Scousers here, scousers there, scousers fucking everywhere! When I was in New York last year, we bumped into some fella from Netherton which seems like the most unlikely thing ever but it shows we get around. Like a plague of sorts. I don't really like living in Maghull, it's only 20-30 minutes from the city centre and I don't actually live in the City of Liverpool which, judging from bus routes, is a good thing but I think my main problem is the people. The kids I used to hand round with are losers and the people I'm friends with now are really dull. Liverpool's meant to have one of the best nightlifes (That can't be the right phrase but whatever) in the country but I wouldn't know because they only ever want to go to the same shit club every week where they play the same shit music. If anything, I think my time in New York and Florida have really put me off not just living here but living in England. I wouldn't get the train or even go the shop round the corner at night because I really can't be arsed getting hassled by gangs of lids but riding the subway at any time was perfectly fine and the shops were the same. I'm sure there are rough areas but this just seemed like a default area of Brooklyn and there was no hassle. Also, I've never spoken to anyone on a train or a bus but in the space of 3 weeks, I talked to a guy called Mitch whose wife got angry if he missed the midnight F Line, an old woman who arranged music for musicals in LA, some guy who thought I was from Denmark, two teen girls who were Team Edward and an incident with a model that I've posted elsewhere. I can't exactly talk like an expert but the two American cities I've been to and spent time in felt far more alive than Liverpool ever has. |

Its alright here. Long as there's shops to buy games and DVDs, and no chavs chasing trouble, I'm alright. Don't care for landmarks or nice views (That's a bonus). Probably be moving to America in the next 5 years or so, depending on what my girlfriend wants to do... |

Yeah there is still a low rent supermarket in the square but there are a few proper boozers, Lloyds is literally next door to me, in amongst the hand shandy bars and that. |

I live just close enough to the center of Oxford where it doesnt feel busy, but it's easy enough to access everything. Plus a 30 second walk to a londis and a chinky, so a pretty ace spot. Although still living with the mother brings everything down. |

Did you know it cost £15 to park down the bowling alley for that. Fucking scandles that, given its about £2 the rest of the year. Did many people turn up for it you know? It sounded popular My biggest regret was not seeing Chaz and Dave when they were in town. Still Paul Daniels was good, even if Debbie "I'd give a good one" Mcgee did give the game away on one trick by being a clumsy old bint. |

I know, right. When it's two separate occasions in the same day with girls in Team Edward t-shirts wondering what I'm doing later, it's not so bad. Granted, there was no later because bros before hoes is enforced at all times with my friends. |

I've seen some in Brighton that could definitely have several breeds of dog. They are fucking huge, some of them. |

Adelaide, South Australia: Quite possibly the best place to live in the world, nice and peaceful yet at the same time everything's here if you look for it. Nothing's ever any hastle you just take everything in your stride and having an accent helps alot with meeting people. The "rough" areas are a stoll in the park compared to what we'd describe as rough back home. I've found since coming here that I'm much more open to getting out and about where as at home (Bradford) I'd think it was a world of effort to get on a train and go 15 minutes into Leeds. Some of the nicest beaches in the world too and because there's loads of them they're never packed unless you go to Glenelg (main tourist area) but even then there's room. Adelaide is more English than England is, it's the stereotype of England that foriegners think of. The buildings look like they belong in Victorian London, there's green trees and parks everywhere and royal crests and statues all over the place. Adelaidians get shit from other Australians because thier accent is too "British" the Adelaidians don't mind because they go to other cities and the birds think they're English. It's full of English, where I live, Hallett Cove is nicknamed Little Britain, during the World Cup this little tavern in South Australia was playing all the England football songs. The Australians love us too, never get any bother about being foriegn all I ever get is "love the accent" or "love you poms" the Australia/England rivalry has got to be the biggest love-fest going. In summary: yeah, it's not bad. |

My family nearly emigrated to Australia when I was 17. In the end we didn't because my dad wasn't sure if he would have any success re-starting his business there. I'd still love to live there despite the problems Loggy points out but it would have to be in Melbourne which I think is the coolest place outside of Tasmania down there? |

Similar thing happened to my family, before I was born though. My dad was concerned that he might not be able to get any work down there and put it off and never got round to it again. Probably for the best though as one of his mates who went over and didn't tell him about the company he was working with ended up getting ripped off as it was all a scam. We have distant family over there and a few of us have gone over to visit and say it's really nice but it just seems too hot and infested with fuck off huge creepy crawlies for me. Having one of them tell a story of opening a garage door and, as it swung open, a Huntsman spider dropped on his face. That was enough for me. Edited by Handsome Dead, 26th July 2010 - 03:25 PM.

Christ, I thought it was largely an exaggeration about the spiders over there as well. Fuck that. I shit myself when I ran into a swarm of flying ants when I went out yesterday, fuck knows what I would do if that happened to me. |
