Donât forget the company youâre in Cob ⌠the daddy of provocative, Mr. Barry Sanchez.
Itâs easy to see how your provocativeness might have slipped under Cherts radar.

Only on Sotonians could we go from discussing the Spinnaker Tower to a video of that kiddie fiddler Jonathan King, via all points in betweenâŚ

I refute that all I am saying is Southampton is gash, it doesnât stop me loving the gash but it is gash, we have a shit wall and a fallen down gate entry as the pinicle of our attractions, our largest shining light is the sinking of a ship that sailed from a docking berth, we say we were bombed to bollocks in the war when infact we werenât in all reality and use it as an excuse as our City was the inspiration for Morriseys âeveryday is like Sundayâ.
The locals yearn for Woolston or the bright lights of Fawley, just something something more than thisâŚ

My 7 year old nephew makes more sense than this?

Seems a few bombs may have caused a bit of damage.

Jumpin Jaks closed ages ago. But hereâs some other clubs and lovely nightclubs.

Iâve just been reading some âterribleâ reviews on TripAdvisor as they can be quite amusing. One hotel manager had replied saying that the reviewer only left terrible reviews. Barry reminds me of that reviewer. Is anything good?
Soton is pretty crap, but I love it. Live 500 miles away (obvious joke is obvious) and still miss it on a weekly basis! Still better than P*mpey.
In irony those links are broken, for bombing there are many cities that had far worse damage in the City centre and around, we simply have never rebuilt or rebuilt and never improved.
Daily echo links are broken. Never mind.
I wasnât born in Southampton but grew up there. Having moved about a bit before then plus I have lived in a few other places, itâs not the worst place. The parks are good and plenty of them. I was able to spot it from the plane the other day due to the parks.
The walls and bargate are a great historical feature (I am biased on that one) although not up to Barryâs discerning standards. There are lots of art deco finds about the place. The cenotaph is designed by Edward Luytens who also designed the one in Whitehall and India Gate in Dehli. Some of the post war architecture isnât all that. But maybe southampton didnât have the money to build the fabulous architecture you require.
Iâve been out in Portsmouth, Southampton and Bournemouth in my younger years and cannot say there was much difference. Bournemouth doesnât seem to have a centre nor does Poole. I also spent some time in Newcastle and Sunderland. I really liked the waterfront in Newcastle and the bars. Sunderland was another matter. I do remember a ship with a revolving dance floor. Is that what would be good?
We donât have a flashy tower next to a shopping centre. Thatâs not the worst thing in the world.
Whatâs you perfect town/city Barry? A few photos and some critique would be good.

A perfect City? Hmmmm is there one? I love the history of London but dislike nearly everything else about it, Sydney as well, Brighton is also a great place.
Iâll add more tomorrow but very tired, off to bed, see you the morrow.
Despite the gripes about not incorporating The New Forest into our newly walled metropolis, I see there have been no objections about a fucking great Titan of Braavos being placed in Southampton Water.
Good.

Barryâs sleeping on it
I have to say, a big fuck off Titan would be awesome. A real statement of intent. It could maybe be eviscerating a full size replica of the Angel of the North or eating a model of the Victory. Possibly both.

True that, my regular when I was at college.
Thomas Tripp in Lymington was also very good.
