European capital of culture

European capital of culture

In respone to the arrogant geordies and people alike such as illuminous_alex (who bites the hand that feeds him by the way). i have lived in newcastle for 4 years and over the last 3 years newcastle has been transformed from being a NOTHING city to a vibrant thriving and cultured city that is still growing. The place is meant to be one of thge TOP 10 PARTY CITIES IN THE WORLD. BOLLOX!!!! THE BARS DONT EVEN HAVE 2AM LICENCES. It has one brilliant and recognised dance club and an emerging dance scene as well as the best prog productionists of 2003 (lexicon avenue if need you ask). Liverpool is brimming with culture and has a choice of 5 areas each with different personalities for nightlife and as my home city i feel i have to defend the decision so all of you egotistical assholes who havent even been to liverpool, get on with your life and make your own city better
cheers

Well said mate. Atleast there's one other person on here who has some common sense.

European capital of culture?????

if u had read everything that i have saids u will have read that i said liverpool does have alot to offer, but personally i hate it cos i am bored of living in a run down area where everyother fucker is a scally wag.

your right newcastle is not a great place for nitelife. licence's are shit etc. only 1 dance club!

But Liverpool's wank too.

What's it got? Cream? Wahey, fuckin excellent that

I've been to Liverpool on several occassions. Even broke my nose on a pavement there at 3am. Like Newcastle, it has its gud and bad points. Wudn't say it was better tho but I'm bound to be biased bcos I know a lot more about Newcastle than Liverpool.

Like I said in another thread, I believe it came down to politics in the end and not which city was best.

i cudnt give a toss who won

That wasn't the only factor tho. As clubbers, we look at it from that point of view but I doubt the judges placed too much importance on this.

Im not bothered to much about who won ,

But if Liverpool is so good and Newcastle is shit why dont you go back there then !!!

Darlo boy.

liverpool has 2am licences in most bars, in mattew st and concerts square/slater st areas.

cream

bugged out

garlands

smalled nights that get premier league djs like aztec, chibuku shake shake, circus circus, generate, accelerate, stratergy, alien resonance.

to be fair as much as i am not a fan of liverpool, the night life is excellent.

me 2

thats more than newcastle!!!!!!

Aztec's getting worse and worse DJs every month, but I agree Chibuku is rapidly becoming something big.

Circus just book average DJs.

Manchester's where it's at - CasaMusica

I was dishartened to hear that we didnt win but no big deal! As for liverpool my only experience of the place was a REALLY bad one so i aint gonna comment since its only 1 experience! Put me off going back though!

And Bars n Clubs dont make a city and yes i have been to Liverpool many times , and have had a good nights out there but as a city overall its a dump compared to the Toon its an industrial wasteland as a city your Neighbours Manchester is much better sorry but its True

next time your on a train lee.. u get thinking of us quakers.

the new stadiums nearlee finished as well... and im going home for the weekend.. thing are looking up for DARLO

do u actually go to any of these places yourself to c what they are like?

Capital of crapness then.
