Ok I was walking home with my friend the other day and my friend's friend came up and started talking to us. He said that went to London and was on the London Bridge ok. So he say he was taking a pic and hit the ralling and fell in the river. Than he say he was laugh his head off and so was everyone else around him????????????

 

Now my question is: Is the ralling on the London Bridge really that low? The kid is not that tall. I have been to London and Under the Bridge and if he did some how fall off, you would think he would have broken something. What do you think?

 

 

That isn't London Bridge

 

That's Tower Bridge.

London Bridge sure is ugly though!

ok, i will....

that isnt london bridge

this is:

:rolleyes:

yes someone did buy old London bridge

because they thought they were buying Tower Bridge ... LOL

 

And the Song ' London Bridge is falling Down'

 

Is actually about the time when the Vikings pulled down the original London Bridge

Centuries ago, When they invaded London and hooked up some ropes

too the old London bridge and sailed down the thames pulling down the bridge

Damn Vikings ...

 

If you ever visit Tower Bridge dont just walk across the road surface

there is in fact a walk way that goes over the top

 

Its so that if the bridge is raised for ships to pass under

People can still walk across the bridge. thats why you can see

that part across the top joining the 2 towers.. its a walk way

and a great view too :)

 

I think there has been atleast 4 Bridges called ' London Bridge' over the years.

 

Also there did use to be Houses and shops on one of the old london bridges

but during the great fire of London 1666, the flames crossed the river

buy burning the houses on the bridge. and the flames crossed from the south bank

over too the North side of London.

 

After that no buildings were alowed to be built on any of the bridges.

There are only 4 bridges in the world with shops on them. One of which is Pulteney Bridge in Bath :smug:

 

And Are you telling me that wikipedia is wrong with that picture of london bridge?

Buildings on Bridges were common long ago

But after the fire of London its was no longer allowed in London.

 

Because it helped to spread the fire from one side of the river too the other side.

That's not London Bridge in your pic' date=' that's Tower Bridge. :dozey:[/quote']

 

LMAO! Ah, well, we all make mistakes. When I read the title of the thread I thought he was talking about the Fergie song...

it's the kind of song that you listen to in the car- alone. Ok, I'll tell you a secret. There was this one time when I was alone that I sang Hilary Duff's "The Beat of My Heart"

I couldn't help it!:bigcry: The beat, man!

oh....well there you go :blank:

 

i've only been there once...did the whole tourist thing and visited the london eye, tower bridge, cleopatras' needle, big ben etc ...yes it was a very touristy day :cool: i felt so foreign!

Did you know, cleopatras' needle has nothing to do with cleopatra?

yeah i did know that. they probably should've renamed it to avoid misunderstandings but i think it makes it interesting, as interesting as they get. ..

And did you know, London isnt technically a city?

lol no i didn't know that. so full of information today neil? please tell me more about things i may or may not already know

Well theres only 2 cities in london - the City and Westminster.

 

The rest of it really is just a mass of towns that have sprawled over the area and merged to form 1 big city.

 

fanta was developed in Nazi Germany

 

The Thames used to be a lot wider and shallower - then the victorians built the embankment and narrowed it.

 

San Marino is the worlds oldest Republic

 

San Marino scored the fastest goal ever in world cup history

8 seconds against England

 

San Marino have only ever won game - against mighty Lichtenstein

 

San Marino won the European club Baseball championship last year

i recall the fanta fact.

to be honest, i never knew of san marino until recently, i didn't even know it's existence nevermind it's location, but that goes for a lot of places...

the 'oldest republic' fact reminded me of india having the oldest democracy...

 

all i can say for san marino is congrats on the world cup record, that is really impressive and a fact i certainly did not know.

San Marino is a great country - We should all go there! Its a really nice country.

so full of useless information :rolleyes:

you should go on a game show or something:D

i would think that he might've hurt something, though i can't say that i've ever been to london ENGLAND, so i wouldn't know for sure, but it doesn't seem like he could have everyone around because it would've taken a while to actually go down to him and laugh at him if he was hurt..right?

It wouldve taken him a while to get out as well.

 

I think hes telling porkies.
