But why do it at all? Let's face it, you don't give a toss about my comment or me being slightly annoyed. I don't believe that you're sad enough to care about that, so why waste even a second on the slightly disturbing archive dredging? To win an argument? There is none. To prove me to be some sort of hypocrite? Why? How bored do you have to be to think that that's worth even the slightest bit of effort? It just makes you look a bit odd. I mean, it's impressive that you'd bother, in a strange way, but it's just so pointless.

Wow. That's weirdly impressive. I mean it is weird but I think the impressed part wins out.

Maybe we have more than our fair share, but we're not full...plenty of room for a psytrance aficionado such as yourself...but only if you knit your own drugs obviously.

The yoghurt weavers by were driven out some years ago. Totnes or Glastonbury if you want yer chakras re-aligned these days I'm afraid.

tbh there's still a few dug in on Muesli Mountain, but even those are being driven out by rowdy students

No! There's absolutely no room in Brighton for fuckin' psytrance. Ever.

Why? Because you don't like it? What I said was true. It was the mildest of jibes. Think Londoners can handle it. Especially the normal ones.

It's similar to New York but the characteristics that define it are in greater evidence in its US counterpart. New York more multicultural (by most measures), more of a 24 hour metropolis, much bigger financial centre and so on. London is like a more boring NYC.
They needed more space to free-range after they bred. Which leads me to asking is referring to people with kids as 'breeders' a Brighton thing? I've come across this a couple of times and thought it might be a green thingtbh there's still a few dug in on Muesli Mountain, but even those are being driven out by rowdy students
I know 3 psytrance artists in Brighton I'll see if we can build on it

I'm not especially normal, but I am a Londoner, born in the boroughs and still resident.
There is nothing at all to be offended by. I love NYC, but there's more to it than "London is a shit New York" (oh yeah? Count our parks, motherfucker? And where's your history? Built over in the last 100 years, innit). But London and Londoners catch a lot of bigotted flack from people who like to apply a picture of the super rich twats to the more than 10% of Brits (many among he very poorest in the country) living here. There's a lot of offensive shit being spewed about London. Prejudice and smuggery. But saying its a shit NY *really* isn't it.

I think my less inflammatory way of putting it in a subsequent post hold some water though.
The things that London bases its modern image on tend to be diluted New York concepts.Multiculturalism, being a fast-paced metropolis, being the "world's greatest city".London takes its business cues and many of its trendy ideas from its transatlantic cousin and apes it to some extent.
London has a longer history, true. I think New York is fine for parks isn't it? There's not just Central Park.
I wasn't attacking normal Londoners. Not this time. Many of you are fine.

Tbh, I think NYC and London are pretty equally cunty and self-important, but there you go.

What is the exact problem with psy-trance? Obviously out of tribal loyalty I hate it - but I'm not quite sure why.
Listen, I'm very old and only slightly pissed. The whole point of Brighton is that it is incredibly classy, a bit dodgy, more than a tad camp, a bit Southend, a bit this, a bit that. I fell in love with all the architecture, the seediness, the archness and the arches, when I was 14. If you don't get it, you should live in one of the places you want it to be: be that Southend, Bournemouth or London, even. It is all these places and none of them. It's my first love.
