Blackleaf

In a poll conducted all across Britain, 3000 men under 30 were asked which cities had the most beautiful, and ugliest, women.

Scotland didn't fare well. Glasgow was voted as having the ugliest women. And, unlike England AND Wales, Scotland has MORE cities in the Bottom 10 than in the Top 10. Two Scottish cities make up the Bottom 10 (some feat considering Scotland's small population) as Aberdeen is in there with Glasgow, whereas only one Scottish city makes it into the Top 10 - Edinburgh at number 3.

England has 8 cities in the Top 10 and 8 in the Bottom 10 and Wales has 1 city in the top 10 (Cardiff) and none in the bottom 10.

Newcastle girls were voted Britain's sexiest, and London girls are in second place.

Angels of the North crowned

Geordie lass: Cheryl Cole

Glasgow lass: Michelle McManus

GEORDIE lasses were officially crowned Britain’s sexiest girls yesterday.

Glasgow ladies were voted the UGLIEST – closely followed by those from Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester.

Newcastle, the home town of beauties like Girls Aloud’s Cheryl Cole and model Donna Air, topped the nationwide poll of 3,000 blokes under 30. London ladies came second.

The controversial findings will be a blow to Glaswegians like Pop Idol star Michelle McManus.

But another Scottish city – Edinburgh – was labelled the third sexiest, followed by Bristol, Nottingham, Leeds and Oxford.

John Sewell, of www.onepoll.com which conducted the survey, said: “Single men will be flocking to Newcastle now.

“Both Oxford and Cambridge are in the good-looking list too – it proves beauty and brains can go hand in hand.

“But I’m surprised to see Glasgow winning the ugliest city when gorgeous celebrities like TV’s Jenni Falconer and actress Kelly Macdonald come from there.”

Last night Glaswegians branded the survey as nonsense.

Dr David Mansouri, 25, said: “Glasgow girls are gorgeous – with great personalities.”

TOP 10
1) Newcastle
2) London
3) Edinburgh
4) Bristol
5) Nottingham
6) Leeds
7) Oxford
8 ) Cardiff

3) Liverpool
4) Sheffield
5) Manchester
6) Leicester
7) Aberdeen
8 ) Plymouth
9) Coventry
10) Southampton

Ugly and Sexy is merely an opinion which has been made to look like fact by the tabloids and magazines. I doubt that the list bears any real importance to my life, not only because this is utter silliness, but because there are plenty of people in Glasgow I would not describe as "Ugly" (I'd avoid that word in most circumstances actually).

Also it's a poll that asked people what City thought had the most beautiful and ugly women. You can't just generalise like that. Grr, I feel sorry for any people that take this as truth.

This "Blackleaf" troll is an idiot who is only on this forum to be nasty. I for one vote him to be thrown out and barred if this rubbish is all he can come up with.

Besides, he lies as do his stats.

Glasgow aside (which I concede does indeed have some mingers) ... Scotland's girls and women (and men Macnumpts) ... are as pretty as those anywhere else. They are not in a competition. Nor do they need to be.

Get thee gone, Blackleaf ... and stop upsetting my people!

Backlleaf posts stories about English football in the 'football' section that nobody replies to as most folk are not interested in the English football.

Glasgow girls are ace (majority of them anyways) friendly, chatting and welcoming, being a baby of Ninewells Hospital, Dundee - just delighted that my 'city' wasn't in that worst 10 list

As for Newcastle, I met a great lass there but she was from Croatia, Smile

Glasgow girls think that sex protection means having it away in a bus shelter when it's raining! Rolling Eyes

As England is seen as Britain, the poll was probably taken mostly south of the border anyway. Hence no surprise at the result.

You got that right, Mairead! Very Happy

The other night, some Yank on teevee said he just loves "coming to England. It's a wonderful country!"

Twonk!! Evil or Very Mad

carol · Posted: Thu Apr 24, 2008 6:17 am Post subject:

I like the word twonk, I'll need to encourage it into my 11 year old's vocabulary, when he's in a strop he keeps telling everyone they're gay!!

BA what's your definition of twonk?

Blackadder · 'Our Scotland' Fossil Joined: 28 Jul 2006 Posts: 4093

Your 11 yr old is just doing what most kids do nowadays, Carol. My nephews and neice do it too. If you even look at them the wrong way, you're "gay". I get my own back by calling them "Emos" ... they don't like that. Google EMO to find out.

Twonk ... a cross between a twerp and a wonky idea that doesn't work. It's someone who's normally okay ... but has just said, written or done something xtremely stupid.

Like me for missing the "e" in "extremely" right now! Laughing

yep Emo is another word he uses, and no I'm not familiar with it.

I'm a bit slow at times, brain doesn't always fully function .......... true story and one I'll never live down.

out strolling at the caravan site last week and noticed loads of droppings on the path, my partner sez oh they're rabbit ones, walks further along and the droppings are getting bigger, me sez 'they must be big rabbits' he sez 'they're sheep youi idiot' and was poorless laughing Embarassed

yep I'm easily wound up Rolling Eyes

Emo = emotionally charged or retarded.

Some pointers about emo fashions (above simple, universal hardcore attire)

*The Emo Romulan look - short, thick, greasy, dyed-black hair with bangs cut straight across the forehead, down one side of the face covering one eye, and cut high over the ears. Someone from Time In Malta recently described to me the San Diego Crimson Curse scene as "Spock Rock."
Actually, any greasy dyed black hair. Bangs in front and spikes in back is very emo too.
Horn-rim glasses, or at least thick black frames.
Bald head, furry face (boys only). Goes especially well with horn-rims.
Heavy slacks, often too tight and short.
Thin, too-small polyester button-ups in dark colors, or threadbare children's size t-shirts with random slogans. Button the collar if you got one.
Clunky black shoes
Scarves (in all weathers)
Gas station jackets. This has diffused a lot over the years though, it's no longer exclusive to emo kids. Nowadays, you may want to select a nice corduroy denim jacket.
Also classic outerwear but quickly diffusing to normality: the famous Blue Peacoat
barrettes on boys
Make-up (male or female)
Too-small cardigans and v-neck sweaters
Argyle patterns
Anorexic thinness. Veganism helps here.
Emos admit to bisexuality.

Also ...

An entire subculture of people (usually angsty teens) with a fake personality. The concept of Emo is actually a vicious cycle that never ends, to the utter failing of humanity, and it goes something like this:

1. Girls say they like "sensitive guys" (lie)
2. Guy finds out, so he listens to faggy emo music and dresses like a dork so chicks will see that he is sensitive and not afraid to express himself (lie). He dyes his hair black, wraps himself in a stupid looking scarf, develops an eating disorder, and rants about how "nobody understands".
3. Now an emo guy, he meets Emo chick and they start dating, talking about how their well-off suburban lifestyles are terrible and depressing (lie)
4. Emo guy is just too much of a pussy. His penis is too small, he's too depressed to bathe, and has more mood swings than emo chick, and he doesn't even have a menstrual cycle. Emo chick dumps him, saying "It's not you, it's me." (lie) as she drives off with Wayne, the school jock and captain of the football team.
5. Emo guy goes home and cries, proceeds to write a weak song and strum a single string on his acoustic guitar. Another emo chick sees how he is so in touch with his feelings, and the cycle continues. Emo guy commits suicide.
6. This is the sad truth of the emo lifestyle/music, and now that you see how pathetic it really is, maybe the emos DO have something to cry about!

Hope that helps, Carol. Never say you've never seen Lord Blackadder's caring side!

maybe they should stick their heads in the sand Very Happy

thanks for the definition of an Emo BA, now I'm a little bit wiser Wink

PS were you ever a Teddy Boy Wink

My DAD was the Teddy Boy (apparently). WAY before my time!

so you could've been one with a quiff in your hair wearing diapers Razz

was it a DA they called it Wink

Blackadder · 'Our Scotland' Fossil Joined: 28 Jul 2006 Posts: 4093

Happily ... I never wore diapers. I had nappies!

I have no idea about hairstyles in my extreme yout. My hair was more of a birds nest until the inevitable and horrible crew-cut for school purposes.

carol · Posted: Fri Apr 25, 2008 7:35 am Post subject:

crew cut and baggy shorts Wink

did you have freckles?

Blackadder · 'Our Scotland' Fossil Joined: 28 Jul 2006 Posts: 4093

No baggy shorts. I had tailor-made clothing of course. And no ... I was never disposed to freckles. The Blackadder complexion has always been and still is ... flawless and matchless in its perfection. Very Happy
