bassically the same as SEQ92's thread but I would say abit better as we have pretty much used and done every country in the world in that thread :D. Same rules apply, I will just post what old mate had and add Towns and Cities, and Island's instead of Countries thanks ya'll.
A simple game, one poster says a City/Town/Island and the next person says the first thing they think when they hear the word.
So:
Poster 1- Mackay
Poster 2- Mining. London
Poster 3- Massive Airport. Paris
etc. etc.
Ill go first:

All you do is go on about your pathetic excuse of a city. Iam sick of you judgeing everything so can you do me a favor and stop following me on SSC and STOP FUKIN PUTTING PATHETIC COMMENTS ON TOWNSVILLE. (JEALOUSY MUCH? I THINK SO!!!!!!!!!!)

Burden March 28th, 2008, 12:53 PM geez i left one comment there about that video and it wasn't even on townsville! It's just you always leave a post that is always got a negative side to cairns, just like the dirt = cairns one - right back at you again. Also why would i be jealous of townsville anyway? If you don't want to take part in a cairns thread, don't go into it! Half the stuff in those threads are your stupid little debates like this one which is why your post count is nearly as big as mine and this is your new account - number 2. Also i can see you were just viewing this thread again, even though you are in invisible mode, just waiting for me to post so you can post back, continuing this stupid debate that that is reaccuring with every second member on this site!
Wtf is about this post shit, Iam a high forumer who gives a toss obviously your looking at my acount to much. And Cairns and dirt have nothing to do with each other matey. If you new how to play the game correctly you would farking see that it has nothing to do with Cairns. Iam just sick to death with your Townsville pathetic bullshit. BTW I never try to start fights with Cairns its the other way around that why I always see you as a jealous type I mean why do you always lurk in to my posts that dont even relate to you like the whole Uk thread, Just piss off and stop following me. Before you posted your pathetic comment you sent me a PM to say come on msn obviously you dont want me posting this because you know iam wright

Budapest.
Europe's most underrated city. And possibly it's most stunning.
(plus, it has the tendency to make a Melburnian a little homesick, with these things donging around in the background)

Actually, the main language spoken in Taiwan IS Mandarin, it's the language used at schools. There are more people in Taiwan who can't speak Taiwanese than people who can't speak Mandarin. A lot of the younger generations are losing their abilities to speak Taiwanese now, and that's why Taiwanese is taught at schools. And Taiwanese is just a variant of the Min Nan dialect from mainland China.

well, its the lang spoken in school because of the "ROC" thing... but for lang used at home taiwanese is still dominant. the official "bussiness and school language" i suppose is mando, so more people NEED to know it, but for home and informal situations TWnese and hakka still dominate.. its true the younger ppl are losing their ability slowly though.. Its actually quite different now to how it started as an amoy min nam dialect in china, its changed quite alot with many new jap words.. and that dialect is now extinct in china and anywhere else, it died out, hence it is unique to taiwan..
wtf back to topic...

You don't need to google it. The point is to right down the first thing that cames to YOUR mind. Rockhampton -- if nothing comes to mind? What about "Rocks?"
And if nothing really comes to mind, leave it for someone else. :cheers:
