Well our SROTU has returned, and he asked me on IRC to let you know :

Code: Select all

16:02> <orudge> Oh, could someone (eg, you, RobC), post in the "Where's Owen?" thread
       that I'm back, but I may not be logging in for a short while yet as my Internet
       connection is very bad and it'd take ages to load a page, and with three weeks
       worth of stuff to read through, it'd be fairly annoying. Someone is meant to be
       fixing the phone line soon so I'll be back soon, and I am keeping an eye on the
       forum where I can!
16:02> <orudge> If anyone needs me, they can get me via e-mail

Yes - the island of Sanday in the group of islands called Orkney, located north east from the top of mainland UK.

Hm that means Owen speaks wannabe-Norwegian. Still, e, he lives on an island..

CombatGold1 · Post by **CombatGold1** » 06 Aug 2004 00:58

owen lives at scotland, on sanday island, so it would make sence if he had a scotish accent..

btw by looking at your avatar i'm sure i saw that face while working in sainsburys today - around 5pm -> 6pm GMT

But he doesn't - he's not originally from Scotland.

Orkney dialect = Norwegian-inspired. But since he's not from there, he probably doesn't speak it, eh?

Oscarv: Sandnes

Sandnes? How come? I've been there, it was nothing at all to do there..
Prefer Lillestrøm.. But I'm going seriously off topic now

dizcon · Post by **dizcon** » 06 Aug 2004 11:15

Well, it is the off topic section. Lillestrøm? E.
Sandnes is six times larger.. We have the newest and best cinema in Norway, hundreds of shopping centres, including Scandinavias largest. Norways largest indoor bathing facility, Norways longest pedestrian shopping street. Norways largest arboretum. ISP offering fibre-optics, beautiful guest bay, excellent public transport, multiple plans to move the industrial bay and build apartments, houses, beaches, an artificial island, and schools, etc near the fjord. It's the fastest growing city in Norway, always expanding with thousands of new homes in every direction. And, oh, it's been awarded the best city to live in in Norway the last two years.

fire87 · Post by **fire87** » 06 Aug 2004 11:24

It doesn't matter.. I prefer Lillestrøm

Maybe I can visit Sandnes again some time, last time I was there it weren't really a big city..
But actually, when the cinema here is ready, we will get the best cinema in Norway, and it will show many of the films there first..
And I also like the public transport here, but that must be because I'm used to it

It's a shame I'm going to move out of Lillestrøm though..
But I'm just wondering, how big is the population in Sandnes? It is well over 50.000 here.. That must mean that Sandnes has a population of
300.000, and is Norway's second largest town

dizcon · Post by **dizcon** » 06 Aug 2004 12:50

Caplex stated 10 500... A second check shows most sites say 16-20 000, 40 000 in Skedsmo Kommune.

fire87 · Post by **fire87** » 06 Aug 2004 12:54

Ehh.. The population in Skedsmo is 110.000 with 50.000 here in Lillestrøm. So I think you got some information from 96-97 because it is much more then 10.500.. Actually, I think that is the poulation in Strømmen.. So I don't believe Sandnes is bigger than Lillestrøm

lol, that's bulls***. Show me sources.

I don't have a Scottish accent, but I was originally from Scotland - my parents weren't, though. I've lived in Scotland all my life apart from a few years in 1990-1992 or so, when we lived in North Wales, and then Lancaster.

Anyway, I'm back, by the way! The King has Returned, the Supreme Ruler is Ruling once again, etc. Expect to see a load of old topics dug up as I reply to things I should reply to.
