Hey it's sunday and I'm bored enough to look up my town on the wikipedia. In doing this I find out that the guy who played bobba fett in star wars was born here! I already knew about England Rugby captain Martin Johnson being brought up here because I see him in the pub most weeks! Plus his mum taught me french in school. Also my town has the smallest street in Europe (Interesting :p) Market Harborough Wiki entry. zzz

Anyway I've just wasted a couple of minutes of your life telling you this, tell us all some interesting/uninteresting facts about where you live? Anyone famous live near you etc?

The modern game of Football was invented in Cambridge.

wikipedia wrote:

Cambridge played a unique role in the invention of modern football as the game's first set of rules were drawn up by members of the university in 1848. The Cambridge Rules were first played in Parker's Piece and had a "defining influence on the 1863 Football Association rules."[2]
And Parker's Piece has a lampost known as 'reality checkpoint' in the center.

How much more cool do you want?

Ok you're exempt because you live in like one of the most well known cities in the world, even though (old) York was there before it. :p

Well, technically, I live near the edge of the city, away from the smogginess, so...

I <3 living by Shea Stadium. If you watch a game on TV, you'll hear the plane fly over the stadium, then two seconds later, over my house.

There's nothing interesting in here, but here's something uninteresting
The best known cultural exports of the city of Oulu are Air Guitar World Championships, Mieskuoro Huutajat (also known as Screaming Men), and the now defunct metal band Sentenced. The Oulu Music Video Festival (originally the host of the Air Guitar Championships) is also a significant event. The annual music festival Qstock has risen to acclaim in the past few years; headlining the 2006 festival were UK's Motörhead.
