TA's in the North

I posted a while ago asking about TA's in Leeds but the thread got erased (from the crash) before I could check the responses. I'm coming in about a month from near Toronto,Canada to work for the summer and I was wondering about the clubs in and around Leeds. Lots of good parties? I hear it's the land of great dj's..should be a good time...I'm stoked about checking out Gatecrasher.

I think STE A.K.A DUMONDE TRANCER, said JON SIMMONDS was from LEEDS, which at the time i'm sure you were originally were asking about.

Yes, I will be working in Leeds and subletting a student flat at Leeds University. Is it true that people from the North are generally the best partiers and generally the coolest people in England? Ha! just kidding... trying to start some rivalry....you know spice this board up a bit. I hope to spend some time in London in May though..that should be really cool too.

drewfactor, yes Northerners party so much harder and so much longer.

I'm not being bias (well I am a bit), but I've been South, many times.

If you like your beer, you've got to try out the nightlife in Newcastle, about 1-2 hours drive from Leeds.

The nightlife here is shit hot. We were voted 6th most partying city in the WORLD by a US travelling agency, and best UK city for nightlife by a UK travelling magazine.

People up here live for one thing; partying. Newcastle consumes twice the national average of alcohol and has the cheapest prices in Britain for beer. A couple of nightclubs do an all-you-can-drink night, at the Playrooms on Wednesdays they have bottles of beer for 10p, and pints at the boat for 20p.

British pints are bigger than American pints, quite a bit bigger. I'm not sure what Canada have, but most places have smaller pints. A pint isn't a pint wherever you go, you see some places measure it differently. Don't worry, we have big pints here

A word of warning though. Don't mention unemployment, poverty, or any of that stuff around here - ever. I mean it. If you do some guy who's just been made redundant will probably kill you. Newcastle is regarded by most in the UK as a very violent place. In many respects it is, but I always say it's only if you push your luck. If you look for a fight you won't have to look hard.

Still, Newcastle is worth checking out. We have the bigg market and the quayside, streets and streets of nothing but pubs, clubs, and people completely off their head on a friday/saturday night.

The only quarrel I have with Newcastle is that the clubs aren't open very late, and there isn't much trance, but that will hopefully change soon, and the people here party harder than anywhere else anyway.

Another word of warning: London is full of wankers. Also, most people there don't speak English very well, both inside and outside the city centre.

And lastly, avoid ALL people from Sunderland. They are EVIL. EVIL!

That describes a boozing session. (Boozing = consumption of vast amounts of alcohol).

I prefer the term piss up

It works well when you're calling someone useless. "you couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery".

English Beer

I love the beer in the North of England. I could down a few pints of Tetley's Bitter right now...mmmmmm...I also like many of the other ALes like Boddington's and, hmmmm....trying to remember...shit I forgot most of them. But I gotta let my system get used to your english bitters...it effects my bowels..if you know what I mean Your cheese, tea, chocolate, beer are all superior to anything in Canada (or America)...although your lager beer does not compare to anything we have...Canadian lager is great..but the imitation canadian beer you get over there is shite.

I love the fish and chips too...fried in real fat!! And real cream (yellowish milk fat) in your pastries! I'm gonna be one fat bastard when I leave that place..

You guys are gettin me excited about the visit.

Pubs are the shit there too.

Posted by evil_bastard on Mar-23-2002 17:27:

Yeah most the lagers here are shit.

Although you can get Kronenbourg in just about every pub in the country, and that's alright. Problem is, everywhere stocks shit like Carling and Fosters as well.

At the end of the day, it all gets you pissed though

All over the coutryside (or even just suburban towns) you can get real ales made in local breweries.

Basically, wander into any traditional pub and they'll stock several beers you've never heard of before.

And then there's Newcastle Broon Ale. What can I say?

The Guinness in Ireland is the best in the world (obviously), it is mandatory for all pubs in Ireland to have a �15,000 cooling system specially for their Guinness! Now THAT'S service. In comparison, apparently ours isn't as good, but outside Ireland, England probably has the best Guinness in the world, simply because less of the "Irishness" leaves it on the way

You should have a good time in Leeds, I've heard they have good nightlife. I've only been to Leeds once, the people have annoying accents, but everyone in the UK probably sounds the same over the pond (most yanks sound the same to me).

Watch out for mackems - people from hell (sunderland), as they have a whiny whingy North Eastern accent. A poor immitation of the geordie accent, which is just the best

Posted by evil_bastard on Mar-23-2002 17:38:

Sigh ... the Boro fans have come out to play.

Watch out for them too. As you drive through Middleborough, all you will see is smoke. To the left of you, the right of you, it's just smoke. Either they have a large heavy industry presence there, or they're all smoking big cigars.

Which one it is I have no idea, but it's a daunting place nonetheless. If any of them approach you, just smile, don't make eye contact, and slowwwwly edge away

hehe when i first got to Leeds i couldnt make head or tail of the yorkshire accent, but its the same anywhere in the country these days!!

There are loads of students in Leeds, from all around the world so at uni its even worse with all the different accents!!!!!
