Hometown Postcard

August 9, 2010

While the inter-continental nature of the Oh Cheers contributors is referenced infrequently by the wider press, its primary journo-nodes (journodes) are in the Earthbound cities of Melbourne and London.

However, it is often too easy to neglect our roots, and it is with this in mind that the latest image-riffery is a nod to (some of) our origins: a glorious bicentennial settlement on the south coast of England; a town where seasides, ice creams, students and the elderly nestle together in a sticky mess of foal abuse.

Yes, we’re speaking about none other than Bournemouth. Wish you were here?

Foal Abuse (Child of Horseboy?)

Peaceful. Too Peaceful.

  1. I have to say, having not been to Bournemouth for many a year, this article does raise nostalgic hairs on the back of my neck. Many a fine time had in said town, although I left feeling like I’d fallen asleep with with my head inside a washing machine on a 40 minute fast cycle. And I was feeling a little horse… what are the chances! But then I was 17 at the time. Looking forward to the next post.
