Nottingham
Look, I'm sorry but if Leicester can have it's own bloody thread in the Pub, then I'm damn sure Nottingham should have one....I'm moving back there soon....from what i here there's a thriving live music scene, lots of culture, lots of good bars and clubs....though I'm going to conveniently not going to discuss The Meadows, St Anns, or Bullwell.
I've just got a place sorted in Radcliffe on Trent...nearish West Bridgford...

Re: Nottingham
Contrary to popular belief, Sherwood Forest is not in Nottingham, but some 20 miles north past the village of Ollerton where the Sherwood Forest Visitors center is, and where the Major Oak is still desparately propped up. I am not sure about Wifi access, but if you can get Internet in accessable temples in Phattalung, I'm sure they can manage it in Notts.
Nottingham does still have a Sherrif, but it's a largely ceremonial role....and was an Indian bloke a couple of years ago....there is tons of cashing in on the Robin Hood Legend, including a statue, and an "Experience" center...(animatronics ride, and exhibitions etc). There's a fairly impressive castle/museum on a hill in the center, but it's 18th century.
There are also two 13th century pubs next door to each other that both claim to be the worlds oldest.
There is some urban legend that girls outnumber boys 4:1, but it's most likely bollocks.

Nottingham has a reputation for the woman outnumbering the men 3:1

Yep true, I used to go to school there! No worries about gangs round that area.
Go on you tricky trees! |

Yes, 'Ye Olde trip to Jerusalem' is one of them, below the Castle - a mighty fine old watering-hole too!!

Re: Nottingham
My Thai ex went to Nottinum for a weekend with some girly friends and said there were too many black people there

Re: Nottingham
Make sure you call in my best friend's Thai restaurant the "Tarn Thai" opposite the theatre.
It is the best in the country!
Tell them I sent you and you will get a discount hehe.
PM me and I will send you some pictures via email.

Re: Nottingham
Rock City on Talbot Rd/St.
Tuesday nights for live bands like the Ramones, the Cult and PiL.
Saturday nights for the punk disco night.
Brilliant times, wonderful memories.
Getting there and back on the coach was also total anarchy.
