If it's Birmingham, shoudn't it be "It's not Shite"?

Is there a campaign for "Biarritz, C'est ne pas Merde"? If not, there should be. It needs all the help it can get. God, what a dump...

In the name of honesty and balance, I think perhaps I should start a "Coventry - it is shit" campaign. Probably an even worse and god-forsaken hole than Brum. I've never met anyone from Cov who speaks well of it.

(Sorry Dawn).

Sorry, but Brum is miles better than Coventry. We have 50% more motorway in terms of lane miles than Cov.

Also Brum won a civic award for excellence from the Concrete Commission in 1972. Not many places that can say that!

Also, to keep the riff raff out from the US, it costs twice as much to fly from NYC to Brum than to London. See, it's really going places.....!

I was on Broad Street the other week, and indugled in the local tradition of drinking as much as you can before 11pm, throwing up in the street, going for a curry, then throwing up again. Brill!

Wow you are a bitter old fart aren't you? lol

Here's another couple for you then Twatrick.
Patrick in NC is genuinely intelligent and always has knockout witty replies.

Patrick never uses words he doesn’t know the meaning of...such as deluded.

Patrick is an Engineer who works for Boeing and not the guy who fixes the coffee machine.

Oh I must behave and not respond to the anti Scottishness of Patrick.

If the Feds discover that all the wind in NC was coming from him he would be deported.

Making call to feds now......

I've never been to Brum even though I have 20 relatives on my Christmas card list that live there! Soooo all I can say if it wasn't for Birmingham we wouldn't have had "Brookside"!

Brookside was set in LIVERPOOL.

However, if it's connections with dreary soaps you want, wasn't Crossroads set in Birmingham?

And I'd rather live in Birmingham than Milton Keynes.

Gee poshpaws, It's surprising that someone as tolerant as yourself would bring up the subject of foreigners...after all your post about Muslims and Enoch Powell's "wisdom" http://britishexpats.com/forum/showt...hreadid=177822 was a great advert for world harmony

And by the way are you not actually a foreigner yourself right now?

Greetings to you too Tony!


A foreigner I surely am..as you are too I believe. I think the flea up your bum is a little more active than mine though. You seem to latch on to anything for a good fisticuffs. Well, I'm not biting, so sling your hook in another direction old son.

To think I helped you with air fares to the UK as well. Such gratitude.

Oi - thats only true of the people that have BEEN there...of the rest, 50% THINK its probably shite, 49% couldn't give a toss cos they're never going to go anywhere near it, just in case, and the other 1% are hoping to be move there (ie upwardly mobile Brummies)
