Newcastle was recently voted the eighth best party city in the world by American travel experts Weissman Travel and was the only British city to make it onto the list! Newcastle has also been voted second best city in Europe for social life, and in a recent poll of office workers and students it was voted the best city in England for work and study.

So there you have it you doubting Thomas's.

They also say windows is the best o/s in the world...

perhaps it's improved - I haven't been for a good few years always reminded me of a cross between blackpool and magaluf but not so upmarket...

They brought in this zero tolerance policy to 'clean up the streets' so maybe that is helped. And it got voted 3rd best party city in the world by some reputable mag or tv program or something. Maybe it was the Newcastle Herald.

Eh?!!!!!

There's no need for that like!

What dont you like about it?

Bolton. There is nothing endearing about this place. Actually there is a good pie shop round the corner from the Reebok stadium. But that's it.

Bolton. There is nothing endearing about this place. Nothing.

There's a good pie shop round the corner from the Reebok stadium. And there was a good stall at the market that did jeans in my size, but it closed.

The entire area of Greater London and its liberal, sandal wearing communities. Also Chorlton in Manchester for the same reason.

No way! My favourite kebab shop in the world ever is in Chorlton!

You can take the rest of it though. There was some daft survey a couple of years ago that said Chorlton had the largest percentage of single women compared to the rest of the UK (or something) - they forgot to point out that this had a correlation with largest number of women wearing Doc Marten's, dungarees and short haircuts.

I hate statistics. 99% of the time, anyway.

To be honest it's a cracking night out, no trouble, lots of bars, lots of variety, everyone's friendly. Not sure what there is to do when you're sober, but I've never been sober in Newcastle.

in the words of SLF "tow it out and sink it" [ although they were talking about ulster at the time but N'castle is close enough to the N sea.

WTF did you remind me of Hull ??

[PRC1964]

Hull - I spent 3 days there in 1995. I still shudder at the thought of it.

Surbiton - Even the name reeks of smug suburbia.

Gibraltar - More inbreeding than East Anglia.

Islington - Too many tossers for it to be worth saving

Oi!!!



(not that I ever go there anymore like, but I feel like I should defend it all the same!)
