Scouse like Brum is lazy in that it drops it's Hs but it's lazier still because it shortens everything into a slang form that's only understood by those that live with it every day. A Brummie would say ospical, non Brummies would still understand this with a little thought, scouse just continues to shorten words over time until it becomes impenetrable to the outsider. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it happens I like the scouse accent. It’s pretty unique tbf, although you could say that about most accents, but it really does seem more unique than others.

Of all the unique accents, it's probably one of the top two or three uniquest ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Buckcherry, Hoobastank and Adelitas Way last night at the O2 Institute. Very good indeed, and at £25 a ticket great value. They make up for that by forcing me to buy the wife numerous double gins though...and the "4 jagerbombs for £10" also were forced on me, numerous times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted February 11, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted February 11, 2019 Went to my first gig in years last weekend and also took my kids to their first ever gig. Was The Kaiser Cheifs at O2 Academy in Brum. The band were pretty good, played all the crowd pleasers. The venue was fairly awful though. My youth was spent watching bands at The Odeon in New Street which always generated a great atmosphere with good views all round (I had quite an obstructed view at O2 Academy. I think the last gig I went to was The Wonder Stuff supported by Jesus Jones at Wolverhampton Civic Hall in about 2000. Hope to do more now.

The Odeon and the desire to get past the security, preventing people from going into the front stalls unless they had a ticket. I remember the last Specials gig at the Odeon, I started on row WW or something (last but one?) and ended up on the stage during the encore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a big fan, but they're just one of those bands I feel like I should have seen at least once. Pretty excited for Parkway Drive and Anthrax on the Saturday though. Evil scarecrow are always a laugh too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
