I’m off to The Smoke

I’m away to London today, so I am. I’ll let you know how I think it compares to Barcelona in terms of unfriendliness.

    They all think we talk a foreign language so your off on a good start anywhoo.
    Mind you, there are probably more people from Barca doon there than back in Spain … no ?

    Turns your snot black, London.

  3. Elv says:

    I lived in Hoxton for a while. It was awright – people were friendly enough but goin into the ‘City’ for a night oot was mince. Wankers everywhere paying exorbitant prices for poncey drinks.

  4. King Rossco says:

    My face is pure tripping me whenever I’m in London. Except the time I went to see Primus at the Brixton Academy. That was awesome.

  5. Roach says:

    I’ve always heard that the streets are paved with shite.

  6. Fagsy says:

    In London?

  9. teethface says:

    i was doon there two weeks back, foon a wee shop that sells bucky. fifty pee mair expensive… no bad.

  10. Don’t speak to anyone, and keep your hand on your ha’penny.

  11. Chelsea Boy says:

    ah’m down there tomorrow for a party, expect you’re down seeing a fancy woman or to sample better quality drugs, aye..?

  12. Les says:

    Don’t look anyone in the eye, keep your head down, and be in bed before dark. And pretend you’ve got no money, speak gibberish if anyone asks you anything. You’ll fit in nicely after that.

    Good luck!

  13. T.J. Hooker says:

    Fucking shite hole that place. Lived there for a year. Utter pish.!

  14. Yvonne says:

    Aye, don’t make eye contact wi anyone on the subway….I noticed that when I was down everybody just sorta finds a space to stare at where they are out of lines of sight from everyone else. There’s absolutely no talking on the tube.

  15. stephen says:

    yeah i agree, i went a while back, and could not wait, but the atmosphere seem really awful. especially on the tube like others have said.

  16. I’m away to the shops. Anybody needing anything?

    That’s what I do at work.

  18. johnifer says:

    Good. I’m going there in December for the first time in years. If you go to any good pubs or anything let us know!

  19. Limmy says:

    Well, the place was nice, a nice place to walk around. No shocking unfriendliness. As for not making eye contact on the underground, I avoid eye contact on the Glasgow underground and I don’t want anycunt to make eye contact with me, so that’s nae bother.

  20. King Rossco says:

    Minted Stereo, could you pick me up a bottle of Irn Bru, a copy of Asian Babes, a copy of Max Power and packet of scampi fries?

    Thanks.

  21. King Rossco says:

    Oh, and a box of hankies an aw.

    Thanks again.

  22. derzo says:

  23. Joe says:

    I dread to think in what order these will be ‘consumed’. All at once would be impressive.

    That’s nothing – you should smell my fingers the now.

  30. eddiemunster says:
