    Hi pets and Geordies,

    Coming Thursday I'll be boarding a plane to the South of England, and it'll be a one way ticket :emoticon-0103-cool:
    I found a part time Journalism study from February to June. After that I hope to find some kind of internship/work at a local newspaper/radio station/TV network. Which will complete my stay till in the UK to the end of August. Because of this I wont be on as much during this period.

    So, having said that, any tips for me for when I arrive

    Brighton's a great City. There's plenty to do there and it has a cracking nightlife. It also has a University so there should be lots of tail for you to chase <ok>

    Quadripple Dutch is better <cheers>

    Anyways, what tips can you give me on the daily life in England. I know that Tesco's is the cheap store and that Thursday night, Friday Night, Saturday Night, Sunday Night, Monday night, Tuesday night and Wednesday night are the drinking times. What's more to know?

    A key tip you need to be aware of when out in Brighton is that you must wear a pink feather boa, otherwise you will be arrested. I'm doing you a huge favour here, so please take this advice and do the right thing.

    Asda and Aldi are the cheapest stores.
    Wetherspoons pubs are the cheapest and have Heineken on draft.
