Didnt we do the tourism figures on here when shitcraicmick was posting and didnt i find the links that proved him wrong? Cant be arsed to look but am sure i posted official regional tourism data showing that Newcastle and its environs pissed all over Liverpool's tourism numbers.

 

Our city's history is far better than Liverpool's, a deep, rich history that led to a prosperous and beautiful city. In the 17th century, travel writers said the town in the country that most resembled London was Newcastle. In the 16th century the inhabitants of Liverpool wrote a begging letter to Queen Elizabeth from "her majesty's poor decayed town of Liverpool". Its interesting, you wonder whether a city's character is ingrained? Things picked up for you pretty quickly in Liverpool in the 1600s but by that time Newcastle has 1600 years of intensely important history. The outer edge of the Roman empire and its role in the subsequent power struggles after the fall of Rome (e.g Vortigern and the saxons), the birth of Christianity, Bede, Norman keeps and conquests, the 13th century wool and coal trade etc. All this time Liverpool was a non-descript swamp. Anyone with any respect for history and heritage would choose visiting Newcastle over a city famous for a fucking pop band.

No, you actually compared tourism figures to the North East against figures for the city of Liverpool, and not the North west.

 

 

To start with, I haven’t slagged Newcastle, why would I? I have nothing against any other city. There are some I don’t particularly like, but not to the extent that I’d want to write about them on a forum.

 

I like Roman history, that’s why I love having the City of Chester on my doorstep. It really doesn’t matter to me when anyones history started. My own city has a fine history of it’s own whether you like it or not.

 

There must be a few million disrespectful people then because it seems the biggest fucking band in the world is a bigger draw than Newcastles Roman heritage.

Why are you whispering?

 

I dont remember but i should have argued to that point that Newcastle IS the north-east in the sense that it is the epicentre for the economic and geographic importance. You cant argue that for Liverpool and the North West.

 

On your last point, i nearly said the same thing, the people that go there instead must be mugs.

But Newcastle isn't THE North East, it's a city in the North East and as such you should have compared like with like.

 

These figures don't include The Beatles and I can't see much of Newcastle there either, I'm sure I must have missed them all.

I read somewhere that Detroit in America is the yank version of Liverpool, population has halved, and the ones who remain and the city itself with its industries are examples of capitalism gone wrong.

Our population hasn’t halved at all.

 

 

Liverpool themselves started reducing their population in the 1960’s to new towns, Skem, Kirkby and Runcorn because it was over populated. This has carried on through the last few decades; there are still swathes of empty houses waiting to be demolished.

 

Proven clueless liar here. I state a fact he denies it, I provide evidence, and he gets emotional ignoring the fact he told a lie earlier by saying it hadn't halved. Course it did you embarrassment.

You’re one of the worst bigots I’ve seen on the net and I really don’t think I’ve come across anyone as jealous of Liverpool as you are. It’s like a sickness, you just can’t resist looking and reading every little thing you can about it, just to make yourself even more jealous.

 

I have no problem being arrogant where you’re concerned, you’re like the old drunk sitting on a street corner with a bottle of meths in his hand, shouting the odds at everyone and anyone, with no sense to your words. You’re more to be pitied really, but hey, I’m arrogant enough to know that if I was anything like you I’d curl up in a corner with a bag over my head crying ‘unclean, unclean.

I'd like you to list reasons I born and bred in England's finest provincial city, would be jealous of coming from arguably the worst city in Britain. I want 10 bullet pointed reasons, just why I would be jealous, it's like being jealous of someone who's a convicted criminal with terminal herpes.

Pacinofan, you do realise it's possible to think ill of somewhere/something without being jealous of it? I think Nickleback is shit and I'm not jealous of his success.

 

Nice moving of the goal posts by the way. 1st Liverpool was the most bombed, now when it's been stated that categorically untrue, it's the most damaged square mile?

 

This is why people all over the country think scousers are twats. Oh and the only reason people come visit Liverpool is the Beatles, and how many of them stuck around your wonderful shithole? Didn't Ringo recently slate it himself?

You jealous bastard, your hatred and jealousy of de Pool shines through lad.

 

:lol: You're absolutely spot on, I don't think in Newcastle in particular there's a bigger dislike of Liverpool than anywhere else, you live in London, I think it's bigger there than anywhere else that I've seen it. Your post is one of your finest on here in my view, succinctly put and sums everything up.

It's ridiculous comparing the two. You know a place is shit when you're arguing if you got bombed more than Hull or not in the war, and who made more money you or Bristol off African slaves. It's like Aston Villa's slogan "Proud History Bright Future" and you think what, 6 trophies in the last 110 years, 30,000 there every week and no identity, wanks the pair of them.

Squeaky voiced helium city tbh. I actually quite like the accent on the girls cos it's feminine, but theres no way a bloke should sound that high pitched. Stevie G ffs and that's not even an extreme example.

 

 

It's true though, heterosexual males should not sound as high pitched as Scouse males do. It is a scientific fact.

Dolphins think humans are trying to communicate with them when scousers say "erm". "ayyyyyyyyyyym".

Who cares it sounds hot. I love english accents. London is so boring.

There's about 4 different accents in London alone, probably more. About 1 in 10 people in London speak like HM The Queen.

No surprise you'd have to be watching an animal program to find a scouse lass hot. That's like watching Songs of praise and randomly Fern Cotton comes on... suddenly you think "Fuck me, I'd tear a piece off in her"

 

awful accent, charver fashion "sense", bad attitude and terrible education. mmmm Scouse girls are.... well just above the non-entity towns like Stoke and Crewe to be honest.

 

EEEEeeh Sharon, this geezah thinks the beatle's aren't as good as we makkkkkkkkkkkkkke out.

 

 

 

Stones ftw

No Dave, it's quite hot on a girl. That's because it's a girly accent.

 

Look at Paul Scholes, 5ft ginger gimp but he's got a bit of depth to his voice because it's an accent where you form words further towards the back of your mouth somewhere just above your bollocks. That accent on a girl is horrendous for the same reason. Scouse on the other hand is all at the front of the mouth, high pitched. Great on a girl as its effeminate, horrendous on a lad and very emasculating. As I say, look at 'Carra', a 6ft gripper but sounds like a five year old girl in knee high socks.

I think it sounds awful on a girl. The only north west accent I like is charva manc, everyone else sounds like a cunt. That's just how my ears see it, but I have to say a Wigan accent on a lass is as bad as it gets.

:lol:

 

Nah Scouse is better on a girl than Manc iyam. That band of Pennine towns between Bury where Scholes is from and T'Leeds is the worst for female accents though. Gets way too deep. Take that Chanel Hayes off BB-bonny as owt but a voice from hell.

 

Hot female accents = Scouse, Geordie, (posh) Scots and South Welsh.

Hot female accents IMO = RP, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Belfast and that's it. I think a nice Newcastle accent on a lass i.e not how I talk, its alreet, but a charva toon accent is as bad as anything on a lass, maybe that's my bad memories like.

 

Accents on a lass which will crush a viagra enhanced 10 inch beamer = Any generic southern one, Scouse, Lancashire/Yorkshire oh dear (when you hear a lass from Bolton, t'Leeds, Blackburrrrrrrn, Sheffield) you just think oh dear, Mackem up there with the worst, Welsh, Brummie.

You can't be serious about Belfast like?! Christ on a crutch! :lol:

I am. I love Belfast accents on women so a do. I like them full stop great accents so they are. They could be saying the most insignificant thing ever but it always sounds interesting in a Belfast accent. "Jusht away for a wee shite sho I ahm". Great accent.

 

I know what you mean about the Yorkshire accent on t'women. It's like to me people from Yorkshire are all taught, and brought up t'proper way, no t'queers, dinner on t'table when t'pub shuts at 3 t'thirteh ont Sunday, or they get shown what t'Barnslehhh discipline is all about. It's like an aggressive stiff upper lip culture where t'spade is t'spade, and even the women get enveloped in that.

I was amazed when I first met Yorkshire lasses at Uni, they literally sounded like blokes. A lot of them anyway, some were very sweet but it was a rarity and they were certainly more Western/Southern than Northern Yorkshire.

 

They have banter like blokes too which is a plus but you can only go so far down that road...
