For the last time, I DON'T HAVE German TV!!:laugh3:

[crazyduckette]

Page 300! We talk too much! :laugh4: woo! :nice:

I havn't really bought anything recently, I bought a bracelet today, thats about it, lol!

[Larry]

Oh, I didn't know it. :D :( Why not? Don't you want to pay "GEZ-charge"? :P

[__therese]

*sings: yeah, we do. yeah, we do*
:laugh3:

[mc_squared]

Oh, I didn't know it. :D :( Why not? Don't you want to pay "GEZ-charge"? :P

No - because I would need two dishes/boxes and I can't be bothered, especially as German TV sucks!!:P

[Larry]

Page 300! We talk too much! :laugh4: woo! :nice:

I havn't really bought anything recently, I bought a bracelet today, thats about it, lol!

:) Do you wear it right now?

Hui, another heavy thunderstorm at the moment... Wonderful lightnings! :)

[crazyduckette]

Its like a little leather kinda suede plaited bracelet, quite cheap, I just really liked it!
Im debating on whether to buy Lost Prophet tickets! Theyre coming to Brighton.

[Larry]

Therese, you're listening to Don't Panic? :P

Mark, what a pitty, they are making so many jokes about the Eurovision. Stefan just talks about the "rubber dinghy lips" of the Mazodonian woman... :D

Hm Kara I don't know Lost Prophets. Are they big in UK?

[mc_squared]

Therese, you're listening to Don't Panic? :P

Mark, what a pitty, they are making so many jokes about the Eurovision. Stefan just talks about the "rubber dinghy lips" of the Mazodonian woman... :D

Eurovision IS a joke in itself!!:laugh3:

[__therese]

^you really hate eurovision don't you?

Nope Lars, but I always start to sing it when someone says something like: we do, don't we? My friends are kinda sick of me :laugh3:

[crazyduckette]

Yeah, theyve been around about 4 or 5 years, never got that big, well, maybe for 1 year or so. I have both their albums, quite good! Quite rocky...but mellow in some bits. :nice:

[Texasluvsjonny]

May I have your attention please: Seeing Snow Patrol in 5 days. :D That is all.

[__therese]

*stranglesinsleep*

[mc_squared]

^Is that it??:stunned:

[Larry]

:D Therese! Is it also one of your favourite Coldplay songs?

Kara, I just found a song in my playlist... "Lostprophets - Last Train Home", but I don't think it's the same band. They sound quite American. :)

"May I have your attention please" always reminds me of Eminem... :P

[crazyduckette]

No, thats them! :)
Theyre from Wales.

[__therese]

It is :D Me loves it! You can just listen to it 5billion times in a row and never get tired of it. I had it as my ringtone for ages :nice:

[crazyduckette]

I agree with you about being able to listen to Dont Panic again and again and again!! theres just something about it!!! :nice:

[__therese]

It is, it's like everytime you find a new element about it that just makes it perfect :nice:

[Larry]

Oh it's really the same band? :) They don't even sound very British but I like that song. I always thought they were Americans... :D

Yeah Therese, it was my ringtone for a long time (now it's Mando Diao ^^)... it's strange! Sometimes I'm hearing a song on the radio ten times and then I begin to hate it, but it never happened with a Coldplay song. You can listen to them whenever you want. :)

i found myself listening to Shiver the other day ... and i totally forgot how amazing that song is ... it's so simple ... simply amazing

[__therese]

I liked that thought, spiritual. Now I'm gonna be on clouds for a long time :nice:

Me to, Flo is calling tomorow and I gotta get at least five minutes of sleep :shy: :kiss:

[crazyduckette]

[mc_squared]

Oh well, it's Zebedee time again!!

[crazyduckette]

Do you stay on here 24hrs or something Mark! :lol:
Goodnight!

[mc_squared]

^It has been known!!:)

[Grace]

everybody left now :(

[mc_squared]

^Except for you!!

[RICK8]

Hello,now where did you go off to mark?

:thinking:

[Grace]

mhhh ... ~

[winnie]

'ello, Grace! :smug2:
How's you?

[Grace]

hey ~ :)

yeah, I'm okay ... but i don't wanna study for spanish (vocabulary test tomorrow) and that's why i'm hanging out here

what about you?
are you okay?

[winnie]

hehe, the typical student's disaffection - I know that too well :rolleyes: ... or rather used to know ;)

I'm okay... feeling kinda charged today and my blood pressure values and the shit weather don't make it any better - but I'm successfully calming myself down with some Ashcroft music I recently bought :nice:

[Grace]

:) well, I am very pleased to hear that ... :D

yeah, the weather is pretty weird ... it changes from sunny to rainy within seconds O_o

+_+ i guess i won't study :D

[winnie]

yeah... and to make the weather here becoming completely weird, it's pretty hot and sticky - despite of all that clouds and rain! :thinking:

hehe I always found voc-tests too unimportant to study for them - are they still part of the oral grade? 'Cause I used to make up my bad voc-tests (especially in Latin) with some stupid comments during the lessons :rolleyes:

[Grace]

yep, they still count for the oral grade

and tomorrow i the last school day and i really don't want to study for such crap :)

and we also have a german exam tomorrow and i have no clue what it's about (prolly William Tell by Schiller)

O_o i'd love to sleep all day long instead of spending my precious time at school

i hope the weather will be much better on thursday and friday and the whole weekend

[winnie]

Yeah, writing examns and tests on the last school-day before holidays is awful, but... well, who understands teachers? :rolleyes:

yeah, it'd be nice to have the sun back during the holidays and the weekend... I'd love to have a Barbecue again :D

[crazyduckette]

hello, hello?

[mc_squared]

I'm here! How's it going?

[coldplay_steph]

Hey! :D

[mc_squared]

[crazyduckette]

I had a chris dream last night :blush: again!!

[mc_squared]

My car appeared to be back to normal today, which was a relief. I hope it stays that way!

[crazyduckette]

What car do you have?

[winnie]

Hello, everybody! :nice:

Mark, just as a matter of interest: What kind of car do you have? :)

[crazyduckette]

Hi! Im not sure of your real name, is it Felix? :)

[winnie]

Yeah, it is indeed! :smug2:
And yours is obviously Kara ;)
Nice to meet you :nice:

[crazyduckette]

Yep thats me!
Nice to meet you too! I seem to talk to all the people from Germany, lol!
Hows your day been?

[mc_squared]

What car do you have?

Nothing special - a Citroen AX.

It's a workhorse - as long as it's running, I'm happy!:D

[__therese]

Kara, me wanting to hear about the dream :ears:
and :dance: for tickets!

[Larry]

Good evening! :) Ah Kara, you finally bought your tickets! I'm so jealous, because I just begin to like Editors very much and they will also perform at IOW. :wink3:

Nothing special - a Citroen AX.

:lol:

[coldplay_steph]

I wanna hear the dream too Kara! :ears: :dance:

[crazyduckette]

hey Therese! and Lars! :)
Its the ferry tickets Lars! I got the festival tickets a little while ago. :nice:

Ooooh yeah the Chris dream...not that great, just random as my dreams always are!!!
.......He was working or helping out or something in Primark (what the frickin hell?!??!?!?!! ) Yeh, so I met him, was talking to him loads, then he said "come upstairs to my penthouse flat above"....we went upstairs and past a bedroom with kiddies toys etc (Apple and Moses :nice: )...then into his kitchen/living room which was very swanky and nice...I thought, he does spend his money then! Then he was cooking some spaghetti for dinner! He gave me some, we sat at the table and ate it and then we went back down into the shop and my friend Helen had her camera and took some jokey photos with us all in...
RANDOM or what. :laugh3:

[winnie]

@Kara: heh, yeah, it seems, the Germans are quite active here (not to mention you UKs and the beyond-the-ponds :rolleyes: ).
My day was like every other day - working and being bored :dozey:
And yours? I read you bought tickets to IOW... I'm so jealous... I was soooo close to buy some for myself too...

@Mark: a Citroen? hehe, all French cars I drove so far were pretty weird :nice: But your right, as long as the engine works, they're all okay ^^

[coldplay_steph]

LMFAO Chris working in Primark :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4:

[crazyduckette]

I know. SO random. I think its cause my brother works there part time at the weekends...lol

Aww....Felix, thats a shame...we could have a had a huuuge coldplaying meetup, all along the front row.

[mc_squared]

Good evening! :) Ah Kara, you finally bought your tickets! I'm so jealous, because I just begin to like Editors very much and they will also perform at IOW. :wink3:



:lol:

What's so funny??? I hope you're not one of those "car snobs"!!:P

So which car do YOU have?? A "Larsa"??:laugh3:

[coldplay_steph]

Awww :cry: that would have been awesome!

[__therese]

Awww...cute :nice:

[winnie]

Aww....Felix, thats a shame...we could have a had a huuuge coldplaying meetup, all along the front row.

yeah... particulary because it could've been the first time I would see the boys live in action. But I missed the chance... sadly :cry:

[mc_squared]

^How about EVERYONE meets up at the next Coldplay concert in Germany??

[Larry]

:D Ahhhh What a cute dream Kara! :)

Well, I just saw a nice reportage about "The British Music Week" in Berlin on TV. It's a campaign with still unknown British band who will become successful in Germany. :) IMO that's a great idea. They made an interview with "Boy Kill Boy". ^^

More information in English... http://www.britishmusicweek.de/

Mark, my parents have a VW Gold and VW Passat and yeah, your idea is great! :)

[crazyduckette]

Oh, Ive heard of Boy kill boy....got given some stickers of them at a bar. Havnt heard much of their music though.

[psychosaiqa]

hey everyone!

ahhhhh been reading all the stuff abt IOW- you guys have to take TONS of pictures and then come straight back here and tell us how it was!! :D

[crazyduckette]

hiya Saiqa! :)

Yes, hopefully we're allowed cameras!! I will take lots of photos! :nice:

[Larry]

hiya Saiqa! :)

Yes, hopefully we're allowed cameras!! I will take lots of photos! :nice:

I would also like to see some nice pictures of Steph, Nettie, fudge and you. :) Are you all going together to the festival or will you only meet each other for a day or some hours? ;)

[mc_squared]

^Yes - lets have a photo-fest in THIS thread!!:)

[crazyduckette]

I think Nettie and Steph are definitely going together..theyre sharing a tent. Im going with another friend also, called Kaz. I think Fudge may be going with Nettie and Steph but Im not sure.

Im hoping were gonna meet up on Thursday in the campsite as the festival doesnt start til Friday (the bands)...Im so excited about meeting Steph, Nettie and Fudge for the first time! :D

[Larry]

Ah, there are so many new songs on the radio I never had before... :D I like these surprising moments when you're thinking... "wow, what's that for a great song?" :)

Kara, that sounds so great! I wish I had the money to go to IOW, either. :)

[mc_squared]

Ah, there are so many new songs on the radio I never had before... :D I like these surprising moments when you're thinking... "wow, what's that for a great song?" :)

Which is something that NEVER happens in Eurovision!!:P

[crazyduckette]

Youre obsessed with Eurovision!!!!!

[Larry]

:) I like the radio station here... they always play some great unknown songs in the evening, especially German, British and Skandinavian music.

Mark, you must have seen TV Total yesterday... :P

Fudge is staying with a friend of hers at his house I think (he lives on the IOW), but we will be meeting with her, definatley!

I cant wait to meet you Kara, and Fudgie too!!!! :D

[crazyduckette]

Did Fudge buy the camping ticket though?

CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

[mc_squared]

Hope you all will have nice weather at IOW. :) I just noticed it's exactly that weekend when the World Cup starts... :lol:

[coldplay_steph]

Yeah, she bought a camping ticket as she wasn't sure where she'd be staying at the time.

16 daysssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!! :mad:

Larry - so it is! :stunned: I hadn't realised that!

[mc_squared]

Yeah, she bought a camping ticket as she wasn't sure where she'd be staying at the time.

16 daysssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!! :mad:

Larry - so it is! :stunned: I hadn't realised that!

Well let's hope it doesn't become the Isle of FIGHT!!:stunned:

[crazyduckette]

I hope the football is on when CP are on stage!!!!! Less people!

[coldplay_steph]

^LOL! Me too! :laugh4:

[mc_squared]

^What if Coldplay decided to go and watch the footie, too??:rolleyes:

[Larry]

England-Paraguay is on Saturday, 2pm British time. ;) At Hurricane festival they will build up some big screens for watching World Cup. :)

Hehe, they just played a song from Trinidad & Tobago on the radio! Wow, that sounded wonderful! :)

Now, "Music Is Power" by Richard Ashcroft! Only 7 days! ^^

[crazyduckette]

does anyone have any suggestions for good banners? I mean what to write on them!! I cant really think of anything. Are you thinking of making one Steph?

[coldplay_steph]

Oooh Larry Richard Ashcroft will be great! :)

Kara - what I was gonna put on a banner is now on my t-shirt i'm making :sneaky: hehe

[crazyduckette]

Steph!!! when can I know what is on the tshirt! :sneaky: :lol:

[Larry]

Hm, something with Coldplaying maybe... :D

:( My cat is so strange since he came back yesterday... he doesn't come into the house anymore; he always sits in the cold garage and gives us the cold shoulder. :(

[mc_squared]

:( My cat is so strange since he came back yesterday... he doesn't come into the house anymore; he always sits in the cold garage and gives us the cold shoulder. :(

Maybe he's now too fat to get through the flap!!:P

[coldplay_steph]

Nope...it's to do with Jonny :D hehe. I will try and finish it this weekend and then post a pic.

Aww Larry! Any idea why?

[crazyduckette]

awwwww. Maybe he'll return to normal in a few days? I wonder where he went when he didnt come back? :(

[Larry]

It's called "flap"? ^^ We say "Katzenklappe" lol... crazy word!

I've absolutely no idea what's going on with him... This morning he wanted to bite me. He never did it before, only when I made him angry. I really hope he'll return to normal the next days. :(

Steph, please post it here when your shirt is finished. :)

[coldplay_steph]

Aww I hope so too Larry! :(

and 'Katzenklappe' - that's a fantastic word!!!! :lol:

[crazyduckette]

If he keeps acting strangely, maybe you should take him to the vet?
Awwww....hope hes ok!

[psychosaiqa]

aw Larry- sorry about your cat! my cat's a bit of a psycho...she doesn't really like people in general unless it's my dad or mom, sometimes my sister and i. my parents left for a trip awhile back and when my cat realized my dad wasnt coming home, she hid and wouldn't come out for a week.

i'm totally getting a dog when i get older.

[Larry]

;) the cat = die Katze (female) or der Kater (male) ^^

By the way, what do you think about Tony Blair? Today I saw a reportage about him and he replaced so many ministers. He had a lot of trouble in UK, or?

Oh saiqa, that's really strange. Didn't she come to get some food? :)

[psychosaiqa]

she did...she just did it when no one was home. :P she's strange, but she's quite pretty.

tony blair= bush's little bitch (no offense to any of those who support him)

[crazyduckette]

Tony Blair is ok, he does what he thinks he has to. He made a big mistake with Iraq but I dont think he'd follow Bush again, into Iran or whatever country Bush wants to invade next.:rolleyes: All the ministers changing around, some moves were necessary, some were not. I dont really pay much attention to politics, but hear these things on the news. Its not really trouble as such.

[coldplay_steph]

tony blair= bush's little bitch (no offense to any of those who support him)

dont worry about it, I doubt there are many supporters about! :lol:

And thanks for the new nickname! :laugh3: :thumbsup:

Lars - well now i've learnt a new word in German! I can tell my gran when I see her! :D :kiss:

[Larry]

:) I liked him until the War in Iraq but I also don't pay much attention to politics. I only hate Angela Merkel so much and still want to have Schröder as chancelor again. ;)

Hm, I think I'll go off now! This morning I was sooo tired at work. It was brutal... :D Do you have a public holiday on Thursday in UK aswell? I can't wait to go out with my friends tomorrow. :) Good night everyone!

Steph, I can give you some German lessons if you want... :P

[crazyduckette]

Nah we dont have a holiday Thursday unluckily!
I forgot to ask...what do you do for a job!
haben Sie eine gute Zeit am Donnerstag!

[psychosaiqa]

y'all have a holiday on thursday? lucky...well, summer officially starts in about a day so i can't complain. ich bin saiqa-hopefully that means i am saiqa or something along those lines, or i will be utterly embarrassed. that's all the german i know lol

[Larry]

I'm working in a forwarding (is it the right word?).

It's a bit boring at the moment, but I'm young and I need the money lol. :P

Ah your German is perfect, no mistakes! :) I'm very surprised!

Yeah on Thursday it's "father day" and "Christi-Himmelfahrt" together, so every father is going to drink with other fathers. It's always funny. ^^

Saiqa, that sentence was right! :)

[crazyduckette]

We have a bank holiday public holiday on Monday! but not Thursday.

Forwarding, is that like freight/parcels/logistics kinda thing?

thanks! I didnt learn very much German, can remember a few bits here and there!

[psychosaiqa]

oh drunk dads, what a nice holiday! we call that Superbowl Sunday in the States... :laugh3: i wish i knew more german other than "i am", seems like a neat language

[crazyduckette]

lol....one of the words which I can remember really well from German is "naturwissenschaften!" (probably not spelt right!!) Strange how I remember such a long word!! :laugh4:

[psychosaiqa]

the only things i can rmr are luftwaffe and bliztkrieg, which are all war terms that i had to learn for a history project... its like knowing M-16 and AK-47 for goodness's sakes.

[Larry]

We have a bank holiday public holiday on Monday! but not Thursday.

Forwarding, is that like freight/parcels/logistics kinda thing?

thanks! I didnt learn very much German, can remember a few bits here and there!

Ah, no on the following monday we don't have holiday but the monday on June 5th... ;)

Yes indeed, you're right with forwarding. I'm still very surprised you made no mistakes. :) Naturwissenschaften = scientist :)

Saiqa, German is very similar to English...

house = Haus; mouse = Maus; fish = Fisch; bed = Bett; beer = Bier etc. ^^ But the grammar is more difficult than English... :confused:

I'm sorry that I must leave you now. :( Good night! And Kara... I hope you'll dream of Chris again. ^^

Edit: Oh you learnt those words Saiqa? Luftwaffe -> Luft (air) waffe (weapon) ; Blitzkrieg -> Blitz (lightning) krieg (war)
It's not good hearing those words... always remind me of WW II. :(

[mc_squared]

Cya!!

[psychosaiqa]

byeeeeee

[crazyduckette]

byeee! :kiss: yeah...dreams of Chris! :nice:

[crazyduckette]

hows your day going over the pond Saiqa? What time is it there? :)

[psychosaiqa]

it's going pretty good, it's about 3:45 in the afternoon here...got home at 11:30 after taking my finals, chemistry and...computer science-which i completely bombed. but hey, i don't ever have to take that class again, so i dont care! :P how's your day been kara?

[crazyduckette]

I dont know much about American highschool/college, but I guess you're graduating this year? :) Thats cool!! What are you doing next!

My days been ok (9.50pm here! :lol:)...my art foundation course is coming to an end...its manic! we have to finish our final major project and put it up as an exhibition next week! Im tired from doing loadsa last minute work lol!!

Did I hear you say you're from Texas?

[psychosaiqa]

lol yup, i'm from texas, houston to be exact.

oh art exhibition! that's awesome! i wish i were artistic, but i cant even draw a proper stick figure.

unfortunately, ive got another year before i gradute :\ but i finished my computer course so i never have to look at java programming again. :D

[crazyduckette]

ah right! I see....American school confuses me! but I guess its all different in any country :)

Is there a place called Garland in Texas, I kind of knew someone who lived there!

[psychosaiqa]

lol i do believe that there is a garland, texas
lol american school confuses me too! haha there's so much useless dumb stuff that's "required" to graduate now...it's pretty ridiculous

i knew someone who moved to west sussex in the UK...is that a city/town?

[crazyduckette]

I live in Sussex!!! and go to college in West Sussex! cool! Its a 'county', basically an area, bit like a state but obviously much smaller than American states. Do you know exactly what town or village they moved to? :)

[psychosaiqa]

really?! cool! er...all i can rmember is west sussex, but they moved ages ago, like 10 years ago almost. man, what a small world! :)

[crazyduckette]

I know! definitely small world, of all the places in the UK, I live there! lol!
I go to college in a place called Worthing, one of the bigger towns in West Sussex. It has some really nice countryside, West Sussex.

I guess its pretty hot in Texas? Did ya seen CP when they were on their tour?

[psychosaiqa]

:) i like england, i think it's a really nice place... other than the fact that there's virtually no sunshine... :P just kiddin'

oh my goodness, it is SO HOT in texas! it's ridiculous. it's up to about 95 fahrenheit here, which is i guess about 35 celsius. and to add to that is the houston humidity, which is about 100% all the time. blegh

and yes, i did see the guys when they came to town! my first time :) they were simply amazing!!!!!! did you get to see them too?

[crazyduckette]

Sounds nasty, the heat!!! Here in England, the weathers pretty good really; temperature-wise...its rained quite a lot recently and its really windy though these past few days. :rolleyes: lol!

did you get good seats?

Yeah, I saw em for the first time 14th Dec, last Christmas, best present ever, lol. I didnt get there particularly early but managed to get pretty close to the front (general admission standing btw)....I can remember my jaw dropping when Chris was dancing sooo close!!
Heres a piccy I took of Chris! bit blurry
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v301/crazyduckette/karapicschris12.jpg

[psychosaiqa]

lucky!!! that's amazing :) eh, we got decent seats, my sister and i are incredibly short so we were standing and craning our necks the whole time, but i didnt mind much. would've loved to get GA seats, but i dont think i wouldve been able to see over ppl's heads haha. nice picture!! wow y'all had a great view. the pic in my siggy is from the concert :) will with his cowboy hat and all

[crazyduckette]

oh I didnt realise!! niiiice...thats a great view!
Yeah, here in the Uk, most of the shows are GA...luckily Im quite tall! I feel for shorter people who get stuck behind real tall people. :(
You got any other gigs lined up? been to any gigs recently?

[psychosaiqa]

hmmm not really, i was gonna go to the snow patrol show but the tickets were sold out before i could buy them :( although i do think im going to see shakira w/ a few ppl in september :P i see that you're going to IOW and seeing RHCP!!!! that's awesome! have you gotten stadium arcadium yet?

[crazyduckette]

Yeah, IOW and RHCP....both so expensive!! but worth it!!! :nice:
Also seeing Hard-Fi this Friday, dont know if you've heard of them?
Yeah, I got Stadium Arcadium, at first I thought it sounded a bit samey, but now I LOVE it!! :heart:

[psychosaiqa]

:) yeah, im totally loving stadium arcadium right now
i've heard OF hard-fi, although ive never heard any of their music. what're they like?

[crazyduckette]

Theyre quite rocky/pop I guess...theyre on myspace www.myspace.com/hardfi They have cockney accents lol, London kinda based.

Fall out boy :lol:, that should be a laugh anyway! Have a good laugh at all their funny hairstyles and little pink fluffy tiaras...some girls in my college have actually dressed up as fairies before....ugh...so emo...so annoying.

Hm, tomorrow some friends of my friends (weird ^^) will perform at a festival in Bremen. Mabe we'll going to the Bremernale then. :)

What plans do you have Steph and Kara? I think Kara, you'll see Hard-Fi on Friday, or?

Edit: Never heard of "Fall Out Boy". :D Are they good?

[coldplay_steph]

Larry - I used to hate them, but their not actually that bad, I quite like a few of their songs. But all their fans are emos, which is really annoying. :\

Kara - yeah I will! I'll try and take sneaky pics of any really amusing emos so we can both have a laugh! :lol: ;)

So when does your project have to be totally finished by?

Well, Lars, there's one rather pugnacious, self-obsessed individual I have a difference of opinion with (plus some of his hangers-on occasionally), but that's old news! He's unlikely to turn up here because he "hates" Coldplay - but you never know, so be warned!!:D
I much prefer to have a laugh with you guys!!;)

And as for the rain - yes, it's getting annoying. I could have taken part in a race this evening, but in the end I couldn't be bothered.

[Texasluvsjonny]

Have you seen todays pics of Jonny. :stunned: Sweetjebusonamotorbike they are hot.

Hehe, which is your favourite member Kara? I guess Chris or Jonny (-> signature), or? ;)

[crazyduckette]

WOW! Thats an AWESOME photo of Jonny.

Yeah....Lars....I love them equally...I thought I liked Jonny the most, he might edge it slightly, but its both of them :heart:
how about you, whos your fave member if you have one?

eta: Im now politik! woo!

[Larry]

Hm, difficult question, but I think my favourite Coldplay member is Will. He's so multi-talented; he can play so many instruments. I also like the fact that he began to play the drums, just only to be a member of the band. :)

True, true! He sings, plays drums, piano, guitar!! amazing! :nice:

It isn't the prettiest or regions, that's for sure, but it's a very good area strategically. That's the advantage of being here.

I'm sorry, because I must go off now. My friends missed the first train lol, but the next train will arrive soon. Hope you both will have a great evening! :) Good bye!

Portsmouth is a little on the rough side, my mum used to live in Gosport for a short while and didnt like it really. I guess Im just thinking of the shopping bit and gun wharf lol!!!

A new way of looking at crime statistics has named Nottingham as the most crime-ridden place in England and Wales.
It had four times the amount of crime seen in the towns placed at the bottom of the table - Southend in Essex and Poole in Dorset.
Remarkably, London was placed midtable - in 29th place - sandwiched between Blackpool and Exeter.
Independent think-tank Reform said its league table of all 55 towns and cities with more than 100,000 residents revealed "huge variations" in urban crime rates.
It took latest figures for seven types of crime - murder, rape, burglary, robbery, car crime and gun crime - and came up with a crime level per 1,000 residents.
Nottingham - nicknamed "Assassination City" for its high level of gun crime - had 115.54 crimes in the overall calculation, followed by Leeds with 107.22, Stockport with 100.42 and Bradford with 100.4.
In comparison, the towns with more than 100,000 residents which came out at the bottom of the list were Southend with 30.91, Poole with 32.71 and Colchester with 33.9.
Nottingham also came top of the league table for murder, with 5.21 for every 100,000 population, followed by St Helens with 4.87, while London was 21st with 2.12.
The authors said it showed "dramatic variations" between towns of similar size - such as Nottingham's 115.5 compared with Wolverhampton (49.1) and Reading (43.4), which also have about 250,000 residents. Report co-author Blair Gibbs said: "The Government's key message that crime has been falling masks a huge variation between the safest and most dangerous urban areas. Better information and improved policing based on direct accountability to local communities is urgently needed to drive down crime and increase public safety."

[Texasluvsjonny]

no noAngie...are you sure this has nothing to do with a Pompey/Saints rivalry? :sneaky: :lol:no not at all :rolleyes: Portsmuff is a shit hole, plain and simple.

Lars, my name is Angie. Yes I met Will going to a Saints game in November. We rode on the train from London together, well on the same train, not necessarily "together" :laugh3: and walked to the stadium. I was the only person that recoginized him.

[mc_squared]

The authors of a league table of crime hotspots hope it will enable communities to demand a better performance from their local police force.

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/41677000/jpg/_41677212_gun_pabody.jpg The study covered seven different crime categories


But Reform's listing showing wide variations across England and Wales has been accused of being misleading by some of the areas branded the "most dangerous".
And the think tank itself admits the presentation "masks the wide disparity" of crime rates in London.
While police and the Home Office contend such a listing is not an accurate way of measuring crime, Reform says a similar US project has shown detailing data city-by-city can provide a "powerful incentive" on local agencies to improve.
"Better information is a key means to improve the performance of public services," said Reform director Andrew Haldenby.
"For services such as policing, where choice does not apply, it allows local communities to compare the performance of different police units and to demand better performance."
Urban areas
Nottingham was ranked the most dangerous urban area with a population of more than 100,000, with a crime rate per 1,000 people which was four times higher than in places such as Southend and Poole.
http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/shared/img/o.gifhttp://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/nol/shared/img/v3/start_quote_rb.gif It is however as close to a standardised measure as it is possible to get http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/nol/shared/img/v3/end_quote_rb.gif

Crime study angers city (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/5006852.stm)


London was placed 29th out of 55 in the comparison, but if its highly-populated boroughs were counted individually, eight of the country's top 20 crime spots could be found in the city.
Reform's study classed Portsmouth worst for rape and Manchester worst for robberies.
However, police figures show the London boroughs of Hackney and Lambeth had the highest number of rapes in the period surveyed, while the five worst areas for robbery are all in the capital.
London's position in the list is due to the fact that figures from its 10 worst performing areas have been offset by lower crime rates in outlying boroughs such as Sutton and Kingston upon Thames.
'Criminological analysis'
Reform's findings were based on a comparison of seven categories of offences - murder, robbery, rape, burglary, vehicle crime, gun crime and assault.
http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/shared/img/o.gifWORST PLACES FOR CRIMES
Vehicle crime: Nottingham
Rape: Portsmouth
Assault: Leicester
Burglary: Stockport
Robbery: Manchester
Gun crime: Bradford
Murder: Nottingham

The report gathered statistics from police figures for 2004-2005 using the Freedom of Information Act and took population data from the 2001 Census.
Rape and robbery are regarded as more serious offences by the courts than vehicle crime but high incidences of the latter would impact on a city's placing in the table.
Reform said its seven categories were "popularly associated" with the main types of crime perceived as a threat to property or person by the public.
Taken together they typically represented 34% of all property crime and 69% of all violent crime, it said.
The think tank stressed the listing was not intended to be a criminological analysis.
It did not set out to look at the causes of crime or factor in demographics of each area or whether crime was rising or falling.
"It is however as close to a standardised measure as it is possible to get for the purposes of comparison, even accepting variations in police performance with regard to detection of offences and factors affecting the willingness of the public in different areas of the country to report crime," Reform said.
'Incomparable' data
Reform's study found Nottingham, at 115 crimes per 1,000 people was also more affected than areas of a similar size such as Wolverhampton on 49 per 1,000 and Reading on 43 per 1,000.
Nottinghamshire Police said it was unfair that the city was being compared with areas which have large swathes of countryside and the council said if its suburbs were taken into account, it would be in 15th place.
A West Yorkshire Police spokesman, speaking after Leeds was placed second and Bradford fourth, said the listing was based on data which is "incomplete and incomparable".
The Home Office said two independent reviews of crime statistics were likely to make recommendations regarding the best way to present data in the future.
Social and economic conditions differ between areas and the variations in the Reform league table should not be seen as unexpected, it said. "Some higher crime areas can have effective mechanisms in place for bearing down on crime and year on year variation in crime would influence rankings," a spokesperson added.

So do you have friends in London with whom you stay when you're over?

[Texasluvsjonny]

No. I stay at hotels. I usually go by myself as all my friends have shit jobs and no money. Always go during footie season and see as many games as I can. I actually plan my trips based of the football schedules. I love London. If I had a huge bank account, that's where I'd live. I know a few people in Southampton from Saints message boards, but have never stayed there over night, just day trips. Here's my Saints shirt signed by the team.

No. I stay at hotels. I usually go by myself as all my friends have shit jobs and no money. Always go during footie season and see as many games as I can. I actually plan my trips based of the football schedules. I love London. If I had a huge bank account, that's where I'd live.

So who do you fancy for your next manager?

Well I have to say you're very well informed!! I'm impressed!!

I can't say I've given it too much thought, to be honest - whatever will be, will be.
It will be somebody British, that's for sure.

You think. Simon Jordan will be pissed if Dowie goes there. :laugh3: I'd love to see Claudio Ranieri back coaching in the UK. Just keeps your mitts off George Burnley. I get Sky Sports news and probably more football games then you because they show all the games here, some live some on tape delay. So when you have to pick between 2 games being played at the same time, I will get them both, one live and the other after, on tape delay. Only bad thing is matches start at 6:30 am here because of the time diff. 6 am is not a proper footie hour. :laugh3:

Wow! You're obviously really keen!! I have Sky Sports, of course. I often have Sky Sports News on in the background.

[crazyduckette]

Sky sports news is always on in my house.. :rolleyes: my mum and brother are obsessed, well I guess my whole family loves sport.

I am usually in deep post footie depression by now, but the World Cup starts soon, so I'm saved this summer. 2007 will suck, but Euro2008 will save me. :laugh3: We have a whole Footie channel here. It's about all I ever watch. I can't get into the MLS (America's major league soccer). The structure is crap. There's no threat of relagation, so it's just not the same. A lot of teams from Mexico play in exhibition games in Houston and they are great fun. Crowds are crazy. The big european clubs usually do an exhibition tour of the US, but they never play near me and the ticket prices are insane. I'd rather travel and see a real game over there.

Well I live in Germany, but it was impossible to get a ticket for any of the matches, which sucks!

[Texasluvsjonny]

Oh I can get tickets, for an ungodly amount of money. WC ticket packages were going for $8,000. hmmm lets see, $8,000 plus plane fare or watch for free on TV, I went with the free TV option. :laugh3:

I wouldn't pay that even if I could - it's obscene!:angry:

[Texasluvsjonny]

I'd be going crazy if I was in Germany and couldn't go. At least it's not right under my nose. Where do you live in Germany? And do you support a German club? I get the Bundesliga over here.
