Is Brighton Britain's Hippest City

[The Large One]

Coldean is just like Moulsecoomb, Whitehawk,the Knoll and Hangleton as it is a residential suburb of Brighton and Hove.

Quite. Coldean is like the area west of Preston Park Station.

Frightful dive of a "city" populated by oiks who can't afford Lewes.

You're wrong on all counts, you know f***-all about him, you may think you do, but let me assure you that you dont.

Leave The Spanish alone!

Too many beardy sandal wearers in Lewes - and I'm not too keen on the blokes either.

arrest that photographer! i thought tombsoning (diving from pier, groynes etc) was illegal?

that pic looks set up, so i conclude your honour, that the pap encouraged illegal activities, and should be shipped off to guantanano bay immediately..

Having not visited the city for anything other than football over the last few years, I was shocked to see just how pretentious the area round North Laine has become. Full of 'ironic' second-rate illustration students and third-rate electro-pop-star wannabes. I guess it's the same in most cities, but it felt awfully like Shoreditch.

Is Brighton Britain's hippest city?

No it's not. I used to love Brighton about 15 years ago. It was much more bohemian much more friendly. I don't even bother to go out in Brighton on a saterday night anymore as there is f*** all good places to go.

Also where did all the woman go?

I can't think of one good club in Brighton

Saying that I still like Brighton and would not really want to move else where but I definitely its going down hill fast.

I think you may have answered the point yourself.

You liked it 15 years ago. Now you're 15 years older, the clubs don't appeal...

As for the women (the real ones), there's plenty of honeys and 'yummy-mummies' about. Everywhere.

i was born in Brighton.

I am NOT a Veggie, nor am I gay...

though I do have some Jedi tendencies. just at weekends..

I DON'T have some 'trendy' PR job, and i DON'T drive some tree hugging vehicle..

I DO ride a bike, cos the bus fares are too damn pricey.

I've NEVER been in a Starbucks (other similar, overpriced coffee bars are available..)

But I have been to the market Diner. and the nudie beach- to have a look, like everyone else does (dont lie!)

So, do I stiill qualify for Brighton-ite status?

Lots of yummy mummies looking after their nippers in that beach side play area next to Al Frescos.

Sir, that's the sort of wild talk that results in a good BURNING.

Dont see what the big fuss. We all enjoy different things and I loved my time in Brighton but since have loved living in London and now am happy back in T Wells.

Its a personal life-style that carries on through whatever transformations a town or city goes through. I like eating certain things, i love real ale, red wine, good company and financial stability (although thats a bit tricky at the moment)!

If all those things with the people that matter to me were available on the moon then i'd probably be happy there.

Without being rude I do feel sometimes that people who bang on about how beatiful , amazing, trendy and diverse their town or city is, do come across as pretentious attention-seekers who actually seem to be shouting at the top of their voices:

'Look at me everyone, I live in a nice house and have some money - even though I have a tiny penis I am important and successful!! Look at me!!'

Ironically it strikes me that the people who claim with predicatable regularity how non-conformist they are and the area they live in are actually the most run-of-the-mill dullards on the planet.
