The Stuff We Can't Fit In Somewhere Else
  • Don't know if this is the right place for moaning. I just didn't see a "contac us" link, so I might as well post my opinion here. OK, I get your point that this is just for a laugh, but I didn't really have a laugh when I noticed your comment about my home country, Iran, in your Loughborough page. First of all, there is a big community of the Iranians in Loughborough and, although I am not their representative, I am sure that they won't appreciate the prejudged comment made by your user about beheadings in Iran. For their information, the name of the country that these beheadings happen in, ends with a "Q" not an "N". So, the comment is basically a false one. I wouldn't even suggest using Iraq's name for my pal's laugh. Nothing amusing in other people's misery. I hope that makes sense. Regards, Masoud
  • New community site/search engine for loughborough only! www.inLoughborough.com and join the forum. And check out loser's club
  • Obviously no one in Loughborough has any command of the English language or the ability to spell, judging by the previous postings!!
  • well what can we say!!!! apparently loughborugh is a shit hole that we wouldnt enter unless we were dropped from a plane!!! it still is, HOWEVER the most recognised sports institute in the WORLD so, for the idiot that wrote this must have been so lucky to have gone to the very select few "better" uni's selected by the TIMES (2006)(which is only 4 by the way). loughborugh is world famous for its achievements for sport, engineering and more ++++!!!!! if it was only famous for the idiots that got D in their GCSE's in english in talking BULLS**T but hey, if a career in talking nonsense is acceptable by you and your parents then hey, i'm glad they bought you a spelling book and a computer for your 14th birthday last year. its always evident when the small people have something to say!!!! cos its only themselves that wanna listen. loughborugh never did claim to be the best, but coming from a man that clearly writes for the SHEPSHED blind dyslexic chav community then i guess he gets an A* simply for spelling. much love with a cpitol SPASTIC - JRH PT JB JH AW RH JS SC MK AH JK JU NB DR and MORE

  • Lboro is fine, its small but i line that, id move back 2mos if my bfr let me, i work there still, my family live there and some of my best mates, oh and a few enemies. but still i think its got everything u need, apart from sumthing to entertain kids, and a lack of good kids and womens clothes shops! notts close by and leics tho easy to get to.
  • Don't know which category I should put this piece of information is, so I think I will enter it here. Walked past Baxter Gate, Loughborough a few days ago, and to my delight I found a newly open "oriental food shop" selling oriental food and cooking ingredients. My friends and I think it's a great little shop selling interesting stuff, from now on we don't have to travel all the way to Leicester/Nottingham to get what we want. Thought I share this info with all oriental food lovers outthere. Thanks.
  • sort SHEPSHED OUT PLEASE THERE DYING OF DRUGS AND ALCHOL BORIN FUCKS
  • Loughborough is apprently world-renowned in ringing circles for the casting and manufacture of Church bells. Taylor's bell foundry is based in the town and has been making bells of all shapes and sizes for hundreds of years. It's now one of only two such places in the entire country. You can visit too and watch the bells being made. Interesting stuff if you're a bit of a campanologist.
  • Loughborough needs a serious makeover, we're losing serios money to nearby Nottingham and Leicester because of a lack of appealing nightlife for students and young people. Someone do something!
  • favourete beauty spot....beacon hill bradgate park...back of pulse on a friday....
  • i heard that at the grammar school the boys 'experiment' lol, i was well shocked cos i thought it would be more lesbian action that happens at single sex schools, apparently not :S
  • they should seperate the town with big walls to seperate the townies from the rest of us, yes i hate townies but isnt that just normal?
  • Some good local Radio Stations to listen to are Campus Fm for students. They have a good varity. Their most popular show i think is the "alternitive alternitive show". Oak fm is good as well.
  • Loughborough is the epitamy of societys decline into a deep hole full of shit, and the police station is too big for the area so theres too much babylon lurking
  • helo 2 allll ov southfields!!! we love uuuuuu!!!! c u sat lol xx
  • My advice to anyone thinking of visiting Loughborough is DONT. Its not a nice place!!! Oh and going into Shelthorpe means taking your life into your own hands. You have been warned!!!
  • In short aside the uni and the lady students (usually wit very nice chests) there really is nothing else
  • the bad areas in Loughborough are Shelthorpe, keats way and sharpley. all the skag heads are mostly up there but BE AWARE THEY ARE SPREADING!!!!!!!!!!1
  • if u students hate loughborough so much then stay at the union, or go home at the weekend. Just stop moaning about loughborough.
  • Best stall on Loughborough market is Marriotts shoes. good quality shoes, fairly cheap. opposite Boots
  • In reply to the person who commented about Mr Singh, Garendon High School. To the best of my knowledge he is still working there. If you can call it working!
  • Burliegh Community College sucks hairy ass.It is completely gay and full of little dickheads who think they are cool,but in fact are wankers.The best place to go 4 a fag iz the benches by the tennis courts or behind the kitchens.The worst place to chill is by the pond as all the geeks go there.The principal is a faget ginger bumboy,and Frankie No-neck is a twat,sum1 please shoot him asap.
  • LHS is nice
  • to have a good time in loughborough, you have to get absolutely rip roaringly drunk, treading the fine line between conscience, being sick, and incoherent to members of the opposite sex, and becoming incredibly bored at the dire music and lack of money to spend on drinks. If you can hit that line (and lets face it its not easy) then you can have an ok time in Loughborough. Plus it helps to have people around you who feel the same way and are at the same level.
  • "I went to LHS [Loughborough High School] and I'm not easy so whover said that should get thei facys straight!" - Good to see that the High School have taught the art of spelling to such a high level, eh?
  • Loughborough High school girls are not easy and they are capable of finding their own boyfriends. Everbody looks down on them but they are just the same as anyone. Grow up. I went to LHS and I'm not easy so whover said that should get thei facys straight!
  • Burleigh College- load of shit teachers but a few good ones. Shit ones include...Mrs. Hyman-Hell bent on keeping you in after the bell...learn french or die! She has a really greasy face and she looks like a rat-she's pregnant at the moment but not married so we can oficially call it a bastard! mr Todd- he has a massive forehead- "the alien forehead", he cant control a class at all! Mrs smith- "oh-no" if you've ever had her you'll know what i mean.
  • The Loughborough Echo is a winsome weekly publication, whose morality is firmly rooted in smalltown nineteen fifties suburbia. Fortunately, light relief is found on the Letters page, where missives from popular local clergyman Reverend Leslie Robinson attacking gays/straights/blacks/whites/single mothers/the working class/young people never fail to reach new levels of blinkered, reactionary Thatcherite prejudice. Also of note are: Shepshed Scene (like we care!); Echo Newshounds (for the kids); Leisure (at the Curzon this week..., local blues band at pub); and the Weekly Crime Count (going up and up every issue). Only 35p from your local GT News.
  • ok. I thought your web page was fairly good but i just wanted to tall you that I'm hoping to come to Loughborough University in september, i'm a girl and i'm not fat or ugly! Anyway you boys may hate the fact that theres not many lasses but thats one of the main reasons I chose the place! Also I wanted to ask you what is the best self catering accomadation at the uni cos I've just been sent a form and have no idea what to choose. Thanks loads Kali Anna watson
  • THE TOWN WITH THE DAFTEST STATUES CATEGORY. THE INFAMOUSE SOCK MAN STATUE. SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT THE TOWNS PAST?THE FLEEING ANOREXITS WITH THE RUNS OUTSIDE THE UNIVERSITY GATES.
  • Best is Burleigh School. Worst is Stonebow school.
  • Best? Subculture indie/alternative music society at the Union - the only place where you can bet on the people not being greasy engineers, jocks or rugby lads, or fans of the Cranberries.
  • Without a doubt, the best thing about Loughborough is the Student Rag. In 1994 we raised £204,871.88, an English record. We're great and sexy so put us in.
  • Best: University is great. Good campus university all-round. Worst: University hall food!
  • Best place for gay sex is the Loughborough students Union, on a Friday night especially. They're all after a nice bit of batty, the toilets are comfortable, and they sell gay safe condoms. Best girl in the university is Kat Myers, she is a well good babe. Everyone should vote for her to be Union Vice President. She is from Blackpool. Not much drugs in Loughborough, not on the university campus. Best pub IS the Blacksmiths Arms, sells Charles Wells Bombadier.
  • Re: the best place for gay sex in Loughborough.
    1. Any self-respecting fag wouldn't be seen dead at the FND (Friday night at the Union) unless they were being ironic, or wanted to have a laugh at the strayt boyz' bad hair, bad clothes and bad dancing.
    2. The toilets by the roundabout where Forest Road meets Epinal Way is a much more likely venue, or the ones in Queen's Park, especially just after Rickencampers (one-night a week (Tuesday) gay venue at Rickenbackers bar) has closed.
  • Actually the best school is Loughborough High. There you will discover lots of sex-starved girls who are not able to get satisfaction from the Grammar School boys. You'll find they hang out in the Three Nuns.
  • Loughborough should see the opening of its first Cyber Caf in summer 96. Decent food will be served and an alcohol license is in the pipeline. Internet access will be via ISDN provided by a new local provider. We will be looking for part time kitchen staff and so anyone intersted or anyone that wants more information should E-Mail me at lcs@easynet.co.uk
  • If you are a straight male and are considering coming to Loughborough University, my advice is DON'T!!!! The ratio of male to female is more than 3 to 1, and most of the girls that are here are either fat, ugly or both!! I suggest you go to Nottingham University, which is nearby and has a completely opposite ratio, ie lots of attractive girls!!!
  • Everything you sad about the teenie boppers is true, and the purple trackies are just gorgeous: every Lough resident knows when to cross the street!
