Back from Hell, also known as England

[Insano]

Hello everybody, I've returned...

Everybody who doesn't know what I'm talking about: http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?t=104622&highlight=england

All in all, it was a great trip with a couple of highlights.

I didn't do the funny walk, because I didnt think anyone would really appreciate it. I did go to a pub on my first day in Dover, and I got some cokes for me and my two friends. Then all of a sudden a man comes up and askes our I.D. He looks at mine - I keep looking very mature while he's checking my pass (I'm only 17 btw) - and he gives it back and says it's ok. Then he askes my friend's I.D. and he sees that he's only 17. But I asked for five minutes to finish our drinks and that was that.

Nobody else of our group even got in a club :smoking:

A cool thing was to hear people's opinion in person about political stuff (Iraq = rubbish, national health service = crap, etc ) and regular subjects (apparantly are Arsenal a bunch of bloody wankers) when we had to do street interviews.

But I do love the British culture. I've been to a lot of countries, but I must say there's nothing like England. I'd love to go to visit London and Dublin.

Oh, and I didn't met any HL2.netters (I think).

 

[Kamikazie]

i want to go to England...to have a pint with the Hl2.netters!

 

[Hectic Glenn]

Ah that's already happened with the mighty 7 members!

Glad you enjoyed it Insano, definately come to London as well for the experience if you liked the look of the place. Hopefully the weather wasn't too bad for you?

 

[Insano]

No, the weather was great. I expected to have a lot of rain, but we never really had any rain at all.

The last day at Leeds Castle's park, there was no cloud at the sky.

Aye, that's a great place. I went there the other weekend. Maybe you were there :O

You know you don't have to be 18 to either:

Drink in a pub
Drink coke (the soft stuff anyway)

I'm guessing he went into a bar, thinking it is a pub. I know a few bars that sort of resemble pubs, but entry is over 18s only. Besides, pubs dont have 'big guys that go round checking for IDs' ... I'm guessing the dude was a bouncer.

BTW, hi everybody!

Wow, when did you return?!

About 10 minutes ago

howdy

 

[kirovman]

I remember you. You're on IRC everyday D:

Welcome back!

 

[Greatgat]

I remember you too, mostly because of your "Potato People" location. Welcome back!

 

[kaf11]

Nice to have you back lepobz!

I can't wait to see England for myself, I'm glad you had a good trip Insano.

 

[lePobz]

It amazes me how people can come to this ****hole and actually like it. I guess if you stay anywhere long enough you start to dislike it. Maybe if you spent a few years actually living here instead of being a tourist (and only seeing the polished 'fake britain' that tourists only ever see when they come here) you'd understand what a craphole this country is becoming.

I'd love to go to America or New Zealand some day. I'd love to go anywhere just to get out of this ****hole country!

What's the difference between a bar and a pub? I thought a pub was just in England what we call a bar.

 

[pomegranate]

Uh... I'm glad you had an enjoyable time... BUT
you really need to cut out that 'silly walk' bullshit. Few people under the age of 25 know anything about Monty Python anymore. Breaking out a silly walk in your typical UK city centre would be like a foreign tourist doing some kind of cowboy impersonation in Central LA... i.e you'd get stabbed or shot rather promptly, just for standing out like a goon.

I'm sure it wasn't a bouncer, I think it was the 'manager' of the pub/bar.

I didn't even know there was a difference between pubs and bars in England. The one we went into was the only one that didn't have a sign at it's door saying "must be over 18 to enter".

Strange, it seems that me and my friends know Monthy Python better than the British people under the age of 25 do

After a certain time you have to be 18 to be allowed to drink anything.

Shame you decided to pick dover, it's a bit crap lolol. Which says a lot if you had a good time there.

 

[Razor]

Any English person who doesn't know of Monty Python should be flown over to America and shoved out the door as the planes coming into land.

LePobz! :O

Glad to know you had a nice time. But did you actually visit the bits of England that looked like someone dumped concrete over a giant child's duplo set then covered it in rusty wire?

What the hell? Are you sure that you live in England? You'd have a hard job finding someone between the age of 16-25 that hasn't heard of Monty Python.

I didn't say 'hadn't heard of', I said they don't know anything about it, i.e. they might've heard of it, but won't be familiar with it. Most people I know of my age wouldn't know where the silly walk comes from. Many of them would never have heard of Monty Python. Not everybody likes exactly all the same obscure stuff, ya know.

Or to put it another way, most young people are pretty ignorant of any non-current culture.

 

[Sulkdodds]

You serious? Everyone I know except the really hardcore chavs (don't know many anymore since they don't go to college ahahah) - and I mean everyone, not just 'geeky' friends, would know exactly what you were doing if you did that walk.

Then again, you probably would get punched.

Must be a Sussex thing, eh? XD *nudge*

I can only assume you don't mix with people dissimilar to yourself, then. No offence.

I see why he's called 'The Big Z'

 

[Hectic Glenn]

Cos hes the man!? Sadly he doesn't have that beard anymore, but he's a diamond geezer. We got into a fight with some chavs and Z and Sulkdodds kicked major arse, shoulda seen it. AL was just standing there with his mouth open...like this

actually.
