Birmingham town center what a crap hole.

[Haly]

but there's like six or more gaming stores there. For me that's like heaven.

I only remember 3 And 2 of them were the usual game shops you'd see in any town.

There are at least 8 in the Arndale centre alone next to me

Trust me, Stafford is as sleepy as little towns come.

I wouldnt mind, but bar the centre, the architecture you speak of is non existent, some of the most horrible late victorian terraces are around that area.. I know.. I lived in em.

Only place I have EVER parked in the UK where my car has had bits ripped off it 5 times in a year...

Being a student there sucked too as the locals hated you, when I was there the RAF base was still open too, so the RAF meatheads hated you too.. never forget when I found a RAF guy stumbling home fly kicking peoples wing mirrors off because "******* students are worse than Hitler" (pretty sure thats the quote).

"I'm in Stafford, get me out of here"

Ouch! I found Stafford incredibly safe when I lived there, but you're right, it's the most boring place on earth. Lovely place to retire I'm sure, and I found the locals extremely nice, but pretty boring. It did seem very insular too.


I think Luton was the worst place I've ever been to, horrible, horrible place.

Birmingham seemed ok to me when I went but that was only for the day.

LOL

This.

And i love the way he complains about how bad the state of the country is in and blames immigrants, when he can't stop driving drunk to McDonalds at 11pm at night to get a hamburger.

Maybe DD should look at his own house before starting to whine and bitch about the country.

Whats that got to do with the price of bread? He may drive drunk and eat McDonalds. Does that mean he's not entitled to an opinion?

The trouble with this country is that people are too afraid of speaking their minds for fear of being branded a racist or a terrorist.

I've been to Birmingham a number of times and didn't have a problem with being surrounded by mainly Asian faces. But anyone who pulls stats out of their rear claiming that non whites are less than 50% of the population are wrong. Deliberately massaged stats given by the government are designed not to provoke fear in the populace.

Ask yourself this, where are all the white people when you go to Birmingham if they are the majority? In hiding? Watch a tv news report when they film at a school. How many white kids are there?

 

[Doctor_Zhivago]

How do you know they're not English? Surely you only know they're not white, which isn't the same thing...

Omg I can't believe I just read that... I am really living in the twilight zone! Next you be telling me it's nelson mandela on top of Nelson's Column!

A dog born in a barn is not a horse. English are Anglo-Saxons. Anglo-Saxons are white people from northern europe.

It's how Anglo-Saxon look http://www.theapricity.com/snpa/rg-anglo.htm

The Equality and Diversity mob can help out here. Beneath is a section from a typical Equality and Diversity monitoring form. These are the "degrees of Britishness" which have already been created.
Please tick boxes as appropriate: -

WHITE
British
Irish
Any other White Background (please specify)

MIXED
White & Black Caribbean
White & Black African
White & Asian
Other Mixed Background (please specify)
ASIAN / ASIAN BRITISH
Indian
Pakistani
Bangladeshi
Any Other Asian Background (please specify)

BLACK / BLACK BRITISH
Caribbean
African
Any Other Black Background (please specify
CHINESE OR OTHER ETHNIC GROUP
Chinese
Other (please specify)

If a person can tick the boxes marked "White British" or "Irish" they would certainly be in the indigenous ethnic group. If they ticked "Any other White Background (please specify)" and came from a former colony like for example Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, they would also be indigenous

Brummy I know said when they knocked down the old houses & buildings to put up the new shopping centre millions of rats bailed out & moved into the local estates.
I like Birmingham though & I like Brummys, Nice folk that are proper friendly.

 

[I get around]

I didn't have a problem with anyone but the brummies when i went on a night there.
They were all scummy guys from council estates looking for fights with their chavtastic women. Then you've got the brummy accent which to me is like nails on a chalk board.

It is like a bin there though, i don't think people get the concept of bins or something.

And which posh ultra fashionable place do you live in.

Probably a "special" house.

Solihull is in Birmingham no matter what people who live there think.

Correct. Solihull is in Birmingham, I live in the town centre and my post code is B91. Only the posh up thier own arse folk (which is a large percentage of Solihull) that deny its part of Birmingham.

When I used to live in Brinsley Rd, Sheldon, People in Solihull said the same thing...
And that was 40+ years ago..

 

[wordy]

Don't come to Rotherham Town Centre, that is a crap hole. It's full of layabout dole scroungers, both home grown and foreign.

 

[Wicksta]

Ah you're referring to some of the ironic and non-serious posts I have made on another forum which has an irreverent style, and you've taken them as being serious Oh dear.

So it was just a coincidence that you asked about breathalisers, bragged 'jokingly' about drink driving and were then caught doing exactly that and admitted here that you were well over the limit? I'm not seeing the irony dirtydog, I'm seeing karma though.
I'm guessing half the problem with alcoholism is that you forget what you post where and it's easy to blame 'others' for your own failures.

Like I said I'm glad *you* don't live next door to me, I don't need to put you into a certain racial/ethnic group to realise that.

 

[Kreeeee]

Kreeeeeee!

Stop being so down, where in the city is she going to work and do you know where you're going to live?

I live in a nice part of an area in Birmingham (the other end of the area is a little rougher!) and I have also lived in Harborne (posh).

It really isn't that bad, I just went out for lunch at Pizza Hut purposely looking for the claims of it being all ethnic but I saw more white people than anything else and no one causes any bother (of course unless you're in a gang then watch out )

When you come down, email me or something and we can go for a pint!

Moving from the Birmingham area to Bristol was an amazing change.

Actually mind if I add you to MSN as I'm looking for a decent place to live there within a decent train distance from the centre (snow hill/new street station)

Kronologic (Manlove is my Forte) is going to be helping me move, so we can have a mini-meet in the nearest pub \o/

I like Birmingham though & I like Brummys, Nice folk that are proper friendly.

Where are they hiding!?

 

[Dunks]

*Hi there,

 

[Skully]

Actually mind if I add you to MSN as I'm looking for a decent place to live there within a decent train distance from the centre (snow hill/new street station)

Don't bother adding me to MSN I'm rarely on!

Email my trust email and I can answer that wherever I am, work, phone and home .

 

[Kreeeee]

Email? What are you, a Neanderthal?

Cheers, will wing you an email this evening

 

[Skully]

I'll have you know I'm very hip and down with the tech!

Birmingham \o/.

 

[I get around]

And which posh ultra fashionable place do you live in.

Swindon.
It's not posh or ultra fashionable, it's a normal place, but it isn't overloaded with full on chavs (they're on the streets drinking) and if you go to the right places, people are there for a good time, not to look hard, or cool.
What people seem to forget is the fun of it all.

 

[Nanoman]

Swindon.

lol Swindon is no where near the level of Bham, Ive been there enough times as im at Glos uni, its like Gloucester run down boring and full of chavy farmers. Now Cheltenham is a much more respectable place.

 

[flexo786]

dont know if its changed but when i used to live there they didnt use bins for the weekly collection. you had to place your rubbish in black bags and put this in front of the nearest tree. used to always end up having problems with rats in the summer

 

[slylittlefox]

To be honest most 'ethnics' are better behaved than a serial drink driver who spends all day salivating over questionable porn. I know who I'd rather live next door to.

There be truth in dat der post - truths which I see have gone unanswered

 

[goldilocks]

I love birmingham city centre, great architecture, fantastic shopping, museums, art galleries, cultural diversity.
I'm sorry, but if you are from stoke-on-trent i fail to see how you could find anywhere more awful than your hometown.
(saying that, i haven't visited everywhere, but of the places i have - i am fairly sure none were worse than stoke)
