In the fine tradition of Belcompton and “Belco” tattoos Facebook brings us the “How well do you know Belco” quiz, which bills itself thusly:

    Facts and s*** about Belco to prove how well you actually know the home of the sickest mother****ers.

According to the quiz (and we all know facebook quizzes are never wrong) I am “A real Belco mofo”, as are all my friends who’ve taken the quiz.

So Respekt Yo!

After 1995 but before 2007. Melba High and Copland College are now the same school.

I looked at the quiz but it’s obviously for people who lived there after about 1995. I left Belco in about 2002, I was there for a good 30yrs so think myself something of an expert on it (at least the ‘2615’ tattoo across my gut in 95 font (Copperplate style) say’s I am)

Yeah, I took it a couple of days ago (was I one of those friends JB?) and a bunch of us reckon there’s only one answer!

Are you a 25 year old Grandmother? You might be from Tuggeranong.

Do you have 8 “Uncles” and no Dad (or proven to be the fathher)? You might be from Tuggeranong.

If taking the kids to Jamison Pool counts as travelling and a holiday, You might be from Tuggeranong.

True story. A few years a go I lived in Chifley and was taking the dog for a walk. There was a bloke sitting in the gutter apparently just enjoying the sun. He didn’t appear strange or drunk or stoned or whatever. He was just sitting on the gutter enjoying the view. We got to talking about my dog etc and he said he was here on holidays and really liked the people and the streets and the ambiance. When I asked him where he was from he answered “Weston Creek” Quite serious and genuine I should point out. Holidays for him are obviously the next suburb!

johnboy is my hero, and subsequent belco-mofo

Not available to me! I live in Belco.

Are all your clothes made from polyester, rayon or nylon? You might be from Tuggeranong.

Maybe they should start one called: “When to admit that you are from Tuggeranong!”

Dealer Neighbours torturing a junkie in the garage? You might be from Tuggeranong.

Been rolled by a roving pack of youths? You might be from Tuggeranong.

Own a NOS Equipped Bat Barina for after work vigilanteeism? You might be from Tuggeranong.

You tell people that you live in Weston Creek? You might be from Tuggeranong.

You tell people that Belconnen is really dangerous? You might be from Tuggeranong.

You talk about the bus interchange? You might be from Tuggeranong as we in Belco dont have one.

I am so Belco that Tuggeranong was started up so young thugs could carve out a reputation of their own and not live under mine.

I got that too but you have to log in to facebook and it will let you use the application.

Humpf.

Question 8; The answer is the Labor Club, not the Labour Club. Whoever wrote the quiz must’ve lived in Belconnen for about 5 minutes.

A real quiz about Belconnen would at least have a question about the Hungry Horse and/or Captain Kiddies.

Oh! Sorry JB. Forgot to censor! It’s because I am a Tuggers bogan right? >.<

I kindly got

“F*** off you’re from Belco! More like Tuggers, you tool. Go steal a car.”

I actually am from Tuggeranong. I have been to Belco mall a total of three times now, and I was born and raised in Canberra. Don’t really see any reason to.

Our language filter cares naught for geography.

Application wouldn’t let me in. 🙂 Considering I’ve lived in Belconnen from 1978 – 98 and Feb 09 to now I reckon I’d get a decent score………….well I used to when Baringa Gardens existed.

Hahaha it was pretty easy, but there were questions in there that only a true Kambah-ian would know. Lol.

^ I did that one and I got.

“Are you even a Southsider? You must come from Belco cos even a 5 year old would get most of these questions right, do you even know what the Burnsie is?”

Well, I don’t really know cos I am a Northsider. Duh.

There is a ‘How Well Do You Know Kambah?’quiz making the rounds on there. I have to say that I passed with flyng colours.

I believe the same title with Tuggers instead of Belco.

Tuggers quiz? Do they even have internet down there?

Yeah… who would’ve thought? Unfortunately, the majority of those who do are under the age of 16 and still at high school.
