  • we used to sit in the park, where the nugens now drink the cheapest alcohol they can find and litter the place. when we were there it was the best park ever-football, games, a few social bottles of wine when the 'big' kids were there. It was great times, specially in the summer
  • men and women ready to meet up for friendship, love or SEX in your area www.ukflirt.vze.com

  • Southampton wouldnt be too bad a place if it wasnt for some spotty body odour ridden long haired freaks on their skateboards and bloody roller skates getting in everybodys way all the freakin time, how u lot like it if i came and started doing "cool tricks" in my car on your bloody front gardens!!!! Ass Holes!! and i BET this dont get added to the site either!
  • The bridge above the train lines in freemantle
  • Was always the walls outside HMV before it got demolished, sharing coffee with the big issue vendors and singing along to the busker who always seemed to be playing "Breakfast at Tiffany's". The lovelyest busker ever! Aug 05

  • The bargate centre, outside the milkshake bar
  • The common across the road from the Eagle pub watching all the girls walking by in bikinis in the summer.
  • mayflower park...mighty fine skaters...mmmm
  • all those punkass kids loiter outside the bargat now, or in the corner by the canteen at college
  • ther are about 5 parks wher people hang out the 1-looser park (behind primark)- not used so often now due to trouble with townies, 2- the quickburn park(behind previous park)where some ppl got to have a quick burn. 3-the CANER park(inclusive of caner benches) where everyone goes to have a session with there friends. 4-the pretty or cool park (with fountain and staues) further from the looser park, past the caner park this is the most common park to find ppl in. 5- the crap park maybe crap but... excellent to skate with very low benches.
  • Behind the train station, there r benches, walls 2 ollie off, a flatbank, big set of staires, waxed up 1 foot high ledges up the staires!!!
  • AVOID THE BARGATE LIKE THE PLAUGE IT IS FULL OF GOTHS AND NU-METAL FREAKS WHO QUITE FRANKLY SHOULD GET A LIFT
  • West park by that statue was always a good place for slack-arsed townies to hang aroung and attempt to intimidate everybody. Idiots.
  • The bargate shopping centre has all the decent skate type shops (just add water, Moist, the goth shop), exceptions being Legends and Off Beat Sportz. There are just about always a bunch of gothic type girls and boys hanging around in their, not doing a lot.
  • Obviously HMV used to be the best hang out for any non townies, but now the wall has been brutally torn down, Tomba's in the Bargate is a temporary home for us punkers/skaters/goths
  • If you dont want to be inundated with strange glares from those evil 'townies' then steer VERY clear of the new shopping centre..."West Quay"...which actually isn't very good anyway.
  • Mayflower Park. Also where all the skatey dudes hang out.
  • Outside Mcdonalds on a Saturday afternoon, townies left, right & centre!
  • Sorry to have to tell you that the wall outside of H.M.V. is now a building site................
  • Ocean Village on a sunny day.
  • Mayflower Park for skaters and people who like ice cream.
  • Outside HMV - all day, everyday
  • Definitely the Common...anywhere along the main path really...especially at night in the summer
