Pat Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Saw my 1st Big asssed Hummer or Humv on the roads here yesterday...LOL.....What a joke. This Is Australia not South Central L.A, Kabul, Bagdhad or Bogota. Big shiny Black thing v12 eng, bullet proof windows, more steel than the Queen Mary, Factory sized chimneys hangin of the bitch, Fukin ell. I looked around, saw no Taliban, AL Qaeda, Goths, Vandals or Hun & wondered why ? Overkill, overindulgence, Posey prat, all of the above come 2 mind. I simply wanted to pick up a handfull of stones & throw them @ the fuker. Bullet proof maybe. But Im sure that 2 toned shiny metallic paint wouldnt be SCRATCH proof. Wanker. Rant Over.

MikeO Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Hell fire, Wigan??? Ive not been but from other peopls experiences its not the best place to go???? Sorry to any Wiganites that ive inadvertantly offended. Not been to Wigan but it made me think....what's the shittiest place you've ever been to? In the UK and maybe the World. Walsall for me . Globally a place called Smolyan in Bulgaria back in the Communist Bloc days was bad (bread queues and supermarkets with nothing but biscuits on the shelves ) but the shanty town down by the docks in Banjul, the capital of Gambia was the most depressing place I've been.

Dunny the Blue Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 The biggest culture shock for me would be where Im staying at Uni now, Salford!! Its so different from my little town that i nearly had to stop and just stare when i first arived, its not a place where I feel like i could adapt to its way of life either, it seems to be a place where If your not born and bread your never going to "get it". I havnt been abroad much so I cant coment on worst places in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Tijuana Mexico is the shitty place I have ever been. It was dirty, crowded, hot and there is a lot of crime. There are some great places in Mexico, just not the border towns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluenose Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 LAS VEGAS. yes you heard. i hated it. all you can do is gamble and when i was 7 years old i was surronded by crooks policemen shouting thier mouths off whilst pointing thier guns at people. so many religioius weirdos trying to tell me the world was going to end. gambling addicts who had no regard for families or children. it may seem glamourous on films but its by far the shittest place ive ever been to. i only thank god i only stayed thier for 2 days before i moved back to chicago where my uncle was staying.

I love Las Vegas, one of my favorite places in the United States. Yes there are some really bad areas but the strip is very entertaining. Obviously it isn't a place to be at 7 but once you are 21 or over it is nice. I'm not even a gambler but still enjoy it. Vegas is the only place that I know of that doesn't go to sleep. There is always something to do at any time of day. With that being said it is also a place that can get boring fast so it is best to stay for 4 days or so. Last time I was there was for 3 days after spending a week in Disneyland. That was some transition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Seen soon shite & spleandour. Anywhere 3rd world is usually ordinary i.e latin America/Asia. However, I had the mis pleasure of a 12 week stint (work) on Bougainville Island ( Papua New Guinea) @ the Oktedi Copper mine. Fuking grass huts, Stinky, Gun Fire & Pollution are what has stuck. Greeny yella shite from the mines filling the rivers & estuary's, icckkyy gooo running down the street, local workers with no shoes even. Whilst these poor fukin natives tried to live in it. Disgusting This place really sucked a natural paradise, fukin destroyed by Big Mining. Got better @ night, if the 25 tonne Mozzies didnt keep ya up, the Rebels shooting @ Govt troops did in the not to far off jungle. Furthermore & even scarier, we would @ least twice a week have women with new born babies arrive @ our camp, demanding that 1 of our crew were the fathers etc. Theyd just pick any whitey & say yeh it was him, then try to palm of the babay as a gift !!!. Seen it happen to one guy who had only been in camp 3 weeks, LOL, so was impossible 2 be him, but he still had a tribe of Fuzzy Wuzzies gunning for blood. Ill stop now, could write a book ont his joint, but yeh defoo 1st class Shithole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Spooky(ish) story....Josh is off to London for four days on a school trip tomorrow (London Eye, Downing St, Meeting our MP at the Houses of Parliament, HMS Belfast, Museums, Mary Poppins etc.) and he needs £20 pocket money....£5 to take and £15 in three five pound notes in an envelope given to his group leader. So anyway...have you tried to lay your hands on a fiver recently? Nobody has any....trying to get them in change in shops for days and had managed three, so this afternoon went into a supermarket and paid cash...eight pounds something in change....all in pound coins .. so I thought "Fuck, I'll have to go to the bank." Got my coin out of the trolley wondering if I have time to get to the bank before school when a bloke says to me, "Got any change mate?" And he's waving a fiver at me needing coins to get a trolley . If he'd have been a woman I'd have kissed him . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Nice one Pat...few years back, spent some time self employed and (predictably) didn't put away money to pay tax bill. Had no accountant so threw myself at the mercy of the Inland Revenue, gave them my figures and waited with trepidation. Finally got notification of a figure of about £500 which I was greatly relieved at, thought it may be four figures. It was only on about the third reading that I realised they were saying that was what they owed me. Lovely feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaron Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 havent a clue what YTS is but all EMA(education maitance allowence) is if you do over 16hours of college / 6th form a week and your parents earn less than £30,000 a year or you live with onely one parent you get it. something along those lines.
