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.

Maybe I should have said "Balti".

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

Come the revolution you'll all be forced to be buggered by the tourists instead of buggering each other at school. :-P

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...

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 ;-)

@Cyberus

Yeah go on aggravate the North / South divide will ya! :pissed:  

We only tested the concept so that if it failed other AmigaOrgers wouldn't have to suffer ;-)

Don't let your envy of it's success cloud your judgement. The risks that we took to serve the interest of the Aorg community deserve more recognition.

Bottom line, we should be invited to any southern event aswell due to our position as founding members of the AOrg Curry Night Establishment (ACNE for short)! :-P
