The United Kingdom really sucks?

there's a riot currently underway in north london, because of tension between the locals and the police

basically a man got shot dead by police in dubious circumstances, police are saying he fired first and hit a policemans radio, ''eyewitnesses'' are saying thats not the case

there were reporters on the scene, so theyve all moved out i think so theres no more live footage

I shouldnt laugh but people have looted weave and fried chicken

Essex not mentioned? Shame on this forum.

Universally renowned as the birth place of the slapper, Essex girls DO live up to their worldly reputation.

Go to Southend-on-Sea for the most authentic, seedy and awesome experience you'll have in the Western world.

No pros or semi pros or anything of the sort. Just your awesome Essex-girl-next-door.

Brighton is great. Best in summer and make sure it's the weekend.

Newcastle - another mad party place. City itself looks dreadful but has more pubs and clubs than office buildings. Well that's an exaggeration but you get the picture.

Are there a lot of ug's and fatties in England? Sure. Are there a lot of real hotties as well? Definitely.

I love those Essex girls. Thick as 2 short planks but fine as hell.

I've been wanting to have a go at Essex for a while now. Do you have some data to share on Southend? I usually stay in Central London; how would you deal with logistics there? Get a hotel?

Quote

^ Was there some years ago, so useless to write data sheet now. However for what it's worth:

Southend has a large promenade on the beach full of pubs, and a couple of clubs parallel to it.

Definitely get a room for yourself, this is what screwed me over since i had a girl literally tell me "ok come on let's go" but we had no where to go, and she was staying at her parents herself. This is since I was a stupid backpacker staying in London and too stingy to get a room. These essex girls in my experience - no way they're gonna go for the teenage stuff like fuck on the beach or at the hostel with 20 people around and so on. Get a room.

Another place that was a blast was Chelmsford - another essex town, with a couple of cool clubs and a great essex atmosphere and girls, if you know what I mean.

However Chelmsford is just a big industrial town. Southend is much more of an anthropological experience.

Only caveat is that this was some years ago. Things may have changed since then, scenes do change, so take what I write with a grain of salt. Not that essex girls changed, just the party places and so on.

Also, didn't see any excess of fatties there AT ALL. Mostly hot essex girls. However once again - maybe in the past few years, they started eating more..


Newcastle - was there last NYE. Tons of party places. Some fatties sure, but a lot of hot ones too. But didn't pull. Was definitely not at my prime vibe that night, so by no means this implies that you wouldn't.

Brighton - was also there last year. there's some good places near the odeon theatre, forgot the name of the street, but it's famous. Plus tons more on the beach.

In all those places (as well as the rest of england except london) - expect some whacked, whacked british girls. almost all of them dressed to the 9's, as far as body and face - some super super hot and some nothing to write home about.

The key thing to remember about this scene is that it's completely whacked. It takes some getting used to. Chances are if you haven't seen it before, you'll just sit there speechless for the first couple of nights. It feels a bit like a nutter house but all the mental patients are chicks dressed to the 9's and some very hot. But almost all of them act mental.

@gig thanks for the info. I'll be going there for a night or two when I'm next in London.

That slag train scene can be insane. I've been out in Croydon a few times (think the place was called Loop) and had scantily clad girls coming up to me and grinding like pros. They mostly weren't very attractive though.

Quote

One of the times I was in Brighton, I went with a friend who doesn't party much, but is extremely good looking. He had one beer too many. As he was model like looking, a girl pulled him over to have a sit with her at a table near the dance floor. 5 minutes into the interaction, he out of nowhere started throwing up right then and there. Messed up the whole table. Girl was shocked, and unfortunately for him, the bouncer witnessed it all. You know how it is in the UK nightclubs.. he was swiftly and decisively dragged out of the club and thrown to the street. Was whining about it with tears in his eyes the entire next day, as the girl was into him and was looking nice, and not being a party guy he was really excited about it and felt he missed it out badly. Well, at least he missed out spectacularly LOL

Oceania isn't that in Croydon, I have been there..

There's an Oceana in Kingston upon Thames, which I've been to. It's massive, full of hot sluts and idiots. Very aggressive vibe though. There's more aggression and tension in places like Croydon and other areas on the periphery. Lots of guys cockblocking or picking fights. I was standing outside Oceana talking to a girl at 3am when this hooligan looking lad walked up to me, stared at me and called me a dickhead ten times in a row hoping I would confront him and get into a fight. Just walked away.

There's also an Oceana in Watford. Would like to revisit, but between terrible logistics and the time it takes to get out there it never seems worth it when the local meatmarket will do.

No.

I think London is dope. Hell, there are honestly only a couple of American cities that even hold a candle to it.

The class and quality of the place makes America look cheap in comparison.

Expensive though.

G no offense but you have never lived there. Going to somewhere as a tourist is an ENTIRELY different perspective.

You are just quoting travel brochure talk. You went there with money, you went to Marylebone, they oo'd and ahh'd your American accent and your swag and you made your mind up.
Work there, live there for years and then I'd love to hear your song.
You'll run back to the U.S with tears in your eyes.

You try living there for five years and I'll see you sing the same tune when you have to buy a rainjacket to prevent your custom suit from Saville Row from being destroyed by the incessant downpours. When you find out that there is hardly any sun and when you see the level of hater-ism in London.

I remember playing ball once, these guys both jumped this guy from NYC just because they were hating on America. The British culture is about hating.

For an interesting and accurate depiction of London, obtain and watch the two films called Kidulthood and Adulthood. It's based on the West London lifestyle (West London is the most affluent part of London, Madonna and Gillian Anderson have a house there and you will often see Hugh Grant milling around).
When you absorb that film, you will see what the deal is with London.

Moma -

Good tip.

I just finally watched Kidulthood.

It is kind of like "Kids" for the London set.

That's real talk there. Do you think that the riots will have affected it this year or not really? Do you reckon there will be an increased police presence there or what?

It was my pleasure, G. I try to provide accurate intel if and when I can.

Yeah I really wouldnt fancy getting stuck in the middle of a riot. I think everyone is going to be a bit edgy. It can get pretty tense at the best of times. Personally Im not a fan of Carnival.
Best thing to do is find a nice pub with a cool crowd and hang there all day. There will be plenty of posh totty getting wasted prime for pickings.
The cow pub on westbourne park road - That's the hottest tip you will get from me this year.

riots gone guys, posh totty you need to work your way through the horsey set. where i was born (home counties) has a ton of girl-next-door-in-a-mansion-off-their-face-at-the-weekends-casual-drug-user stereotypical-upper-class totty, hell i even went to school with some of them.

problem, gigantic egos driving them to want to fuck the shit out of any ruggers (read rugby) lads or some american they met at val thorens when they went on their skiing holidays, and basically no one else, oh and if you're asian, (read south asian) you are going to have to play up the assholebadboyishness to offset any natural stereotyping

that was my experience anyway, i was shit at game at school when i had the chance and became really good (relative to where i was) when i moved away to uni, nights out everyday of the week, many woman from all of the world and 5 years later, im much more into travelling (next trip, czech republic, poland shortly after) than the british gal.

i dont want to poopoo any guys over the pond in America about the quality of british woman, but really they're not great. at all. really

I always heard the cardiff scene was pretty good, I must say there where a few nice girls there.

Are young British women killing themselves with Binge drinking?
The daily Mail thinks so!

What else are you supposed to do in towns like Warrington?
I'm sure the US has equivalent places that could invoke despair and desire to get off your head come the weekend.

But apart from Russia I don't know other countries where it's so bad with regards alcohol/women.

It's not just 18 to 25 year olds though...we all did some "roaring" ....but women in their 30's getting blotto every weekend?
That's a malaise or a cultural virus.
Are they just morons ?

I am in Toronto now. I have also lived in NYC and Boston. I was depressed for the first 2 years I moved here from London. This was a while ago when Toronto was not nearly as cosmopolitan and worldly as it is now. It is better, but still nowhere near London.

Actually, Miami is the most international city in the world followed by Toronto

I´ve lived near the place mentioned above...Warrington.

I am in South American currently. I can tell you now that it´s more dangerous going out (at night) in Warrington and similar towns than in most parts of South America! And the women are much more likely to attack you if you so much as long at them ´wrong´. Most Brit girls who go out at night in these towns are like pond life.
