Stag weekend in Southampton

The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.” -

Worked in Scum (sorry S****ampton) earlier this year. Not much to make it stand out from any other city centre. Does not strike as being an entertaining sort of place. Bournemouth may offer more opportunities.Comment

A few weeks ago.Everwhere I went I witnessed a fight, the worst one being a street brawl with about 20 people involved, a women having her front teeth punched out by a man. Heavy police presence. Far too much violence in such a small place. Best avoided.Originally posted by wobbegongWhen were you there, and what happened?The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

I have lived in Southampton for 5 years and NEVER gone out for the night there, apart from the odd meal. If I'm going out on the razz, I take the train to London and stay up there for the weekend...
In the main, Southampton is full of student types and pikies....similar to Pompey, although at least there are some decent bars in Gunwharf Quays.Illegitimus non carborundum est!Comment

I lived in Southampton for 4 years as a student. Around the Portswood and Bevois Valley area are all the student hangouts so I'd imagine you'd want to avoid them (altho isn't it going home to mummy and daddys time for all the kiddies now?) and head towards the centre of town.
London Road, which is just off the end of The Avenue (big dual carriage way), and the surrounding streets have many decent bars and a few of the nicer clubs (including the FYEO as mentioned here already), I would recommend a crawl around there until you find one that fits your tastes.
Alternatively you could head down to Ocean Village, which is further south, towards the docks, where there are some 'super clubs' such as Ikon and Diva and there are also a bunch of large generic chain bars down there, but it was a bit too towny/pikey for my liking.
All this info is 5 years out of date tho so could have all changed... I doubt it tho!It's about time I changed this sig...Comment

Have you been recently to Bucharest, Pig? Some nice experiences to share?!Originally posted by PigIf you go in just head for town centre lots of watering holes but you make ur mind up when you get in them!!! Some of outskirting areas are scary so I would avoid.
Not a lot in New Forest really just a few village pubs, if your lucky!!!
Personally would go to Bucharest lots of fun to be had!!!
The rest is silence...Comment
