For those who recommended I visit Bristol...

[Provost Harrison]

Thanks a f**king bunch In the past I have accused Sheffield of being a cackhole but I have discovered that Sheffield is beautiful in comparison. Either I have missed something or you have been woefully misinforming me. Laz, how can you live in such a craphole? The place smells, the city centre is crap and the beer is overpriced...I get the feeling I have missed something about it, perhaps a bribe to tell others it is a good place, but I am pretty sure I got a good look at the place.

So tell me, what is so good about Bristol that I missed, because it seemed absolutely revolting to me....

[SlowwHand]

1) Come to Texas.

2) Don't believe a damned thing Laz tells you.
He's an habitual liar.

Provost

youre from Hull arn't you? pot, kettle, black?

oh, if you take Slow up on his offer to go to Texas, kick his ass (arse) for me while youre there;O)

[SlowwHand]

Put 'em up, put 'em up.

[Sprayber]

Stay away from Texas Provost, they have a scam going where they claim to forerigners that Texas is a whole other country and make them pay to leave the state. Last week I saw this poor Brit paying $50 at the Texas Oklahoma border.

[SlowwHand]

Texas IS a whole other country.

Yeah, so is Viet Nam, and I'd rather go there....

Provost- Bristol does have some pleasant buildings and areas, but is not cheap- blame the Government for housing a bunch of pissed off civil servants there.

The university is chock full of people secretly seething that they didn't get into Oxford/Cambridge, pretending they don't care. But they do, but they do...

I preferred the North- Sheffield, Manchester,Leeds- lovely Victorian architecture, wide streets, the Hacienda, Cabaret Voltaire, industrial electronic music, the rain.

O.k., maybe not the last part.

But Bristol does have a groovy bridge.

Perhaps the blue collar people of Texas don't meet your bourgeois Royal standards huh Molly?

[Bosh]

come to korea
draft beer for about a pound

[BeBMan]

Edit: nm

OB and Hite are decent beers. I guess the Koreans learned from the Germans at the same time the Japanese did.

You have a strange ability to take English vocabulary and grammar and make sentences that come out as drivel.

Does the population of Texas consist entirely of blue collar workers? Must be a mighty strange place to live, then...

Oerdin: Well I'd take a Tsingtao or a Sapporo over each in a second. And mostly Cass here in central Korea in any case (not that I can much tell the difference between all the lightish lagers).

Wasn't there a Car named the Bristol? As I recall it was an expensive yet poorly engineered POS.

Oh yeah. Cass. I had forgoten about them. Tsingtao was a big disappointment with low quality and a highly variable taste difference between each batch. Sapporo and Asahi both know how to make a proper pale lager. Thailand's Singha was pretty good too though I found Singapore's Tiger Lager to be blah.
