Topic: Blackwood, Caerphilly


  
  Blackwood - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Blackwood, a pretty and peaceful town in the Welsh valleys, was created when God waved a sparkly wand and brought forth a land of plenty amongst the coal tips and slurry, where sheep supped from the alcohol fountains and the cigarette trees were always in fruit.
It was a magical, beautiful place, but then a group of people called Caerphilly County Borough Council (a group of people elected because they can shout louder than anyone else) served God with a compulsory purchase order, and thought they could do the job better than God.
Blackwood also famously sports the only roundabout in the world where you can only go all the way around it before 7:30 at night.
