Britain ... full of lost people. Alas I have to return but if anyone thinks the South of France is **** ... it's good news for me: You lot will never make it over here and hopefully i have a new house here All Brits banned:
Luton, Slough, Aylesbury - route canal treatment without novocaine is preferable to spending time in any of those hell holes.
India is bad too, they drive down the wrong side of dual carriageways all the time, they have no concept of what they are supposed to do and the deaths are horrific.
I'd like to throw Basingstoke into the ring, but seeing as a lot of my mates (plus my Mum) live just outside, I can't really! Also, Downtown LA. First and last time that I've felt genuinely scared and threatened walking down the street - I got about 2 blocks from the hotel, turned round and walked quickly back to the motel I'd stupidly booked into from the comfort of the net. Was so worried, I didn't even go and get the smokes I needed!
Great thread twins. I've really enjoyed some of the posts on this one. My offering is Middlesborough, christ that place is a hole! I shan't be going back to Paphos, Cyprus anytime soon either.
Hong Kong. Never will you smell so much ****, walk into so many people, see so many swine flu masks and witness as many visually-impaired people in such a confined, humid, frantic ****-tip with a few nice skyscrapers wot are pretty when it gets dark.
I enjoyed LA because it was alright to drive around and Long Island and the Getty museum were good but wouldn't want to stay longer than the 6 days we did. It has a feel of being superficial that I've never seen before. Also, the smog (seen from the sides as a yellow dome) was so bad that it brought on a cold. I think my smokes were the healthiest thing to enter my lungs the entire time!!!
Like to offer Bracknell....never seen so many roudabouts in one place, concrete jungle......may have changed in last 15 years or so.
Someone started on the US, well let me add Atlanta, a sprawling soulless mess lacking culture and taste. In England it has to be Luton, really should be a Northern Town could we swap it for Harrogate
I'll also like to throw Felixstowe into the mix (since it's my last week here) for the following reasons:- -A beach that's got less sand than a building site. -Primarily inhabited by pensioners and tracksuit wearing, daytime Stella-drinking drug addicts. -Never trust a place that only has one road in and out. -It's one night club has floors so sticky that Nasa would probably want it for lunar modules (if it didn't have that overwhelming aroma of regurgitated cider). -A good day in Felixstowe is usually highlighted by avoiding the monsoon of Seagull **** (if they're not dive bombing you). The only positive I can find is that the litter strewn, junky filled, container yard is a genuine deterrent for illegal immigrants.
Reminds me of a day out at Brighton a few years back. Me and the missus were enjoying a drink at one of the beachfront bars on a beautiful sunny day when a seagull flew over and scored a direct hit on the top of my head! Only consolation was as I'm a slaphead it cleaned up easily and it missed my drink. 1-0 Revenge was sweet, last year driving onto the promenade road at Brighton a seagull flew straight into my windscreen with a sickening thud and, with it's wings spread slid down the bonnet and deposited itself in the road where it staggered off looking like it'd had a skinful... 1-1...
Naawich this has been the no1 selling record for the last 2 years http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?num=...145&start=0&ndsp=21&ved=1t:429,r:12,s:0,i:110
Worst place in the world is a village called Arab el Wazzani. A small village in South Lebanon. 300 people and 4,500 animals. You can smell the village 5 miles away. You should try spending a few hours there. People are lovely but the fu**ing smell is unbelievable.
I think we have a winner. Felixstowe sounds grim. But having said that, I'm in-between nights and I can't have a kip because the Sky News helicoptor is currently overhead at the family's house that got shot in France. Is there no-where sacred in Britain?
Love it! Our work hires a falconer to come round. It's completely pointless because the bird is on a bit of string and it just agitates the damn things. What do seagulls do when they're scared? Crap more. To this day, I've never seen one flying off with a packed suitcase and the bloke gets paid £700 for 30 mins work!
