So, I’m moving to Brighton on Sunday the 18th. I was down there this weekend and had a chance to properly wander around the place. It… it’s a little bit more interesting than Chelmsford in Essex (WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? \u2013 Squage).<\/i><\/p>\n
Whereas Chelmsford has the usual run of soulless chain shops and restaurants and a couple of shopping arcades, Brighton offers not only these amazing features but also a huge array of quirky locally owned shops, sweet shops, veggie restaurants, outdoor stalls.<\/p>\n
(Ok, that’s not a surprise \u2013 Squage)<\/i><\/p>\n
Chelmsford graffiti consist of hastily-scrawled spray paint featuring the call-sign of a local “yoof kru”, Brighton’s equivalent is two-storey tall complex works of art depicting manga characters, Star Wars scenes, life-like paintings of Aung San Suu Kyi and loads more.<\/p>\n
(Cool, but not a surprise \u2013 Squage)<\/i><\/p>\n
Ok, Brighton’s bars are a fair bit more expensive than Chelmsford’s, plus it’s full of stag and hen parties. But the former’s fine given I’ve a student union to go to and the latter’s fine as it rather adds to the fun atmosphere of the place (although I’ve not been wandering around at 2am on a Saturday yet). There’s a really cool feel to the place, just an underlying feeling that people like living there.<\/p>\n
(Hang on, hang on, stop a second. So what you’re really saying is “Brighton’s a city, and it’s bohemian, and it’s a party town, and you like it”? – Squage)<\/i><\/p>\n
Yes.<\/p>\n
(I think everyone knew that. What are you bothering mentioning it? \u2013 Squage)<\/i><\/p>\n
BECAUSE I WANT TO EXPRESS HOW FRICKIN’ AWESOME IT IS THAT I’LL BE LIVING THERE.<\/p>\n
(So, basically, you want to rub it in people’s faces? \u2013 Squage)<\/i><\/p>\n
Of course not. :-)<\/p>\n
(You’re happy to make people think you’re a gloating tool? \u2013 Squage)<\/i><\/p>\n
That don’t! :-)<\/p>\n
(You are literally too stupid to insult \u2013 Squage)<\/i><\/p>\n
Stop quoting from The Hangover<\/i>.<\/p>\n
(Would you please put some pants on? I feel weird having to ask you twice \u2013 Squage)<\/i><\/p>\n
Ok, that’s enough. <\/p>\n
BYE!<\/p>\n
