Pride 2011

[Herr Tubthumper]

Ladies and Gentlemen, it's that time of year again. And this year they have moved for us which was rather nice of them.

So, will you be going? Or will the lure of the sailors further down the coast be too much?

[Frutos]

Shall we just bounce last year's thread and save ourselves the bother of having the same binfest all over again?

 

[Eric Potts]

Surely , the more binfests , the better ?

 

[Notters]

I don't think many will be going to the park at £13 or whatever it is. I'll pop along to St James Street in the evening but doubt it will be as busy as normal.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i'll go along to st james street in the evening

 

[Westdene Seagull]

I've been before and enjoyed it but I'll be buggered ( if that isn't an inappropriate phrase ! ) if I'm paying to enter a park whose upkeep is paid for by my council tax. It will either be Pompey or the allotment for the day and the current financial outlook suggests I'll be weeding !

 

[MattBackHome]

I really hope the rain stays off for once.

 

[csider]

No chance.....Seeing as I now reside in Barcelona. Think they should have to pay for it.............

See if the same number attend, very much doubt it.

This type of event is galling me more and more tbh. Wherever you look in Btn/Hove throughout the year, organisations decend and put up barriers in public spaces, and then start charging for entrance to THEIR attraction. Without wishing to be accused of nimbyism and in full knowledge that tourism and being the collective toilet our lovely city descends into being for the benefit of out-of-town stag/hen do's is probably our only 'industry' now, it royally gets up my chicken

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Thank god they are charging for the party in the park bit. Will keep the pissed/drugged up kids away as cant see them shelling out £13 or whatever it is. Monies raised will Im sure contribute to the clean up after as well.

Me? Im off to Portsmouth.

pride? in being promiscuous and taking lots of hard drugs and leaving a mess.......maybe should change the name to "ashamed."

not that i am homophobic at all, just seeing this "event" as it is.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I'm not looking forward to it. Simply because I work in Preston Park and will have to deal with the consequences of the party. If the weather is nice, I think there will be quite a lot of people in my part of the park during the evening. I'd rather not have the finest park in Brighton turned into a shit heap. It is hard enough to keep control with drunken chavs smashing bottles, packets of lube and used condoms floating about as it is.
