isnt it mad that them places have been around for light years and they did what castles are sposed to do back then and stuff. yet now there jus sat there and tourist places to go n visit n learn about what they used to do

i sometimes look at them as tho there tourist attractions just made up to get people there and to tell a story about it being a castle when it aint really. anyone with me on this one? lol

jus havin a chat with canoo on msn about them lol and hes thrown a idea into the pot thats confused me even more.

alton towers castle. what came first the theme park or the castle? lol

did it used to have dead sh!t rides there back in the day like a cart going down a hill n then had the castle doing its biz

or did they make the castle to stop the others? from robbin the rides...

and is the castle there a castle castle or a tourist attraction castle?

also if they made a castle to stop people invading it then why did they bother building them in the first place if they didnt build em theyd have nowt to invade n so all would be well

castles. there confusing the hell of out me :axe:

:D

I love Castles, knights, Olde England, Scotland and Wales. :thumbsup:. Love Odinism, (no, not onanism jiglo, odinism lol), Pagan heritage, celtic folk, saxons, normans, and all that jive. 5 years ago I couldnt have give a shit to be honest, but now, well, its a different sense of aura entirely.

I love those crossbow style slits in stonework too, and all that malarky.....I think Id like archery if I tried it :D .

Juts not enough hours in the day to get into all of it though.

Nah, Ive avoided it cos its a BBC production. I was expecting terribly unrealistic scenes, not so hidden 'educational/moral' sub plots, a black friar tuck, lesbian maid marions, some 'noble' all knowledgeable arabic type dude and a secretly left leaning sherrif of nottingham, who, if he only learnt his lesson would be a champion of the people........you know, all that jive lol.

Me, my mate and his girlfriend wanted to book a weekend archery course, gun practice and stuff, but it seemed rather expensive at the time, and well, it kind of died a death. Maybe next year.

one of the best known castle in the uk gotta be the Tower of London - built by William the Conqueror in 1078 and took 20 years to construct. :D

(Tower of London, seen from the river, with a view of Traitors Gate, created by Viki Male 17/09/03 16:38)

I would have loved to live in a castle - surrounded by a big moat with crocodiles in and have a drawbridge that I can pull up and repel salesmen and jehova witnessess from knocking on me door, lol :crazy:

We've got a castle smack bang in the middle of the town centre. Built out of the remains of old roman colchester after Bodicia and co trashed the town (bit of history for ya lol).
Anyway the only use that i see ours for and the roman walls is its good for trippage :fekked:, glue sniffers, pissheads and the annual summer civvies vs squadies riot in the park (a form of modern jousting im told).
p.s. dont ask me why its got a friggin tree on top, still aint worked that one out yet and much acid has been taken in the quest.

:thumbsup: Ye olde ways are the best ways :D

"Do I belong to some ancient race,
I like to walk in ancient places,
These are the things I can understand.

I don't believe in your modern ways,
Don't care about the things you say,
Your policies have failed the test of time...
Coz you sold them down the river"
