Satenza Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Haha, well. I don't speak like that since i don't live in those areas of Manchester :P It's only being reconsidered cos' places like Blackpool are complaining about it. Screw them, i want a nice place to waste my money. With so many trees in the city you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life. But you knew that there would always be the spring as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person had died for no reason. In those days though the spring always came finally but it was frightening that it had nearly failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Of course I bloody have, its called Luton and its diabolical. If you want to get mugged and feel like you're living in the middle-east then by all means visit there for a 'broader' view of England.How can you call Luton a "broader view of england" when its only 30miles from London.

To get a proper view of england you'd have to visit all of it since all the places have a lot of variation... One thing to be aware of... There is a massive north / south divide in england, especially north east, south east.. South people think the north is full of poor pikeys and coal miners and such.. and Northern people think every southern person is a posh git. It would be wise not to argue with these stereotypes. also.. if you want a proper view of a chav... http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=7908609658482712171&q=devvo&total=929&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0 thats really not suitable for younger people, just a warning.. but it is horrifyingly accurate.

Redman4933 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 The UK? It's OK, but Scotland is the best!

bbalking Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Satenza, I'm from Manchester and nearly fell out my chair when you said it's the best city in England?! Are you having a laugh! It's a [cabbage] hole! We created the "Chavs" and have the worst teenage pregnancy/drinking and smoking records... the city centre is nice as of all cities but there is no way that we can be considered the best city. We have won the rights to a casino because yeahhhh you know what we can do? Instead of improving the terrible conditions our suburbs are in let's build a casino and put everyone in debt yeah much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbington Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Personaly I dont like london, like many other major cities people are alwasy rushing and very often rude. If you want to see the real england you need to come up North.... there is a little thing you may hear alot about in England......"the north south devide" Alot of southeners dont like northeners and northeners dont like southeners..... It's not everybody but it is a clear devide when looking at the bigger picture. North is better :) "whats the best place in Engalnd" I hear you yell! BOLTON, look it up eveything good comes from bolton! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4tty Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 london is full of foreigners and crime, i wouldnt advise going to london, every city had bad areas and good areas though. some areas are rough and infested with chavs (you have to be careful in them areas), some areas are "posh", some areas are "Normal", and the south is way different to the north, so be careful and if you want a "full view" of what its like youll need to visit alot of places. i live in a small town in the northwest and theres very little crime and hardly any chavs and the ones who are id barely even consider chavs and even then not many "bad crimes" from them, chavs usually live in the "poor parts" of cities which have lots of council housing. the "floods" havent affected me at all seeing as where i live is basically on the highest part of town, the bad thing is to get home its all uphill :( also theres no such thing as a "british accent", northerner's accents are quite different to people from the south's accent.

Just because they are in close proximity does not mean they are the same. Thats why I suggested Luton. I have also been to Somerset many times and I can safely say its one of the dullest places ive visited. Loads of dam bungalows everywhere.

JIMMIE Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 London rocks, but Manchester is still the most livley place for culture, music and experience. Anyway, forget all the stereotypes that we live in towers and castles or in depressing streets with cobbled roads. Englands a beautiful country at places because of our history mainly, and it's a hell of a lot of fun! WRONG UG! The union jack is this: The UK is great. The South is so much better than the north in my honest opinion. Having moved around the country ALOT of times in just 13 years. Born in scotland :). Now Live in souther England. Anyway. Just try and keep out of the dodgy places :P. Actually, its only a Union Jack when it is flown as a jack on the bow of a ship. Its the Union Flag. Next time, when you get all excited that you have finally got the chance to prove someone wrong, make sure you have the correct information, eh? ~JIMMIE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 That's a technicality JIMMIE because its almost always referred to as a Union Jack even when not flown at sea. "the BBC website disregards the term "union flag" because of its "great potential for confusion", preferring union jack (in lower case)." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4895076.stm While the flag posted by Satenza was definitly wrong you cannot claim that Arkano5 is also wrong in his posting. If you ignore the fact that I posted above why its referred to at a jack anyway you have no idea that when he posted it on the forum that he WASNT referring to the version flown at sea.

Sparx Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Ok im from manchester, but I currently live in the mountains of north wales lol. So i know what it's like to live in both the city and coutryside in both england and wales :P It's a fab place to live, but ive noticed a lot of people say it's awful cos of chavs. I totally agree there, but if you block out that minor hitch, the actual place isn't bad! Oh and as for english food, if you know where to look, there's fantastic english food around ;) Full english breakfast beats american junk any day :D and on the whole MANCHESTER OWNS! (more than london does tbh... i hate london lol) of course u get all the dodgy suburbs, but u get that everywhere :P and finally North > South. (It's cheaper, more landscapey and the accents are more amusing :P) <-- talking of accents don't go to liverpool, for some reason, the scouse accent really bugs me lol Join The Dark Alliance :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 There's been another terror alert today and the police have just closed Liverpool airport due to a security alert. Aparently there was a suspicious car parked outside it. It was fully taxed with MOT and it still had the original car sterio.

Darkluniux Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Ahhh London *drinks some tea followed with a long breath*, London it is like a big and stuffy and verish regal piece of nice and cuteish furniture mixed with an accent likeish speaking in a different manner by talking about very much and nothing at the same time, it is called random gibberish and if thou canest understand it, you're O.K. By the way, Handel rocks! Ah yesh, London, the home of Mr. Bean, the craddle of the mages, the place of cities called after a souce and where the cities are called just like runescape's or warcraft's cities! http://darkluniux.blogspot.comBehold my blog! Thou shalt visit it and rejoice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctp080188 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 If you've been to New York, the London is basically the equivalent. Minus the hispanics and replace them with Indians/Pakistanis/Bengalis. Just stay away from Lewisham, Brixton, Hayes, Stratford, Hackney, Finsbury, Tottenham, Acton, Wood Green, Feltham, Mitcham, Highbury, Clapham, Kilburn and Harlesden. Stay away from anywhere where the locals say "north wheezey" (north west). Chavs and gangs around those parts of those areas. Not saying the whole area is like that, but Lewisham is the hypest place at the moment. Boys even started to wear red and blue in flippin Brixton, (yes I live there...) Taking the piss doesn't mean taking a piss. It just means "making fun of". Slang is abundant, and unfortunately most people fall victim to it. I only speak for the people I know however. I'll give a quick translation of common slang words. Man Dem = Men/Boys Innit = Isn't it? Buff = Good looking, doesn't mean muscley. Shank = Knife Skeen/Seen = An expression to mean "I understand what you're saying" Murked = Someone or something that has been destroyed. Cotch = relax Wasteman/wastegash= loser (male/female) Bait = obvious Long = Time consuming Safe = Can mean "good" or as a greeting. On road = Around or from the street Bare = a lot or very. E.g. It's bare hot = it's very hot. BRRRAAAP = a term showing excitement. Butters = ugly Brass = broke, no money Boid = When someone has been insulted or openly ignored. I could go on for days. I'll stop there though. I was brought up on slang. Luckily for the boards I do not type the way I speak. For food I'd suggest a Carribbean restaurant. Yeah English food, I don't much appreciate it. Be prepared for a nation of binge drinkers. Oh and if you smoke, don't be prepared to inside public places. To get around London, if you're under 16, get a travel card, not sure if you can apply for an oyster card for under 18s. Oyster card is a "cheaper" method of travel via tubes and buses, but is still a complete rip off. Yeah, and bring a lot of money. Things are so expensive in central. Unless you shop exclusively at Lidl. God I'm gonna stop now before this doesn't end. SHH HUT YUH MUH. DERKHED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelrage150 Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 take earmuffs, dude, seriously. I took a trip to London, the British accents almost drove me insane.
