I presume you mean in London? I don't go there much but when I do it's usually to go to a pub, which is usually nice (although getting a pint will clear out your bank account). Other things you can do is have a little mosey around the various parks, do some window/actual shopping. I hear there are free museums and shit.

I'm actually going to see the Pogues :laugh:. I met an jewish whitechapel anarchist last summer in Germany.:cool:
the only football options are Arsenal (not really because they are playing pretty late) and QPR.
Also any good ideas for afterpartys located around South-London?

Urban75 is meant to be having parties all the time around there and they have loads of anarchists and shiz, I've never been to an urban75 organised one directly though. http://www.urban75.org/offline/index.html

First of all there is huge difference from watching the football from the... tv:lol: and actually be there..Huge huge difference, and the same goes for the football as you cant go see Arsenal play in any fucking city in the cosmos, you cant see a premier league derby in any fucking city of the world... So yes, football at least for me is one of the first things i want to do on my foreign visits.

And you propose something like covent garden and you talk about my proposal?You can find streets anywhere, shops anywhere etc etc. Whats the difference?

"ow ez then" is the Cumbrian version of "do you want a fight good sir"

anyhoo check this out:

the internet:

CUMBRIC. A Celtic language, akin to Old WELSH (http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1O29-WELSH.html), spoken in southern Scotland and north-west England until early medieval times. Most relics of Cumbric are place-names such as Pennersax in Dumfriesshire, whose Welsh equivalent would be Pen y Sais Englishman's summit. Some commentators consider that garbled echoes of Cumbric survive in the Cumbric Score or sheep-counting numerals, numbers of a sort used in Cumberland and West Yorkshire by men counting sheep, women counting stitches, and children in games. A. J. Ellis published 53 versions of these in 1877–9, and Michael Barry 70 versions in 1969. In Borrowdale in Cumberland, 1–10 was yan, tyan, tethera, methera, pimp, sethera, lethera, hevera, devera, dick (Welsh is un, dau, tri, pedwar, pump, chwech, saith, wyth, naw, deg). ‘Fifteen’ was bumfit (Welsh pymtheg). The Score was acquired from informants at second hand; apparently, no one has ever been found actually using

If that's a concern to you avoid britain generally. Unless you are conversant in the specific patois of the town/village/row of houses you are currently in then you are likely to inadvertantly invite hostilities.

Nah, it's cuz the Northern accent is so ...deep. The first time I was introduced to it was because a guy from my work, who was from Blackpool, had this brutal accent - it was awesome. Coolest accent I've ever heard. Initially, I could only understand about half the shit he said.
Besides, I'm sure in context it's easier to understand (the slang and what not). Although, even half the Australian slang doesn't make any sense to me...because it's stupid, and there are better words to describe what's going on than the 'slang ones' - which tin foil being crushed under a train as it is.
Also, why are the British so angry? :(

My accent is pretty good, I know Cumbrians who have given the wrong name to the coppers in London then when they found out the persons real name they said that is what they said and that the copper just couldnt make it out. haha.

Let me get this straight, he worked with you, in Sydney, and you live in Sydney correct? And he said that people in Sydney, where you live, are pretentious?

I just do not know why he would think that..

On an unrelated note..

Actually that's not fair yo. Pubs round athe higher bits of Hackney/Islington (basically majority Arsenal supporters) go berserk when Arsenal play and are filled to the brim with Arsenal supporters, it's not really the same as a pub somewhere else. :p I'm surprised you don't already know this, Fuserg9!
