Manchester!!!

Chorlton? I spend a bit of time there, often kipping on my mate Youth's couch.

Note: My mate is not really called Youth, it's just my occasonal nickname for him. Recording engineer and that.
 
whut Manc accent's this?

I heart Rudy's character tons in misfits (watch the whole clip, it's a comp of his best bits and he gets some killer lines .. also, dl the series, cause it's camp n v funny)

I've liked the actor for ages, and his accent is lush. very doable guy

Its definately not central Manchester. I think it might be Rochdale. Sounds simillar to Andy Kershaw, one of the most famous people from Rochdale that i know of. But it also sounds simillar to a guy i know who comes from Wigan.
 
^ that's what I always think :)

Shall be visiting soon, keep putting it off for various reasons but got a sister, her lovely boyfriend and a couple of certain EADDers I really want to see so it will happen soon :)

As an aside, my sister much prefers Bristol to Manc :D

Some nice painting round Manchester, Salford. North Manchester myself. Manc tune? Can't seem to do a link off my phone, Chameleons, Swamp thing. Fabulous.

If you visited one of their dreary, godforsaken, wretched mill-town up in "t'hills" you'd understand.

There is no taste around there. Nor any hope. Just brass band contests and Whit Walks to look forward to, antisocial behaviour from bunches of kids who can only see civilisation by going to the top of the nearest moor, and maybe a beating from an overweight, fortysomething biker at the Saturday rock night at the Horse & Fuckwit.

It's a sense of despair I sometimes like to take in like a tourist on short train journeys out there when the weather's good. Worthwhile for having a good smirk and getting regarded with pronounced suspicion in the local pubs.

Coming from a dreary, godforsaken wretched mill town up int t'hills, I gotta admit it's every bit as depressing as you make out, with the pill slightly sugar coated by quality bitters (Joseph Holt has never hit home with me), nice countryside, and the knowledge that you can always get laid at the local wife swap!

Cheers fella we like to get a bit busy after dark! Manc tune: Broke 'n' English - Manchester Shit

"I'm on my Manchester shit, black trackie top and some blacked out kicks. Jump the metrolink on my manchester tip and they give me extra gravy on my manchester chips." Cracking stuff!

Nah, it's usually decided by the old pick a house key out of the flatcap. You win some, you lose some, but at least your getting your nads away!

See? True philistines up there. ;)

There are indeed some decent bitters made in t'hills though, and you're right about the countryside. I actually lived on the fringes of t'hills (as well as in Stockport for a while) till I was about eleven, but I keep it quiet.

The wife swap thing has made me more determined to get on a train one weekend.
 
This is my favourite Manc accent - david thewlis as johnny the Manc 'street philosopher' in mike leigh's film 'Naked' - this accent sounds fuckin hard - david thewlis isnt even from Manchester either. King of the accent actors. Fuckin brilliant film for anyone who hasnt seen it.

There's also another working class genius philospher in the film; the security guard. The exchanges between these two are awesome. How naive i was before i moved to Manchester, thinking it was going to be full of working class geniuses. The reality is that intelligence and education, or any attempt at old fashioned self-betterment, like reading books or watching BBC2, seem to be despised by many working class Mancs.

Give us your wallet, fuckin' student. ;)

It's the same in any deprived area in Britain, or indeed the industrialised world. It's not a northern thing, it's just a sad fact of life.

Try growing up in a shithole and it's hard not to get beaten down by it eventually, even if you aspire to more. There are plenty of people quite ready to kick the shit out of you if you're in any way 'different', and unfortunately having read a few books and not keeping it on the quiet is enough to get you marked out as such. Never mind dress code. Then you throw the rampant inequalities in the education system into the mix, and well... there's another thread entirely in there, so I'll stop.

Ice T (bizarrely enough) actually put it brilliantly in the Ice Opinion. Though he was talking about racism, ghettos and the lack of aspiration among young black people growing up in them. Which, with the widespread use of vile words such as 'chav', we're almost verging on in terms of socio-economic cohesion and the way people are treated / perceived in this country. Scary, ain't it?

Some of these kids are barely able to conceive of a world outside their own ghettos. Some of them are almost oblivious to the fact that they live in a big city, even - they literally can't see further than the boundaries of their own district. It's fucking tragic.

I do suggest you get about the city more though, as I can assure you there are plenty of working class folk who don't despise education, books or BBC2. Hell, we even pushed the boat out and listened to Radio Four in my house.

Maybe you don't identify those people as working class though?

I can remember a mate from school being in my house one time & genuinely asking in a proper puzzled tone of voice "What have you got books for?" when he noticed a shelf of them in my room. He couldn't grasp the fact that I read them because I liked them & not because someone forced me to lol.
