Patta' cake, patta' cake, Bakers man...I've been accepted into University of Portsmouth! - something something Dan.
I got in on 'merit' alone, according to the bloke who interviewed me. It's quite good news.

isn't getting in on merit
the way most people get into uni?
congrats, btw!
No.
What I meant to say was I got in on ability...he didn't even want to know what the final grades of my college course were.
Boris Johnson told me that
Portsmouth was one of the worst cities in England :(
its true
It is very true
indeed :(, horrible place, I even hate the nice places. Southsea is nice :).
so...
thnaks for that. good to know.
You'd rather go there
innocent and unknowing of the chavtasticismness that you're to meet? Fine by me, Portsmouth's lovely :).
No, I'm fully aware of that side of things.
I enjoy being in that enviroment.
He said:
"Here we are, in one of the most depressed towns in Southern England, a place that is arguably too full of drugs, obesity, underachievement and Labour MPs."
On the upside though, give it two years and there won't be any Labour MPs there!
:D
*stand corrected
chugga chugga drums
What number are you?
I'm 46.
WHO CONTROLS THE BRITISH CROWN!
Boris Johnson lies.
Its nice. Especially when its all summery like today. The uni is pretty good also. What are you studying?
Urrrrrrmm. No.
I've been to Portsmouth a lot of times and let's be honest, it's a hole.
Fratton is simply vile.
Boris was right. Again.
where would you consider nice...
???
Henley
Gay Guevera
even thinks Stoke Newington (posh London place) is rough
i dressed up
as a promotional ear in waterlooville for 30 quid a couple of years ago.
it was an experience.
Tell me more
Fratton isnt pretty i'll give you that
Its a really poor area but if you're studying at the uni you'll have no reason whatsoever to go there. The uni quarter is totally different and southsea common is great for summer drinking and bbqs.
Seriously, you will have a good time. It's just the uber-indie london people on this site who think anywhere outside the capital is just a total abyss.
^^^ see, here's someone with a little decorum
cheer's mate.
No problem.
pm me if theres anything specific you want to know about the place. I've just finished my first year studying there. I love it.
Congratulations
Portsmouth is a bit of a shit hole to be honest, but like everywhere, i'm sure there are some nice places and some not so nice places.
Plus a few friends studied there and loved it.
None of them got stabbed either...
Why do people keep dissing Portsmouth?
Some bits are skank, some are nice. Southsea's alright, I wouldn't even say Fratton's terrible, it's just a bit rundown in parts. Decent shopping and shizzle and a better city than Southampton (cue controversy).
Whilst it most certainly isn't better than Soton.........
it isn't the warzone that some people say it is!
....and you'll get to hang out at the Wedgwood Rooms which gets serious gig action so that's alright.
Oh, you'll also be less than an hour's drive away from Brighton so you can always
head there for weekend away breaks when the mood strikes you.
Thanks.
I'll keep the Wedgwood Rooms in mind.
congratulations
enjoy your self :)
^ This being the main thing!
Whoop!
Many congrats x
Bully for you
I hope you mature enough between now and then otherwise the whole experience could be rather embarrassing for you.
duly noted
username: 'alcofrolic'
username: 'fucktherave'
what's your point?
calling someone out for immaturity/being uneccsairly and unhumerously mean
when you post under the name alcofrolic, somewhat ironic.
*uneccessarily
i dunno
I don't weigh in without reason
And I fail to see the irony, a username's a username, and mine - possibly like yours, possibly not - has a story behind it.
well it was just a bit silly
hes just been accepted into uni and you use it as a chance to have a swipe at him. bit silly i thought.
I'd have been perfectly pleased for him!
Don't know Portsmouth, wouldn't have passed comment at all if it wasn't for an unneccessary message he'd sent in response to someone's opinion of Portsmouth.
your silly fucking mate...
...needed putting straight.
Woah that is out of line
Why am I surprised at that? You called a 15 year old girl a "dick'ed" because she said Portsmouth was horrible.
Point 1) She lives there. She knows. Point 2) She is as entitled to express her opinion as you or I are, regardless of her age.
dick'ed
:O WON'T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!?!?!
i dont really see one anywhere on this thread?
That's because he wasn't man enough to say it infront of everyone.
He had to privately message it?
so sniping at him solves the issue does it?
Well similarly how does you taking up arms solve the issue
?
im just suggesting that maybe two wrongs dont make a right
Town Cryer
Hello world. I am Liam. Here is a transcript of a message I sent this sweet, adorable little girl:
'you're 15. How the fuck can you have social pretension at such a juvenile age? You're barely in double digits.
I'd hazard a guess that your parents are swanking their semi-detached smart with Ikea furnishings...handing out pithy snippets of advice to all the council mums. They have done a good job in raising a rather disgusting child.''
Now. Let's truncate further correspondent's, and be on our merry way. Problem solved. Boring matter over.
Seems to me like someone's got a complex
:)
seems as though he also has a point
me with a complex?
take that scarf off and show your turkey neck.
P.s.
20 years of age, and still sporting a jacket with a 'skull n crossbone'' motif?
That's questionable at best.
when all else fails...
attack the profile picture.
I'll change it, just for you :)
no thankyou.
One picture is enough.
How wounding
...
I was being sincere with that one.
No bitterness.
But you obviously have a complex if you're going to change a profile picture over two petty comments from me.
That's why I'm laying off the slanging match now (with the exception of that thread).
COCKTEASE ALERT!
It's a photo of me SAT ON MY BED.
It needed changing anyway, I've had my hair cut short :) Shorter hair reduces the need for stupid hats and/or hair accesories...
...Or so I thought...
Know when to stop.
P.s.
Surprisingly good looking.
P.p.s. Appreciate the fact that I'm swallowing my pride by paying you that compliment.
INTERNETS
IS SERIOUS BUSINESS!!!!
Don't worry Jack...
...the little minx is out on a sabotage mission. That, or she's a horrendous cock tease.
I just dont like it Liam.
i bet shes one of them people who thinks everyone loves her, oooh im the life of the party i am! i frolic and im ever so much fun when ive had a few drinks teehhe. FUCK OFF
she probably refers to getting drunk...
...as 'getting squiffy''. She's got that sort of kittenish, twee-ness in her eyes.
Makes you want to sick up on a kitten.
"Sabotage mission"?!
"Squiffy"?!
"cocktease"?!
'squiffy'' 'cocktease''
Them two were aimed at you. As for 'sabotage mission''...apparently I was venting them repressed James Bond fantasy. The vernacular is in place...shame I only have a tiny penis.
Instead of 'them'
try 'those'
And may I also suggest 'a' or 'that' instead of 'them' before the James Bond fantasy.
Commiserations about the tiny penis, see earlier reply about having a complex. Perhaps the two are linked?
criticising grammar
the sign of being unable to answer a point
There was no point
Except an ungrounded accusation of me being a cocktease, tied in with a comment about a tiny penis.
Both of which are totally unrelated to the issue concerned.
I just like bragging about my tiny penis.
ho ho ho...green giant.
when all else fails...
Correct the grammar. A sure sign of someone who's 'losing''...and not just this arguement.
fucktherave, im disapointed in you
fucktherave seems to be very angry at the moment
He's an angry avenger.
I've known him since senior school.
He's just defending my honour. :)
