Edmonton will be better than Red Deer for sure.

The need for a curry or fish and chips/kebab and tossing the wrapper into the street.
Kicking the shit out of someone because they might be wearing clothing you take offence to or spoke to a bird you fancied copping off with but she rejected you and is now walking home with him.
Devouring E pills and drinking vodka and red bull in the latest night club.

What is this nightlife that Canada seems lacking in?

BTW all those mentioned above occur on Whyte Ave Edmonton most weekends.
TBH, apart the violence bit, that sounds like top night out.

FL you have perhaps put it a little strongly and from a slightly male perspective, but really....with a small variation or two, do any of us make it to adulthood without a bit of this? Isn't that all part of the growing up thing? There's plenty I'd sooner not remember, but I'm glad I did it anyway, and I shall be horrified if my son doesn't do it one way or another....I'd just sooner not see...or cope with the end of the Kebab! That being said, I'm just off to bed, but oh heavens how I could murder a Doner Kebab right now, and no I don't mean a bloody Donair!

I do do hope That Suarez find a good place to let off lots of youthful healthy steam!

Sounds very desirable rather than worthy of complaint.
