Ha, the souths minstry of sound is a poormans cream.

Nah man, the women in scouse-land look like they've been dipped in Ronseal, Manchester has a more earthy mix

Then why do we get all londoners and people from otherplaces in the Uk coming up here then? :P

I don't know why people go on about scouse birds all being bright orange. It's no worse here than any other major city. Take a trip round Concert Sq. one saturday night, and marvel at some of the best birds Liverpool has to offer, in very short dresses. Hurrah!

Nah there is better bars in Liverpool though.

Max hardly ever talks nonsense unless it suits him.

noone form london goes tot he minstry not on a fri or sat night anyway its tourist trap mate.

bst club i used to go to was Club uk that kicked arse back in the day (early 90's) but thats nothing compared to the big does we used to go to.



too old for all that nonsense now.

I find the nightlife in NYC profoundly moribund at the moment. Now Chicago is a much better town for that sort of thing, if you are young enough to still want it

London remains the best city in the UK for restaurants and bars where you can get a proper martini. NYC has a better level of mid range restaurants, though at the very top end, they are about the same.

Most cities outside London have one or two decent places to eat. The rest are, without fail, bobbins.

As for clubs where young folk sway disconcertingly to what can only be described as the sound of someone bashing a dustbin lid, I would not have a clue. More of a fan of Frank Zappa myself, but I suspect that would not go down to well at Fabric. Although I hear the young ladies do ( go down well, that is )

Minstry of sound ceased to be any good about a decade ago Max, you're rather behind the times.

In Brixton alone there are the following.

Babalou (formely bug bar), Mass, the Fridge, Fridge Bar, Plan B, Tongue and Groove, The Telepgraph, The White Horse, Living Rooms, The Dogstar, Jamm, George IV, Acres, Satay Bar, Studio 33, all within spitting distance of home.

That's without even journeying into the centre of town, there isn't another city in the UK that can offer than many clubs in an area that's away from the centre, and that's the big difference with London and the other cities.

Ministry is a load of wank, how is that the best example of a London club?

Try coming down here and you'll see what a nightlife is!

I have been out in Liverpool its good but I dont see how you can compare it to London. Liverpool's nightlife is centred around a pretty close proximity wheras in London there are various good spots spread across the whole city the choice is almost endless. You could go out to a different decent place every Friday & Saturday for the whole year and never go to the same place twice.

Liverpool's night life isn't centred like that lately. Clubs are being built alot around Liverpool latley.

You seem to be quite a jet-setter.... :) :)

Mid-range restaurant is all I can - or want to - afford. If you don't have decent mid-range restaurants you don't have a decent food culture, no matter how exquisite your 100 pounds plus places are. In my experience, eating well an affordable in London is possible but it normally means looking for an Indian or a Chinese place.

Guess I've grown out of that stuff, thus I need to leave it largely to you. While living in London (1995-99) I was a couple of times in the Cross Bar (great place) and in the Limelight (so so, the girls are just too young there for a guy around 30)

Do you mean The Cross club? Great place, gets a bit cramped when they pack it out though. Egg in Kings Cross is similar but a bit more spacious and has decent air con. If going out and getting bug eyed is your thing you cant go far wrong in those 2 places. Best of all the bouncers pretty much let you get on with it at Egg i.e. not hassling you or following you into the khazi etc.

The layout of the cross is well irritating, it's like one gigantic corridoor, every time I went there, I spent the entire night being jostled around like a gigantic bowling pin.

I prefer smaller bar/club type places these days, more intimate and you get to know the regulars in there, plus less moody bouncers to deal with, no queues and more decently priced drinks. Tongue and Groove is my regular these days.

T&G is good, spent many a wild night in there. Plan B gets the thumbs up too!

I remeber the place as "Cross Bar", but I may well be wrong - after all its' 7 years that I lived there. The place is in King's Cross Road or perhaps in Pentonville Road; coming from Gray's Inn Road you pass the entrance to the King's Cross Thameslink station on the right and it comes immediately therafter. It's not "The Cross" though (where I've never been). On weekends the place got pretty packed, but for a good reason - 1a music.

I've also been a few times in the Blues Bar, somewhere in Soho. Excellent life gigs.

Handselected, mediocre opponent.
Should have fougth Kessler for a real challenge instead of ducking him.

But Calzaghe won't school Lacy. The most one could expect is that he slaps slaps slaps Lacy into submission a la Mitchell.

Cheers,
