Broad st is a long neon strip of chain bars and clubs. Lots of people love it but I find it boring and expensive. Quite likely to get into a fight and you can never get a taxi. Maybe I'm just a bit too old for it.

Digbeth is the best night out IMHO, closely followed by moseley.

Did some work in Burton-on-Trent in May and spent a night in Birmingham. My mate lives there. It wasn't as bad as 1999 but still not a city I like.

By the way, Reading is really nice now, I think you should revisit there. :p

Because I've already visited Liverpool last December to see the Bunnymen, visited it again in June for job reasons, and may visit again in December for another Bunnymen gig... I've seen Liverpool already, don't worry ;) Now first tackeling Leeds, Manchester and B'ham :)


Thanks for all the hints, lads, keep 'em coming !

If you are single, go to Nottingham. Women outnumber men by 10/1. :D

:eek: Seems like my next destination is set then :D I'm sure they'll perform in Nottingham as well sooner or later...

Still no date in Belfast and Dublin :eek: Come on management, I'm getting impatient ! :mad:

Did I read that it also has the highest rate of STD's in teenage girls in Britain?
Also has more armed police.

Great night out though. :D

Supposedly not anymore. My boss was there on Friday and he said its not full of women at all. Sounds like a myth made up by the nottingham tourist board to me :D ;)

Full of the men looking for their 10 women now I'd say. A macro version of what happened to Coppers.... :D

Sorry I just worked out what you meant - I take it were talking about the jobs that Mr. W. Rooney allegedly had in Liverpool ;) :D
