There are a list of words that you use, that we do not. I've even sat with a lad (there's one we don't use) from the UK to try to explain some of the words. Here are some off the top of my head. I'll start with the first one you here flying with British Airways.
Queue - (we use line) The term "queue" is used more in British English, while the word "line" is used mostly in American English. Canadians use the term "line up".
We don't use reckon
We don't use lad, nor mate.
We don't use cheers as a greeting or as a hello. (We only use it when we want ready to drink an alcoholic beverage with a friend.
We rarely use the term wicked. (Hope you enjoy some wicked parties here in LA!)
Anyhow, seems as if though you might be staying in a beat portion in LA. I suggest possibly upgrading to a Hotel or at least and Inn. Try the Renaissance in Hollywood. (Good central Hollywood location @ the Hollywood & Highland Complex/Kodak Theater).
Your UK Pound is very strong compared to our US Dollar. So basically you get half off everything/everywhere since you get 2 US dollars to every 1 Pound.
Not sure how long your staying on the West Coast but you should look into staying in LA for a couple nights, SD for a couple and try to even fit in a Vegas trip!
LA has the good the bad and the ugly! You have been lucky enough to encounter some of the nicer/cooler individuals LA has to offer.
Have a safe trip!
Cheers!
tell me about it, i've got a handful of mates/buddys/friends on the east coast...some of the debates you can have over the language are hilarious.
i'll check out the hotel suggestion. we are on a bit of a budget though, and the suite in the Venetian we're staying in on our last night in vegas has meant our accomodation budget for LA and SD has become a bit tighter!
yeah, we're doing vegas, san fran also.
Sounds good mate! =)
I'm going to Amsterdam this weekend. Any suggestions?
Amsterdam? Great place. Can be very seedy and strange at night but you'll just get used to it. Prepare for the usual drunk english tourists, and the men on street corners offering cheap drugs.
Find the smokey caf�s if you are into that stuff, there are plenty of bars and restaurants around the main canals. There are some decent clubs out there, but i havent a clue whats going on in them at the moment.
I'll be travelling with Farma_UK next month, appreciate the help.
tip: use hotels.com to find the hotel you are potentially going to use and then call them directly. you can normally secure a better rate and also places like hotels.com can fuck up your reservation. or worst case not even make it!
also...try your best to book the same hotel all 3 days that you will be in LA for the weekend. it normally results in cheaper rates.
also for events watch www.westoceanevents.com periodically. its a great resource for locations, dates and tickets.
ha, as it turns out, won't be in la much that weekend:
fri 31st: la
sat 1st: sd
sun 2nd: sd
mon 3rd: sd

I would avoid LA for Labor Day and just have fun in SD/Vegas. I think the most important element when it comes to having fun is the crowd/atmosphere and I'm sorry to say, since you're coming from the UK, you'll be thoroughly disappointed with LA's nightlife. I would avoid it like the plague. I had several European friends from Sweden and the UK visit and all of them hated the LA clubs (Avalon, Vanguard, etc) we visited. There's such a fake vibe here its sickening. San Diego/Vegas will be so much better on Labor Day. So what if some bigshot DJ is playing here in LA. Like I said before a large part of the fun comes from the crowd...who cares if there's a good Dj when the crowd around you is filled with cocky twats?
As for Amsterdam....Amsterdam's (Europe's in general) nightlife blows away LA's, hell all of California's, nightlife in every which way possible...there's no comparison. The people are much cooler...much better vibe
i must admit, whilst i can't comment having not been there yet, LA seems like what you said. whilst i'm obv willing to put some effort into how i look, especially on holiday and wanting to try out the bigger name clubs that we hear about over here, a club over here in the UK is somewhere where people go to dance in a cloud of smoke and lasers, lose the people you came in with, and usually come out soaked through with sweat (not necessarily all yours), the guy who was standing behind you's drink, the bottle of water that just flew past, and whatever that shit is on the floor!!
i wouldn't swap it for the world.
will definitely be out in la on the friday night though and the tue night. watch out for bottles of water. messin.
and diggers at belo on sunday...!!! tickets will be purchased.
thanks all

If SD's beaches are rockin half of what they were on the 4th of July, they will be a helluva party. I'll post up the location of where my crew will be once it's locked in. Diggers @ Belo ftw!
I'm into that. Which beaches should we head for btw? Also, anyone know where we can get tickets for digs? That link that was posted toward the bottom of Page 3 of the thread says they are available from 13th aug?
