cybermuleHmm. For the first time in about 5 years I have an urge to go clubbing. Only problem is, I haven't got the faintest idea where I'd want to go in Bristol. I'll probably just put the idea down to having drunk too much coffee, or mix some annoyingly loud choons instead :P
Still strangely cheery :)
The weather's better than predicted, so first I'm off to do some gardening...
UPDATE Had Tesco Asparagus cup-a-soup when I should have known better. Barf-tastic! :-s

Date: 2003-11-04 01:45 am (UTC)hehe. the uk doesn't particularly interest me. apart from the fact that you're over there. :P altho, come to think of it, the weather almost reminds me of vancouver over here, which is the top place in canada. do you get mild weather all year long basically? one thing i heard tho is that it's cloudy and rainy 90% of the time, in england anyway. :/
u definitely have a better party scene than montreal. unless it's just that you have a lot of major cities all over the place? there seem to be good parties all over the place, and every couple weeks!

Date: 2003-11-04 02:11 am (UTC)Yeah - it gets colder the further north you go, but never really that much below freezing. Odd cold snaps, but nothing lasting very long/
one thing i heard tho is that it's cloudy and rainy 90% of the time, in england anyway. :/
LOL - everyone thinks that. Mike from the 20-somethings list was telling me once how he's only going to visit Wales because it sounds so sunny and romantic compared to grey rainy England. Whereas it's really the other way around, as most wet weather comes in from the Atlantic. Heheh, plus, much as I love Wales, about 80% of it is mining wasteland :P
Umm - that was a massive ramble. It doesn't rain that much, but I guess we're infamous for having rain in the summer. Not so much these days :)
unless it's just that you have a lot of major cities all over the place?
Hmm. Lots of cities, or at least in the Midlands and south of England. They're not all that major - Bristol is about 10th biggest with about 250,000 - but there are a lot of them, and each has a university and so also has plenty of clubs. I think the SW and Wales are particularly good - lots of open public space, so this is where the free party scene mostly grew up :)

Date: 2003-11-09 08:08 pm (UTC)Well I have a friend who lived in England for 2 years. He's the one who told me that the weather is shit. I've not heard it as a consensus or anything, so it may only reflect his biased opinion. He really hates rain. We went to Thailand for a few weeks, and we ended up getting a week of off-season monsoon, and he was extremely depressed and whiny about it, whereas I didn't really mind. But what he did say was that it was basically almost always cloudy.
so this is where the free party scene mostly grew up
I sooo wish we had a freeparty scene, I miss that.

Date: 2003-11-10 02:56 am (UTC)lol - that would explain why he hated it then. It does rain quite a lot. I guess I don't really notice as I actually quite like rain, and wuite dislike hot/sunny weather. I enjoyed this last summer, but I wouldn't want the weather to always be like that. Hmm. I think what ppl generally dislike is that it's so changeable here - it can rain and be very hot all within a few hours. I kind of like that - it's annoying at times, but then when I've been to other places I've found the consistently hot and sunny weather rather dull.
I sooo wish we had a freeparty scene, I miss that.
:) we're pretty lucky - the scene was squished a bit in 1994 (there was a HUGE party in a posh bit of the Midlands in 1992 - google castlemorton and festival), but it kind of bounced back in the past few years. Plus, like I said, quite a lot of clubs and so on that you can go to. if you find the right one, that's nearly as good for a lot of ppl. prefer the open space myself, but each to their own :p

heh yah me too. i gave up on indoor parties a few years ago (and clubs a few years before that), basically ever since i tasted outdoor ones hehe.

*nods* I did outdoor parties long before clubs, so my first clubbing experience was mostly whinging about feeling claustrophobic ;)
