Who here has been to London?
Who here also happens to think London is a shithole?
I am jetlagged, frustrated with cockney londoners and a place called 'Cockfosters'.......yes.....you heard right.......'Cockfosters'
However, HMV here has a metal selection that could keep me mentally and sexually satisfied for years to come. I found myself Martriden (which I've been after for ages), Sleep, Samael and Fall Ov Serafim.
This isn't really a discussion topic.......but please, feel free to openly discuss something.

Been there several time and i dig it. Its does have it's dingey (sp?) qualities but i like that part of it. Plus the place has a lot of pretty dark history behind it which is cool as fuck. Go check out the "London Dungeons" it's kinda cheesy, but interesting and preety cool.
Oh and if you get out Kensington way, go have a pint at the Bram Stoker Inn. its cool

London is a fucking cesspit. Full of cockneys, assholes who have unwarranted self importance and the ever present god damn mother fucking tourists. I do not like the south of England.
I see your Cockfosters and trump it with Shepherd's Bush.

Every county of the UK has different slang!
E.g. Somerset = "How bist, my lurve. Zider I up, that'd be gurt lush."
Which actually means "Hello there, barmaid. I would like to purchase a pint of cider. That would be nice"

Somerset = "How bist, my lurve. Zider I up, that'd be gurt lush." Wow.......say that to any woman who can actually speak English and I believe you'll have the fuzz on you quick smart. |

Haha, that's ace. The stripping was a bit minging, but that is typical of the UK music scene's sense of humour.

lol, nice vid.
London Is getting a little better. Went to a pub with some strange metal people and got wasted. There was an old man at the back of the pub, and when the band wasn't playing, he was calling everybody 'halfbreeds' and saying we're a bunch of shitbrained no-hopers who can't get a job......then he went up to some guy and said 'get a fucking haircut!'......was worth a laugh

One thing I noticed about Europe in general was the roads. I feared for my life every time I got into a moving vehicle. In Paris, people just pick an arbitrary direction and floor the accelerator.
