It's pretty much all pointless outside of London, the only other city that's bigger than a million people is Birmingham which is where lonely businessmen go to pick up hookers and OD in toilet cubicles. Durham has a nice cathedral.

shut up blegum posted:It's like the second they give someone actual glass, they'll use it to stab each other in the face. A pub I occasionally frequent in my braver moods acquired plastic cups and two security men after the police got tired of doing the paperwork after breaking up fights there. They'd underestimated the regulars' dedication to violence, as about a year later someone was slightly hacked at with a machete. It's that sort of ingenuity and commitment to violent oppression that won us an Empire  Rutibex posted:
Everyone that lives in the (former) colonies is the descendant of people convicted of petty crimes and transported, whilst the current glass-wielding inhabitants of the UK are descended from the ones who weren't caught.

the united states is more or less people who left willingly, probably canada too. The exception being the georgia penal colony but that wasn't in operation long enough to count. plenty of british holdings were better than the uk and yeah the only people left are the descendents of families who owned property and their servants that were too stupid to sail west when they had the chance.

Holy poo poo I used to live directly opposite the large block of flats visible in the distance at the end of this video. I remember walking up that stretch of road where he kicks the BBQ over on my way to vote in the EU referendum. It's totally accurate.

I've been friends with a British person for years and he's explained it all to me. The "south" of england is the good part, the "north" of england is the equivalent of the american "south." People from the "south of england" are well-spoken and have money he said, and people from the "north of england" have obnoxious accents are and terrible. You can tell a northerner a few different ways from their accents. They might say "NUUUUU!!!! instead of "no" or else speak a leprechaun sounding 'dialect' if they are from certain cities. Whereas a southern person will have that charming british accent everyone likes. I think people from the middle also count as from the south though. I guess the classic dichotomy in british regional prejudice is between "northern monkeys" and "southern fairies." Its not a racist thing like that word is used for in America, but they mean the people (who are white, and in fact racists themselves) act like monkeys. Also "fairy" is british slang for a gay person, so the main insult by the north against the south is that "they are gay." He also said that there was a disaster in the north called the "hillsborough disaster" where a lot of people died, and the northerners were "pissing on the dead bodies and stealing their wallets."

Wales was weird af. After the brexit I don't feel entirely comfortable spending money in England. Maybe in london since it was heavily remain. I'd quite like to go to scotland though, the scottish seem like the good british people to me.

I'm in Liverpool. I find our homeless to be extremely polite. I shared some cigarettes with a man who was almost prone in the city centre and we had a mcdonald's and played angry birds on the tablets in there. Stevie G slipping was the funniest thing I've seen along with torres setting the second goal up on a plate. The number of times I've called the police or fire service in Birkenhead (north) is staggering. I am there most nights and there's always something to see.
