I'm really struggling to question your relevant experiences which might validate that claim; it seems so deeply popular a sentiment with people who have never spent more than a moment's thought regarding the US. However, I will choose to take neither the high or low road out, but the middle one when I ask:

Do you arrive at such cheap and easy generalizations because you are willfully ignorant or simply because you cannot understand basic ideas if they're not simplified or distilled to a single word which is under five letters?


Why would anyone from the uk want to go to the us?

People who have this weird distaste for Birmingham tend to have never lived there. Its odd hearing how terrible brum is from Londoners who complain endlessly about how terrible London is and its nice not having to live in a shoebox.

Brummies are the best people in the UK, but Birmingham is an absolute shithole. Hopefully all the Londoners get swept out to sea by climate change related flooding and it's rightful owners can take over once the place dries out.

It's time for an important scientific survey

a) Where did you grow up
b) Do you know who Purple Aki is
c) How surprised where you to find out he is actually real

quote:

Arobieke was released on licence from prison on 26 October 2006. Unusually, Merseyside police applied to Liverpool Magistrates' Court for an interim Sexual Offences Prevention Order against him, although he was never convicted of a sex offence. Under the terms of the order, Arobieke was banned from touching, feeling, or measuring muscles; asking people to do squat exercises in public; entering the towns of St Helens, Warrington, or Widnes, without police permission; and loitering near schools, gyms, or sports clubs.[6] The ban was later overturned as "draconian" [12] but remained in force after a successful appeal by police.[13]

On 25 May 2007 Arobieke approached a man in a shopping centre in Preston and commented upon the size of his biceps before "touching them without permission". He was arrested shortly afterwards, on suspicion of breaching his Sexual Offences Prevention Order, and remanded in custody.[13]

He was later convicted of breaching this order[14] and jailed for a further 15 months,[15] with the muscle touching ban being made permanent.

Lol what a mentalist.

Lol touching muscles is against the law.

I love how everyone from Birmingham seems to have left Birmingham yet when you encounter them in Weston-Super-Mare or wherever they still just complain about loving Birmingham all the time.

They probably regret moving and are trying to convince themselves they made the right decision.

Honestly, you're well behind on the hey day for that kind of thing. If you like hanging out with k'd up teenagers and being robbed in a warehouse that had its address plastered all over Facebook, then there's a hilariously weak attempt at a party once a year. There are tons of good things in licensed venues that look and feel just like your traditional piss-soaked basement squat round here though so it's not like you're missing out much - just pop along to Antwerp Mansion if you want venues with half the stairs missing. Some of them are even 'semi-legal' which gives it a more authentic feel whilst you're paying five quid for a balloon.

Apart from warehouse project stuff what are the decent nights in Manchester these days?

Sure is a shame the BBC aren't running any kind of competition in the run-up to Eurovision where 4 industry veterans and the unwashed public vote for people who have the best Voice to sing a song for the illegal immigrant benefit-stealing scum.

The song the BBC overseers did pick, I kinda like. It's poo poo by any standard, but it ticks a lot of Eurovision boxes. This year they seem to have drunk the Kool-Aid and gone all out to produce a Eurovision-quality dong instead of just re-animating corpses frozen since the 80s.

Bonnie Tyler had no place in Eurovision last year. She already had a career path laid out appearing on anti-smoking pictures on cigarette packets.

I'l always remember gemini's entry and the bbc had a whole show dedicated to picking a song to go through and it was that one and it was this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIqItP--pGY

That video has everything that was wrong with early-2000s music in it, along with it being a terrible song. No surprise it earned nul points and there was even some talk of the uk's involvement with the invasion of iraq going against it as well.

What turns me off Wetherspoons is stag and hen parties gravitate to them, so when you're not being jostled by a bunch of screaming women in pink cowboy hats you're being jostled by a bunch of loud arsed wankers with upturned collars.

Over the years on SA pubchat comes up and it inevitably boils down to a lot of pubs are crap and average and some are good but ultimately if you don't like drunk people and people getting loud you never will and that the weirdly prevalent goon dream of having fiercely intimate chats about internet things and video games down a boozer where chavs, "bros", drunk women, football fans, rugby fans, teenagers, old people, gig goers, students, creeps, weirdos, posh people, kids, druggies, bankers, hen/stag parties and pricks simply dont exist is a fantasy.

2 beers, nowhere near tipsy but I want to give my opinion:

We're hosed. I tried to speak to somebody in work about politics today, she said she doesn't care as long as they run the country well, but if she had to choose she thinks Nigel speaks sense because yes, immigration is bad. When I tried to convince her to vote she just laughed it off. Another, when I asked, said that 'You should never discuss politics or religion'. Religion I could guess, but politics is built around discussion. I was speechless on both accounts because I am not a talkactive person.

I noticed on one of the Call Clegg transcripts that people will ask the worst questions of people in power. Latest was 'Do you think Manchester United was wrong to sack Moyes'. I'm not sure if it was a planted question or not, but if the only thing you have to ask of the people who control your life, have the potential and the ability to basically starve the vulnerable is THAT FOOTIE EH M8, then as a country, I guess we're pretty hosed.

Oh look you are "that" guy
