Ah man. I basically had a sales job nailed down in Liverpool, earning £200-400/450. I could get temporary accommodation with my friend, but not permanent with my friend (due to some legal issues or something). They said ring back if you can sort it out. Gutted.

Can you not just have your mate's address and then "move" when you get something permanent? It's not hard to find places to rent in Liverpool - especially now the students are coming back. There'll be a load of rooms available.

 

[Xun]

Why the FUCK do I ALWAYS go to Maccy D's at the end of a night? Every time I say "naawww i won't go tonight, I'll resist", then get a little drunk or a lot drunk and say YEAAAAHH ALL THE SHITTY CHEESEBURGERS AND FRIES YOU GOT YOU GREASY CUNTS!


EDIT: Also if you can't deal with rain then British festivals probably aren't for you
I felt at leeds there were a lot less total pricks around than last year and we did see a couple of these shitty little 15 year olds trying to start Unecessary pits getting decked, which was nice.

EDIT 2: UNecessary, not necessary, derp.

Pretty much me.

I'm going out tomorrow night, this will probably happen when I'm waiting at Victoria station...

 

[Cindres]

It'll happen again to me tomorrow night (Thursday night) no doubt, off out in Leeds for my birthday so yeah, I'll be too fucked to have any self control.

Any Brit-Gaffers from Leeds bump into me tomorrow night, well, you know what to do

Honestly, when he gets back home this week I'm going to have a chat with him and see how temporary the temporary accommodation is. If it's a few months, then I'll seriously consider going up. In that time I could build up money, and then consider whether I do want to rent accommodation or just go via train.

 

[Meadows]

Leeds is shite, fucking hate it.

 

[MarkMclovin]

Leeds is shite, fucking hate it.

True. Best club in the UK is there though. If I had a penny for everytime I went there...

Now I feel bad for going in there when I'm sober.

 

[SmokyDave]

If we're picking on UK cities, can I ask what the fuck is wrong with Leicester?

I had to drive through there last week and I don't think I've ever seen such a drab and shitty collection of ramshackle shops and buildings. No offence Leicester-GAF but your place is god-awful. At least employ some cleaners or something. I've not been to Leicester in about a decade but I'm sure it wasn't such a hole last time.

 

[Johnlenham]

For some reason I allways skipped over this thread. Living down in Kent (have my whole life) at the moment but hopping to move up to London soon!

Leicester was a hole when I had a couple of interviews there with British Gas, about 14 years ago.

all of the uk pretty much fucking sucks, not really surprised that everybody is apathetic cause theres nothing to really give a shit about.

Meh, London's where it's at.

 

[Johnlenham]

Pretty much. I must have been up London everyother weekend since about June crashing at Friends flats. So much going on if your into music, hoping to god I get an interview soon so I can get out of Kent and up there sharpish!

 

[Cindres]

Let's also not talk shit about Newcastle. IT might have its downs but it's fucking great up there.

 

[JonCha]

So, the best club in the country is in Leeds but what is it called?

 

[Chinner]

brutezone

or probably hi-fi.

Friend of mine has travelled to some shit-holes in the developing world, Madagascar, Ethiopia, Nigeria etc...

He said he hasn't seen a group as miserable as the English, kids picking through shit in a dump are happier than most of this fucking island.

We live in an advanced country with all the comforts and choice in the world and without the weirdo religion and lack of social care that the US has, only some EU country's have it better, and we are still a whinging bunch of cunts.

I think the English thrive on hardship. Deep down we want things to get worse so we can stiffen our upper lips and triumph over adversity.

Either that, or seeing people swigging white cider from 2 litre bottles on your way to work just totally robs you of any good cheer. I know that's why I'm in a foul mood today. I don't understand why we permit the existence of these fucking dead weights.

The worst shithole I've ever encountered was a shitty border town in Cambodia, called Poipet. Peoople digging through open sewers yet they did seem happier than your average English man.

In other news I passed my first solid yesterday after a week of food poisoning.

You need a missus.

Get on plentyoffish.com before I have to come up there and forcibly find you a mate.

 

[Chinner]

oh god, one of my friends was "trolling" POF cause hes been reading the misc forums too much, and i made an account so i could see who he was trolling. i searched leeds out of boredom and there were like two people who seemed normal/hotl, the rest were either too weird or reminded me of meddows so i deleted it because fuck i'm not dating anybody from the INTERNET.

Weird chicks are generally adventurous in bed. Annoying as fuck to talk to though, especially the ones that are just desperate to let you know how 'weird' they are.

OK, so online dating is a no-no, for now. What are your hobbies? How can we leverage those into getting you some clunge? Thought about taking Salsa classes? They can increase your confidence and get you dealing with ladyfolk with the added bonus that you'll be able to tear up the floor afterwards.

 

[BGBW]

I've been told to take up either ball room or salsa for a while now. Haven't danced much since I was 17 and that was mostly jazz/contemporary. Probably should consider it since it would be good exercise.

 

[Cindres]

Just learn street dancing and hit up some clubs, you'll get some FREAKY bitches, I've seen it from my flatmates... (Yeah I can't fucking dance, drunken flailing is what it is, much like when I'm having sex).

 

[Chinner]

can't i just treat women poorly? that seems effective.

 

[Musha_Soturi]

Dude, if you want short-term satisfaction that's absolutely the way to go.

You won't be able to live with yourself though. You don't have what it takes to be a proper bastard.

 

[Chinner]

you're not my dad! you can't tell me what i can and can't do!

 

[SmokyDave]

you're not my dad! you can't tell me what i can and can't do!

Yeah, about that. Me, you and your mother are going to need to have a sit-down chat fairly soon...

 

[Monkeylord]

Whilst browsing the ol' iPlayer last night I came upon a "game show" entitled "Epic Win".


What the hell are you spending my licence money on, BBC!?!!



It was like Youtube in real life, only the people showcased got anything up to £3000 and it takes nearly an hour to show 4 things. They even had "the door of Epic Fail" for those who don't get through their self-imposed challenge.


Internet invading real life to the extreme.
FFS!!!

 

[Xun]

Burger King was sadly shut and I had to get on the train.

That was probably the main road with all the Hindu jewelers / dress makers / curry houses right? The pedestrian center isn't as bad, especially since they did up Highcross.

I moved to Leeds for a work placement in July and I don't see what's so bad about it, seems like a pretty nice city. Although I come from a market town in Leicestershire and go to Uni in Loughborough so my frames of reference for British cities isn't great.

Can't comment, I've heard bad things about Scunthorpe but I personally haven't been.
Though I have been to Southampton...

Walking down the road, minding my own bizwacks, and then I trip and stumble. I look behind me at what I had tripped over, and

This is a common sight in London. I'm surprised we haven't seen more people seriously injured. Imagine if you were running and your front toe met that..

Whoa. I've seen a few cracked/warped pavements in my 26 years of living in London, but not as bad as that.
