Southend.. is a ..diverse place.
There are some places and parts that are really nice.
And there are some places that are dubious.
But either way there's always things to do every night and plenty of people to meet.
So I shall miss it.
But only a.bit.
Good places to go are Mayhem..
The Royal..
The Sunrooms,
Maybe the Alex..
Give Talk a wide berth if you don't like drunk chavs, skimpily dressed skinny blondes and the everpresent smell of sweat.

p.s. ive swam in the 'sea'. thats how i spent half my summer lol, its fine added 28 / 04 / 08 10:12

I'll miss Southend. Everything in other comments is true. Blind Owl Man is just... Owl Man(watch out for his roaming hands..) and Penny Picker Pete/Steve is very amusing. Watch out for his mega Duct-tape bucket!
Southend's great though, and I'll still miss it loads. added 05 / 03 / 08 10:32
