Apart from our fantastic underground music scene...WTF has england got to offer! It's rubbish! |
||||||||
|
|

England is there just to offer support to Bush |

Yeah but you're from chester which is a right dump so you're biased. |
||||||||
|

The government is useless, and the people have an acceptance level that no other european country would endure. |

Anarchy in the UK I say!!!!!!!! |

I think if people in the UK would open their minds a little and drop their bullshit defensive attitude we would be somewhere close to having a good country. However the politicians continue to lie and try to forge us into the new world order, people are stupid allowing themselves to be raised by products and hardly an independent thought is raised in your typical ape-like human. The UK needs a lil wake up call. |

It's home. I like it. |

well you have to live there so better make the most of it ! i like london although it's the belly of the3 beast - and it's dirty and violent and expensive - i still have more freedom to go and see what i want and buy records and travel and go to clubs and the cinema and all that which i didn't have where i come from.. i'd hate to live somewhere like kiddiminster tho |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
London is ok, lived there for years and it is good to visit. Lets face it though, its full of twats and it smells |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's better than most countries. Although the people in Wales are peasants. Not in monetry terms, just their attitude and ignorance. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah the attitudes of the newspapers and media in general along with the views of most of the people are badly thought out ands reactionary i agree there! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
peasants r not ignorants! wtf! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

You might think im sick in the head, but I'm really attracted to the UK. Docter says he cant cure it. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I know what ure saying astrid and I do go back for Warp/Rephlex nights...saying that, Wauvenfold are playing this weekend and I'm not there! They're wicked if you haven't checked it out |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I prefer the Welsh...they sing and dance and don't give a fuck about the materialism which plagues England |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i'm going to a thing at the ic - these people that make instruments from really ancient designs and play modern music on them - or i might go to a thing about automatons ie victorian mechanical toys - the kind that gave people the willies cos they assumed that if a doll moves of it's own accord it's because of black magic! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
YES |
||||||||
|
|

I have been to many countries and I must say I like the UK the most to live in. I lived in California for a little while but the UK seems to fit me best. I just have trouble with bullshit corporations that you can't avoid and some peoples attitudes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm welsh and I've lived there most my life. Go up the valleys if you want to see idiocy, laziness, racism and ignorance. At least in England stuff is done to a reasonable quality. Wales seems to have a "just enough" attitude, much like you get in Greece. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes they're poor as well and not very well atteneded to - small communities with no money seem to be inward looking i'm from one and they have some funny ideas about races and people ad why and what they do ... anyone that is there still is married has children - unemployed never leaves the place - all the things that would make me bored stiff - they also have no money. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fair point about Wales, I've not lived there...That's what is good about the UK, we have a fairly liberal and open society. Lots of cultures etc...but the government shits on us! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
plus, the media is out of control! What is all this force fed fly on the way pop bullshit. It's everywhere and everyone loves it! Media shapes this country and Mr Satan practically runs our media! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah you don;'t have to read it or watch it though ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

domeister: when and where are Wauvenfold playing? |
||||||||
|
|

Ease up on the UK matey!! |

They're playing on the 23rd, somewhere on Brick Lane I think... |

I love the UK. I love your music, your drink, your sexually active royal family, your television, your music, and any place that spawned Douglas Adams, Sid Vicious and Richard Dawkins must be pretty damn kewl. Do you still have Viz comics? I used to love the Fat Slags. |
||||||||

GET OUT OF THERE!!!!! i bolted from Liverpool nearly 3 years ago and havnt looked back since. Once you're on mainland Europe you realize how much of a closed off, isolated place England is. RUN AWAY RUN AWAY!!!!! |

Viz is made in Newcastle. I have walked past the offices a few times. If you want me to send a copy over I can do like. |

phiz - Indeed, my thoughts exactly CeriJ - "just enough attitude in wales+greece": eh ? please explain... |

I've been living in Germany for almost 10 years (lived in Dublin before) and my Mum is constantly complaining about how much better things are in England (that's just cos she's dead patriotic though, anything Britain or a British person does is always right in her view) I think her Dad telling her stories about killing Germans and proud to be fighting for his nation has probably warped her mind. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok so you can choose not to watch or read the media crap but most people in england live off it! It shapes our culture and you can't just ignore it... |

Britain is the best country in the world you fools. We had an empire for Pete's sake. Just think of everything that is great about Britain: roast dinners Carry On films full English breakfasts Chas n' Dave Jim Davidson saucy Babs Windsor Pearly kings and queens BBC the Krays Thatcher the Falklands War seaside towns like Blackpool & Clacton fish n' chips in newspaper the Queen the Sun and News of the World page 3 girls... |

Thatcher! Jim Davidson, spawn of Satan! |

I really like a lot of english stuff.... all the good things mentioned above, but any time i have been there, the day to day living lifestyle is awfully dull. I did a course in Slough once so maybe i shouldn't judge so harshly!! I've never been to a decent english pub either.. full of game machines and zero craic! I'd say cornwall has some nice pubs though! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If you want craic you can go to a craichouse with your craicwhore you no-good craichead. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yer man, why is it that I go anywhere else in the world and you can find a bar with atmosphere and character! What is it with the bland pubs in a lot of uk cities!? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's true actually, English pubs are rather dull or full of annoying tossers. Irish pubs are great. I'll never forget watching Ireland - Spain this year (when Ireland lost :( It was in the Irish pub in Augsburg (ok, not a genuine Irish pub as it's not Ireland) but the atmosphere was mad. Everyone screaming: Shea!!! SHEA!!! Fucking Shea!!! You can do it COME OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO----FUCK! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I love O' Neils pubs. They always play wicked music; U2, the Corrs, Van Morrison and Enya. |
||||||||

I just bought a viz annual for my brother for xmas :) |

France had an empire too and the only reason they were defeated at Waterloo was through a lot of luck and a little bit of bad management (say my mate who's a phD in History so :p). That doesn't make them any better than the rest of us. I could spout facts about the various achievements of nations all day long but the simple fact is that we are all equals. No country is better than another. 'More-suiteed-for-me-to-live-in' and 'better' are two very different things... |

grass is always greener on the other side of the fence lads... i might as well be saying finland sucks, uk must be so much cooler |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and since when is the BBC a good thing? It was in the old days when people talked proper (!) and so on but look at the shit they turn out nowadays. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aha but what if you've spent equal amounts of time on either side of the fence ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good question :) i have only spent a few days in the uk so it seems like a nice place to me. my parents have lived there and they prefer finland. |
