not doing anything tonight dude, going for a pint with my bro later i think… then off to see the extended family tommororw and hopefully tap them up for some bday presents! 😉

you back then?

I got horrendeously pissed last night so cups of tea and nice grub tonight,

had only 3 hours sleep and a sandwich yesterday then about 6 pints :you_crazy and slept most of today trying to regulate my body clock back on to days

its a fucking shame the decent nightlife is non existent here (I no longer bother going out at weekends any more, its shit and not worth the risk in Ipswich, and I’ve heard Stow is even worse despite (or because?) its out in the sticks!

it seems in EA that people won’t try and rob you like London but might stab you just for disagreeing with them (or competing for the attentions of a girl) – “banter” can turn into something nasty within seconds – yet ironically if you keep your head down you’re safe – but who wants to have to be like that on a night out?

yep they are actually shooting at each other which is rare in SE Asia. Its become difficult to call my mum which means the mobile phone networks are being controlled/restricted by the communications ministries of each nation which is normal procedure in emergency situations…

I’ve got the reputation for being fairly quiet/shy at parties / in crowds but a lot of this in recent times is because I’ve noticed there are loads of lads on a short fuse what want to prove themselves – and they don’t care even if they are gonna go down for 20 years or more, they seem to think prison is worth it provided they’ve hurt their opponent enough. Worse, from researching my local history it seems they were like that even when violent criminals got hanged..

the real shame is those bad attitudes were starting to affect the rave scene by the mid 2000s.. 😥

i used to know this prick that got locked up round b4 i went to uni that used to hang around outside jokers

everyone I know has said avoid the place (or stow as a whole on weekend!)

If that place were in Ipswich it would get a closure order put on it, but maybe its better to have all the trouble in one place under CCTV then cops can ensure that people are acturally caught for it..

when I was last riding to Mudstompers I saw more police cars in the area than I normally do in Ipswich! The cops now have a Stowmarket Rapid Response team which made laught at first, then I had a look at the crime maps and realised why they were there and that they are actually needed :hopeless: (300% increase in domestic violence and violent crime in some areas, its only 70% increase in the worst parts of Ipswich!)

for me its like going back to the 1980s round here but not in a good way…

one of the worst things is that i bet if i did go down there tonight (fuck that btw!) that id recognise people that used to go down there before i left for uni and have been going there for 10+ years. pretty depressing really. :hopeless: not for me tho i find it fucking hilarious that there still going there, gotta be a pretty soul destroying routine for them though, work at the chicken factory during the week then dukes or the oak and jokers or xcels at the weekend! :yakk:

what did piss me off is the young’uns found a perfect empty building what would have made a excellent squat/info centre like they are doing in Brighton but it got smashed up instead and people busted for burglary/criminal damage…

is this the one near the station?

Could be (although I thought the station in that particular town was long gone!)

Stowmartians on this forum a couple of years back but they all disappeared as soon as zero tolerance kicked in, I wonder what happened to them?

stowmartians! :laugh_at: not heard that in ages quality! 🙂

they probably all went back to doing up there pointlessly shit cars and carried on driving round in circles round the town centre! :weee:

actual press release..

Stowmarket Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) seized another car last month after the driver received two section 59 warnings in less than 12 months.

The car was seized on Stowupland Road, Stowmarket on Saturday 24th April by PC Stefan Henriksen who was patrolling on his bicycle at the time. He says, “I received a report of careless driving and then saw the vehicle drive past me in the opposite direction. When I turned around, I was going downhill and quickly caught up with him. I pulled him over and have to say he was quite embarrassed being caught by an officer on a bike!”
