Ahahaha this thread is dead, clearly we aren't as good as other national GAFs
One of the main things about being British is our self-depreciation.UnblessedSoul said:Ahahaha this thread is dead, clearly we aren't as good as other national GAFs

Which of you are on Google+ by the way? I have a whopping great big NeoGAF circle, but it'd be nice if I could filter that down a little to just UK GAFfers
DoctorWho said:Any recommendations for a cheap place to stay while in London. My friend and I will be there in November and we're going to start looking for places now. We don't want to do a hostel but we do want to do something on the cheap.
This could be a precursor to me moving to Britain in a year. I haven't been there since I was a kid.
Also, while my friend visits his girlfriend, I'm going to have a couple of days alone to do as I please. Exploring London alone sounds like a shit load of fun. Anywhere you'd recommend I check out that might be off the tourist path?
SteveWD40 said:Try Gumtree, put an add up for / search for people looking for short term lets. I did it when I went to Melbourne and rented a couples flat while they travelled for a few months, all inc it was about £700 for the whole 2 months.
As for exploring alone, it is awesome, I have done it a few times and loved it, just wombling about outside of rush hour in London ftw. I would recommend just starting in a place around the centre and going where your internal compass takes you, for night-life the centre can be shit but during the day it's great, some stunning architecture.

I'm not sure what my breaking point would be, but 2k ain't it.

I've always been impressed that they can keep going, surely they must reguritate plots on such a frequent basis considering that the bigger ones get like 2-3 episodes a week perhaps?Murkas said:I just saw this thread so hello.
Regarding this Doctor Who talk I have never actually seen an episode so I can't comment on it. Soap operas on the other hand...
It's eye cancer. eastenders, corronation road, hollyoaks (this is the one with the tits right). I hate them all so much. Poison on TV this is...
Meadows said:I used to watch Neighbours about 5 years ago for a year. It's quite nice to be into a soap, it gives you consistent, assured entertainment for half an hour a day.
radioheadrule83 said:At least Neighbours and Home & Away have hotties in and don't always revolve around miserable storylines. The dude who plays Dr Karl Kennedy is the man btw... he played my Uni with his band a few years ago and played near where I live more recently, he's a really nice bloke. I remember his character was nobbing that Sarah Beaumont girl on neighbours, his daughter Libby had great knockers, and he lived in the same street as Sky Mangel - who also needed a reet good cock-choking. Home and Away was at its best when it had hotness like Melissa George in it.
The best storylines were the most ridiculous as well: the olympic torch coming to Summer Bay, Paul robinsons twin sons in neighbours - one who was good and one who was evil, toady having a hot girlfriend, harold and lou carpenter's 'comedy' moments together... the amazing chemical weapon / terrorist thing in home and away
Eastenders, Coronation Street, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks should be obliterated from the airwaves. Whiny bollocks!
SteveWD40 said:The cut of your jib, I like it.
I remember Libby and her spectacular norks pretty well, I always had a thing for Katie Ritchie as well, mainly as she featured in one of the first sex tapes ever.
To be fair though Hollyoaks is now just as ridiculous as aussie soap land, storylines are mental, characters are all young, attractive and well dressed and it's always nice weather.
Never seen a fat guy in a kappa tracksuit with an Asda carrier bag once...
radioheadrule83 said:She was Sally on home and away right? Why have I not seen this tape?!
TO THE INTERNET!... ahh but I'm in work
Chinner said:okay real talk part 2, what would you rather be a rapist or a child molester?
SmokyDave said:Aaaaaargh! I keep forgetting this thread exists.
I only found it now because someone mentioned Neighbours hotties and they left out Sarah Vandenberg and Kimberley Davies.
What sort of topics go into a 'regional' thread? It'd seem odd posting news in here. I'm not grumbling though, I think this thread will serve well as a smoke-filled little boozer just off the main strip.
Should we have a 'best picture of a tramp drinking cider' competition or something?

radioheadrule83 said:You'd be an ephebophile and statutory rapist I believe. Depending on how old you are yourself, you'd probably end up on an offenders register of some sort, but I don't think you'd technically be a child molester. Your local community might take another view of course!
Not sure if I would. I could always be a polite and charming rapist, I've no idea what a shrub-rocketeer is. For all I know I might find myself fired out of a cannon atop a flaming privet.Murkas said:I'd rather be a shrub rocketeer than a rapist, that's for sure.

love it.Somebody who observes children in play from a suitably-sized herbaceous plant for the purposes of covert masturbatory facilitation. A bush-dodger.
I chose wisely. Next time, I'll be a 'shrub-rocketeer rapist'. They won't see me coming because they'll be too busy getting their voyeur on.Chinner said:
