To think that Brighton is a hideous dump

Just looking at these pictures:

Yes I know there's probably a similar amount of rubbish on Bournemouth beach, but at least they've got SAND for fuck's sake.

As far as I can tell the only purpose Brighton serves is to be an easy journey from London on the train. All this bollocks about it being bohemian (i.e. lots of stag dos) is a front for the fact that it's effectively Croydon-on-sea - an expensive London commuter town but with extra vomit and seagull shit.

It's hideous.

It's a date nigel!! I've got a couple of crystal encrusted dried monkey heads - I'll bring them along. And the Tarot cards. And some whole meal recycled lentil sandwiches! Great day out!

Yes nutter of the day and considering she only joined MN today that is some mean feat Grin Unless she has namechanged and is scared of the wrath of a thousand witches if she uses her 'real' name

LentillyFart · 27/07/2012 12:01

I have lived all over Brighton and am currently close to Whitehawk. It's been more peaceful here than anywhere else. Do wish those damned witches wouldn't howl all night though!

gnushoes · 27/07/2012 12:02

Can I come too? We could sacrifice Jocasta on Dukes Mound?

ddubsgirl · 27/07/2012 12:03

lol yep! use to live up on bristol estate out of both i liked it up there better :) but its not that bad,yes brighton has suffered like 99% of other towns.cities shops have closed,west st is a no go unless your out clubbing but more to the city than that,1 thing i hate is we dont have a decent swimming pool!

FallenCaryatid · 27/07/2012 12:03

'what excatly was carried home at the end of the day '

Slipper limpets and sea glass, driftwood and tiny fragments of shell, housebricks turned into oval orange pebbles by the waves, different stones with multiple holes bored through them. Pebbles that look dull and ordinary until you get them wet and then they shine with a hundred different patterns and shades.

Nothing much!

LentillyFart · 27/07/2012 12:03

Dukes Mound? But that's where The Gays do their ritual sacrificing!

ddubsgirl · 27/07/2012 12:05

lmao and the nuddy beach!was guy there other night naked we were sat just over from there was fine,kids had a giggle till he bent over :/

LentillyFart · 27/07/2012 12:07

It's always the old geezer displaying the last turkey in the shop on that beach isn't it! Funny as fuck!

ddubsgirl · 27/07/2012 12:07

lol

Goldenbear · 27/07/2012 12:12

Where did you actually live Finn and how long ago are we talking? You say the outskirts- hollingbury? Withdean? The withdean witches of suburbia?

FreudianSlipper · 27/07/2012 12:12

now hastings early evening has got a spooky feel about the place it suddenly (or when i was there) became foggy and very quite no one was about still like the place made it more interesting

gnushoes · 27/07/2012 12:12

Brighton: a city of wrinkly genitals, Jocastas, pebbles, lentil-eating (and consequences).. and scarlet day-trippers. And very tolerant. Wouldn't have it any other way.

FallenCaryatid · 27/07/2012 12:14

Finn, you are right, it is a dreadful place full of satanic dangers and crystals.
You Must Never Return Or Your Very Soul Will Be In Peril.
Heed my warning.

cantspel · 27/07/2012 12:19

maybe the devils dyke has got someone confused and thinks it is a coven of lesbien witches

ddubsgirl · 27/07/2012 12:20

maybe i was up there last night walking the dog,i did wonder what the kids were doing ;)

Ormiriathomimus · 27/07/2012 12:20

"Brighton: a city of wrinkly genitals, Jocastas, pebbles, lentil-eating (and consequences).. and scarlet day-trippers. And very tolerant. Wouldn't have it any other way!" Sounds bloody lovely Grin But I live in another 'hideous dump' and I'm quite happy with it. So i am clearly easily pleased.

confusedpixie · 27/07/2012 12:48

Love the devil worship, where can I get in with that crowd? Grin

FinnBuckingham · 27/07/2012 13:58

loooooooooool....you lot are funny....at least I gave you all a laugh and some outrage....Grin

MrsHelsBels74 · 27/07/2012 14:00

Can I join in with the devil worshipping? I'll bring my wand & tarot cards Grin

Pandemoniaa · 27/07/2012 14:21

I just said there is alot of child abuse and devil worship stuff going on.....IMHO.

Hilarious! I could write a thesis about alleged "devil worship" but I won't. Suffice to say that Brighton is very far from being some sort of Satanic Centre of the Universe. The main beach is cruddy but most of that it down to day trippers. Locals avoid it!

Pandemoniaa · 27/07/2012 14:26

I think one of the best quotes about Brighton was made by Keith Waterhouse who said that "Brighton looks like a town that is helping the police with their enquiries".

For all that, I'm very partial to the place although it really doesn't need any more DFLs.

MaryHansack · 27/07/2012 14:38

ahh the DFLs, isn't that a Lewesian thing? Now there's a place for devil worshippers!
