London Again - Nubblies.net Forums

DJ FC · 07-08-2008, 02:39 PM

I'm back in London, this time for a much longer time. The understanding is I'll be here at least 2 years. I love this city, but I think a stay of this duration will present unique challenges. If anyone wants to travel Europe, London is the best place to start and you have a place to stay.

Things you can't get in London (or at least not very well):

Peanut Butter
Football
Mexican Food
BBQ
Nascar
Miller Lite
Rap Music
Good Teeth
Trouble with cops for drinking in public

Things which are better in London:

Beer
Transport
Travel
Clothes
Jobs
Soccer
Drinking in Public

What about Taco Bell? Is that over there?

DJ FC · 07-08-2008, 04:56 PM

Nope. Of the American fast food there's McDonalds, Burger King, KFC and that's really about it.

I found a place today called "tortilla" that is a complete knockoff of Chipotle. I'm excited to try it and really glad that I found it. I was here for a couple of months 2 years ago and found no satisfactory Mexican food, and only 1 half-ass BBQ place. I'm sure they exist but there aren't many and I'm sure they're not too good.

god i'm jealous of you.

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 07-08-2008, 06:26 PM

We can continue this coversation in a week. We have 3 Nubblies still alive in the WSOP main event. Congrats on moving to London for 2 years, but Big Ben couldn't bluff 7-2 off suit.

You can't get in trouble with cops for drinking in public?
Peanut butter? bullshit, plenty of it. I use some organic bullshit with no added salt in my protein shakes.
miller lite.. who gives a shit.
rap music.. who gives a shit
BBQ? wtf is that supposed to mean.
and that teeth thing is a huge stereotype.. and you know it.

Heaven Can Wait · 07-08-2008, 08:01 PM

For mexican try Chiquito's or nando's..
You have to realise that no one here gives a shit about mexico
We're you expecting a mini-usa?
Edit : Would also like to say that you're a whiney ass bitch, If I visit another country, I want to try the shit from there, not just hit the mcdonalds every day.

Cocktooth · 07-08-2008, 08:52 PM

BDH can't remove his feet from the homeland alot like myself. He might be a fairweather Cubs fan, but he wouldn't be able to keep his feet above water in any European country. * This is a challenge to BDH to do as he has said!*

BDH won't do it. He is in to much of a comfort zone in Warsaw.

Jesus man, the post was made in good fun. You forget that I also made a small list of things which are better in London?

More things you can't get in London:
Gatorade, I need to find a new hangover cure
A sunny day

More things which are better in London:
Indian food
Greek food
Turkish food
European girls

Heaven Can Wait · 07-09-2008, 04:55 AM

I think its that pride for my country coming out, apologies.
Gatorade can be found a whole load of places, my guess is every gym will have it/tesco/asda should.
Edit : found it
GATORADE - 4 PACK - £2 @ ASDA RRP £3.27

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 07-09-2008, 05:02 AM

Orgazmo · 07-09-2008, 08:34 AM

There's nothing funny about leprechauns.

BigDongedHoe · 07-09-2008, 12:25 PM

Say what you want shaw but calling me a fairweather Cubbies fan? get real.

Ugly Bastard · 07-09-2008, 12:54 PM

DJ FC · 07-09-2008, 02:32 PM

Ugly Bastard · 07-10-2008, 04:23 AM

	The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
