In one weeks time I will be working my last shift at my current job, you could say I am pretty damn excited at this prospect. Not sure if I am going to tell my TM today or tomorrow, some people at my work have suggested that I only need to tell them 2 days before I leave but I think I'll try to be good about it.
Anyway here are some things I have learnt about the general public's behaviour in the CBD at around midnight when I finish work:
1. People get way too drunk for their own good and like to take street sign/building site material as souvenirs of their night out to the train station with them, but promptly drop them on the train platforms when the train comes, I don't think some people realise that they are pretty much on CCTV a block out in most directions from the train station.
2. Many Emo/Goth kids walk around in packs are wear the same thing. Same goes for ravers these days. Except it seems that no one seems to care anymore about giving alt lifestyle people are razzing as they walk by, guess people became more tolerant all of a sudden!
3. Emo kids are the worse behaved bunch of people on the way home on trains, they drink openly, eat fast food and drop it everywhere, make out drunkenly and revoltingly 30 cm away from other passengers and basically dry hump each other on the carriage floor. They also go on and on about utter crap which I can't even begin to understand.
4. So many freaks and weirdos travel on the late trains during weekdays however you never see them on the train on the weekends? Where do they all go? Do they have like 3 days off or something?
5. People will urinate ANYWHERE in the CBD, I saw one guy the other night get out of a cab on the corner of King St and Flinders Lane and just unzip and let 2 litres of piss out all over the side of the building, this was at 6pm in the daylight on a Saturday people . This isn't a one off thing I see either, every Friday and Saturday night on my way to the train station 90% of the time I will see at least one person urinating on the street. Considering that it only takes me 5 or so minutes to get to the train station that is pretty shocking. Now when I walk home and see something watery on the footpath, I make sure I don't step in it.

What are Emo kids? I think I know the ones you refer to. I don't think it's as bad here on the tube, because late at night theres always heaps of people on it, so the kids are just somewhere else being losers.
You heard of themixingbowl.org? Took me a while to get an account (certain number of accounts at any one time), but it's awesome. Assloads of mixes by big/small name DJs of various genres. Lots of BBC Radio 1 essential mixes. And all downloaded via btorrent. :)
Other than the big names ie MOS (overrated I heard) and Fabric, know any good clubs here in London? I gotta get out there and see what the hype is about :P
Yeah I got a themixbowl account when it first started, i was really excited at the time because I thought it would provide me with some good musical loot however it was a bit slow back then! (This was before bit torrent took off) I should check it out now and see how it is.
As for clubs in London, well I'm not sure, I think Fabric would be fun to go to on certain nights. Go and check out a few big places they'll be an experience at the very least!
Hope you are having fun over there you should drop Paula a line, she is living in London last I heard!
Fabric would be awesome - Scratch Perverts!
Lineup on Jan 5th is awesome!
