Originally posted by marcusk I've been to london, and I always thought about living there too...what did I like about it? I guess because things were different. People seemed friendlier. But did not dig the food too much. But a change is always good. I'll actually be in Korea for a year.

People friendly in London...you on drugs? they are the most AROGENT people ive ever meet, i lived there for 4 1/2 yrs, belive me if i wa slaying down ont he floor with stab wombs they would walk all over me.

Go to Scotland mate, it rocks. Friendly people and a great country. Form a birds eye: That green stuff you see in Scotland is called Grass, and those black dots you see in London are called people.

An old phrase with something to do with grass comes to mind...

Probably worth taking a year out no doubt but once you get settled you realise that it's the same old where ever you end up. The one thing you can never get away from is yourself... trust me, I've been trying for about 35 years.

Let me know, you gotta come to Brighton and we can spin some tunes and talk shit.

Speaking of which, Binkun! You are in England and no PM...

Seriously, if anyone is in the area hit me up and we can spin some tunes and stuff.

Cheers

There is very little good about scotland, the weather is the worst, the people are friendly until you bump into a group of pissed up 13 year old neds with knives, the birds are ugly and there is fuck all decent work up this way.

And then theres the licensing laws - wtf kind of club shuts it's doors at 3am, in other countries the party would just be getting started.

actually, i had you in mind when i was thinking about where to go, thought maybe brighton could be a possible destination

i'm looking to either work in radio (professionally trained, currently working for the #1 radio station here)
djing (obviously)
or possibly continuing my training to become a red seal chef, so working in a nice restaurant

london is most likely my best bet though

there is more... Heineken music hall a party venue with the best music quality in europe and believe me the sound there is awesome en loud!

Multi culture and i like the different styles of houses lot of old atmospheric ones


but i'm not selling amsterdam to anyone and opions can be different

Originally posted by n3lly An average 4 bedroom house at the moment will cost you between �450,000 to 1.5million. (450,000 being on the outskirts of dublin no where near the city really.)

I wish houses in Los Angeles were that cheap. $600,000 for a two-bedroom in the outskirts. My sister-in-law and her husband live in Dublin. Maybe I'll move there.

excuse, very little good, fuck you. So only 13yrs olds that drink ALL come from Scotland, dont think so some how. England has the WORSTE (official) rate of teenage booz drinking. And the thing with knives, thats Glasgow Junky City and SHity London, not Edinburgh or anywhere else. Rezerection, Fantazia do NOT shut there doors at 3am, they close at 6a, as does Nosebleed and Judgment Day. And the licence laws in England are WORSE- Pubs close at 11pm and Clubs also close at 3am.

And the title did say Enland not any country, i couldnt give a toss if the clubs open for longer in other countries apart from England and Scotland and Wales, i dont live there and i dont do clubs, i got to underground raves where they shut at 6am @ they are at Clubs.

Welcome to Brighton... Drug Death Capital of Europe.

Seriously guys, you can't just focus on details like that. These are big city problems that are common to every city in the world. Go to Mexico City and you may say it's a wicked place but the inhabitants will tell you it's one of the most dangerous cities on the planet. Same goes for cities in South Africa.

In Brighton we have Chavs (Neds to the Scottish folk). Yes we have a lot of people from poor backgrounds with bad education but it's not unique.
In my experience of the US, there are extreme contrasts there too and you can turn a corner and find yourself in the last place you wanted to be.

When I was in the US (Yes Nem played football (Not soccer)) I was invited home to my room mates house for thanks giving. He lived in a city that had at that time the fastest growing gang population in the US and his neighbourhood was one of the worst. I am still here to talk about it and it showed me that you can't always believe what you read. Sure it was probably dangerous in certain ways, but people forget that other people live there and carry out everyday lives.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not naive and I know bad things happen but you can't let it dominate your life or that is all you will ever see.

Be positive!

Cheers

Where did I say that all 13 year olds that drink come from scotland, all's I'm saying is this country has a particularly bad problem with teenege drinking.

So what you saying is that people don't get stabbed in edinburgh and that heroin isn't a problem in our capital - ok. tell it to the highest population of aids victims in any western european city.

What the fuck is this got to do with the 21st centrury. The last rezerection happended back in the 90's and only recently was there a revival of fantazia which was filled with over the hill hardcore dj's and a crowd full of pubescent teens. At least in the 90's the line up's had decent dj's like hawtin, garnier or may.

Fair enough London clubs all shut at 3am.

Errrrr hello people!!

Have we not heard of the late licensing laws in the UK? Most clubs here are open till at least 4:00am and in London 6:00am. Now there are also lots of afterparty clubs and things that carry on right through the morning.

Seems like everyone is packing up and going!

I'll be seeing Montreal next year!

MOVE TO UKRAINE AND FEEL THE HARDCORE!!!!!

Not at all, of course ppl get stabbed in Edinburgh, its everywere. Edinburgh has one of the lowest of City stabbings in the UK. Glasgow is the Worst in Eastern Europe.

Rezerection is back on, you obviously dont keep in touch with hardcore. Actually the majority of ravers that go to hardcore events - the main ones, are mostly over 20.

Fair enough London clubs all shut at 3am.

Not unless they get a licence to open longer - some do, juts like Edinburgh some stay open till 6am if they obtain a licence.

I just dont like people, especially people that are from Scotland, dissing my country. Of course drugs and stabings are a major problem in Scotland, but not as bad as London. Scotland is so much friendly that England (an offical poll was done last year). The further north yougo the more firendlier it gets.


Anyway id go to Canada - if your already there stay where you are.

Do me a favour and learn to quote and spell, I have no idea what the fuck you are trying to convey if you can't type in English.

An "official" poll, eh? must be true then

As for London clubs, there are quite a few that have 24 hour licenses, and shedloads of places that are open til gone 6am

Are you SURE you lived there for 4 1/2 years?? You obviously didnt go out much whilst you were there if you did

To be fair the late license thing is less than a year old.
But clubs have still been open till later, they just closed the bar.

450,000 - 560k odd US dollars.. Trust me, i'd be surprised if LA was more expensive then dublin.

Example..

go here http://www.lisney.com/salesSearch.aspx

Location: South, and then just click search. The first houses are the most expensive the cheapest are on the last page. And you'll get a nice picture to see just what you're getting (from the outside anyway..)

Trust me.. Dublin is climbing and climbing in regards to be the most expensive city to live in. I think last time they checked we were on par with New York city in 11th or maybe even higher. My facts are all over the place.

But i know what you mean about LA being expensive, my mates were over there this summer. The difference is, LA is nice, dublin... Not as nice.

/rant.. lol

you cant read either. I said London clubs have licences to open till 6am. Read before replying. Yes i lived there for a LONG time. And ill say this AGAIN, i go to underground raves NOT cheesy club nights.

It is. $450,000 will get you a two-bedroom Condo in the Valley (read: not nice).
