The Amiga.org Circle Line pub crawl? The Amiga.org daytrip to France? The Amiga.org phat smoke?

Or Groningen?

edit: BTW, I'm about to apply for a job in the Hague.
Someone told me Den Haag is a boring place. Is this true?

Of course, I know you can't posibly be serious. If you were there would be plenty of  :pissed:  :pissed: coming from me.

Anyway, when I used to live in Mancy-land everyone there was a Northern lager-drinking poof.
(N.B. Not that there's anything wrong with homosexuality per se, it just works well in the pejorative)
It was marginally better in Yorkshire, but only just, there were lots of lager drinking neds in Leeds. (A city I love btw)

There are quite a few things I could say about the North of England ;-)

Many of them positive...

The women are more friendly (or scary, depending on the situation - they hunt in packs on Friday nights wearing mini-skirts, and in the middle of winter I might add!). Down here, everyone's about to disappear up their own arse. A girl couldn't possibly talk to a man first, they just sit there like {bleep}ing mutes until they get chatted up.

You also get less of that, spoilt middle class rich kid phenomenon up there. Pretensious {bleep}s who harp on about postmodernism and are usually humanities students wearing neckerchiefs and are as fickle as {bleep}.

You get Haddock as standard when you ask for Fish and Chips. Also, mushy peas are more common. Also, onion gravy, woohoo!

Everything's cheaper (inc. women ;-))

I'll neglect to mention the negative ones... :-)

I'll let you have your bit of fun. After all, you poor Northerners do spend 12 hours a day down the pits while we Southerners sit here getting fat off your hard work and reading the Hate Mail.





Oh, we did, until Thatcher shafted all the industry in the North (sorry, I couldn't resist the pun)

Apparently not... Curry is actually quite British (though invented by Indian immigrants) in origin.


Hmm, yes and no.
'Curry' is a British term, and a very generic one.
Many curry dishes that we are familiar with are recent inventions. (Tikka Masala and Balti being the famous ones)

BUT, if I visit one of my fave restaurants in London, it sells authentic vegetarain food from Southern India, and tends to be visited by Indian ex-pats (as opposed to lager-swilling Brits).

My local Thai restaurant is run by Thai people who were born in Thailand, the chef's from Thailand, and it is supposed to very authentic (according to a mate who spent a year teaching in Thailand)

But you would still call all this 'curry', no?



I do take your point though. For example, as an aside, I heard that chow mein was invented in Frisco, not in China...

Indeed, the Balti is a Brummie invention.  It is a known fact that you can only get a decent Balti in Birmingham alone. :-)

The penny has just dropped - you're from Birmingham?!?!
Haha - so you are a southerner too then!
:lol::roflmao:

Let the buggery commence!

BACK ON TOPIC

It would be cool to arrange a little get-together though. Perhaps in London?
Or indeed in Netherlands - we could have a joint
Southern England/Netherlands get-together.

Instead of curries, we could have champagne and hookers j/k ;-)

Hmmmm,

So to summarise we'll start with eating curry in the UK, which might or might not be an indigenous British dish, sniff some coke, swallow some pills and go north to visit some cheap women with haddock in miniskirts. Then we'll be in NL drinking champaign enjoying hookers while smoking some marihuana. To top it off we'll end up in Kansas gangbanging TPGs redheaded female friend Dorothy to make everyone's babies using bloodline's s0ck as a birthcontrol-measure while listening to Toto....

And all this while we are waiting for adz to send us tickets for Sydney.

Twice a day...

Right..? :inquisitive:


Yep, got it in one, I can hardly wait....:-D
