Derby, UK (doing my placement year for my Uni course)

(op - my brothers at uclan, 1st year, architecture i think)
Well, after stalking the entire thread, it seems you two are the closest to where I live (Nottingham). It's strange, because last time there was a thread like this there were two people about 20 minutes from me.

Meh, not bad I guess, thank you =). It's pretty expensive here though (housing wise) so me and the missus are probably gonna be moving back to Peterborough.
You don't want to do that, it's a hole. Though as it happens it's my hole. When I'm not being a student, anyway.
What a coincidence! That happens to be roughly where I go to school. I wonder if we've met before...

EDIT: I just did a profile/location search for Nottingham and the only username I recognise is Daystar Clarion.
Well thanks for doing the legwork dude :)
I'm at the uni too so it's weird to think me and albear could well have passed one another several times already.
ahh lack of information on my part there, i dont go to Derby University, i go to Staffrdshire University, im just living in Derby to do my Work Placement year :)

but yea easily could have walked passed you in town, small world :D

I live near Blackpool, which is only 14 miles away, or 25 minutes by train.
never been to blackpool..closest i got was saint anne on the sea..creepy name..creepy place..so how is blackpool?anything interesting to do there?
I'm probably not the best person to ask, since I don't really like it here and I'm moving down to Cornwall later this year.

I suppose it's subjecting though. I grew up here and "cut my teeth" going out, so I always found plenty of stuff to do as a teenager, though mostly revolving around drugs and drinking and getting up to mischief with a small group of friends.

The town itself is probably more interesting for visitors than residents. It's an OK place to visit but not a nice place to live, since it's pretty scummy and debauchery gets pretty boring after a few years.

Since I've moved back here 4 years ago (after living in Canterbury for about 7 years), I hardly "go out" at all, instead I just keep to myself in my quite village, which is a few miles away from the town.

Nowadays I probably see less of Blackpool than some Scottish tourists.
growing up sucks huh?you know what i might check blackpool out..nothing can be worse than here..thanks for the insight..

Blackpools gone down the shitters as of late, although they are redoing the centre, its alright for a night out as long as you watch out for the hordes of skinheads...
whats up with the skinheads?what they want?

HOLY SHIT. I can't believe I just clicked on this post and right away saw someone who lives near me. I'm also studying at UCLan but I'm on the Burnley Campus where I live for this first year. I'll be in Preston UCLan for the next year and the year after. Hope I see you there!
probably u`ll see me soon...but preston is excruciatingly boring..i guess it depends what you want to do...
