Theatre of Pompey

The Theatre of Pompey was the worlds largest theatre ever built.

It was financed by Pompey The great during his second Consulship of the Ancient Roman Republic in 55 BC.

It was built in the Campus Martius area outside the ancient city walls.

It is behind this theatre in the curia of the Theatre of Pompey that Julius Caesar was murdered by the senate.

pompey

An island connected to the civilised world by a series of bridges. Luckily, this place is easily avoided by use of the M27. A funny smell is a common occurance from this area - usually of fish or raw sewage.

The Pompey 'fans' are known as skates and their team play at a place with is alledgely a football pitch. During the week, this is also used for grazing livestock.

A rather pointless and dreary place not worth visiting - avoid at all costs

pompey

A dwelling place on the south coast of England. Famous for the inbreeding of its population, which numbers almost 200,000 yet is reckoned to be completely related through just three generations. The average age of pregnancy is 13 although that is just an average.

When the Pompey football team host a home game and as many as 1,000 Millwall fans turn up, it is reckoned that the average IQ of the city rises by as much as 30 per cent during those two hours.

Pompey inspired Charles Darwin’s theory when he returned from his famous voyage on HMS Beagle and wrote the Origin of Species. The people of Pompey were he reckoned the missing link. Knuckles trailing along the ground wearing grooves in the pavement seemed to bear this theory out.

It was following a bombing raid on Pompey that the British Government considered paying the Luftwaffe for making such great improvements to the city.

An island on the south coast which is reclamed land, this was done a long time ago by dropping stones and rock and cement and there you have it portsmouth , I think its about 800 years old but your better off checking the history books to be accurate.
I was born there , we have the most famous and best sk8 park in the country , dont take my word for it ask the bmx and sk8 board magazines and they will tell you .

As for football what can i say apart from we done it before and we can do it again .
portsmouth is also home of the royal navy.
On the mainland there is a place called cosham where they have a brand new big hospital , which comes in handy , the qa has been rebuilt at a cost of £2.5 billion of tax payers money .
I think the best part is portsdown hill and the view point car park and the churchillian pub , the pub was named after the great man cos he use to drink in there when he was doing his millitary business , the view point car park at night is amazing with all the lights and that , there is always people there 364 days a year 24hrs a day .
