I read this post before I went out tonight and saw a gutted frog at a stand and almost bought it, but place was empty and a different stand with pork leg and rice was jam packed with people so I ate there thinking it would be good (was standard). India is basically the exact opposite of British food, full of spices and flavor. Absolutely fucking delicious. I've never seen rats in India but place is dirt f'ing poor so I'm sure they eat them. I was offered mice for breakfast in a village in Laos. That is what happens in a place with no running water or source of income. They eat what they can. Hell, guy I am staying with right now is an Indonesian who was picking up insects in the room last night, putting the lighter to them and eating them! His father also ate his three dogs while growing up. I wont eat either but Indonesian food still has more flavor than UK. No need to even try to defend Italian food

British food is too plain. Talking about "weird" foods in other places doesn't change that

you know that curry is the most popular food in the UK and balti which is a very common dish is british right?

like i said there are many cultures in the UK and the traditional UK food is not what it was and its really very diverse and is a mixture of other cultures food now

Sorry for calling you bro, mate lol...

The food from countries you mentioned are way more interesting and flavorful, especially in the case of italy and france...

So why not be helpful and advise us in general who has worse food than the UK, then we can all be sure not to go there?

Nothing personal, and honestly I believe it could be important for some of those who are considering moving abroad...

Actually given the original thread creation it might be more informative to not concentrate on food or weather but would it be easy to move to the UK to play poker, so here goes :

1) Renting a Place to live > if you have cash then there are plenty of landlords willing to accept your money which will give you a UK address, I even know people to rent you a room to get started. Once in the said address you can obtain electricity and gas bills without any major hassle or credit checks, even a UK land line can be obtained in your name.

2) Bank Account > Going into the bank and speaking face to face with a customer service rep will probably be helpful and you should be able to get a very basic account set up almost instantly. If that doesn't work we have option like a prepaid card such as MyCashPlus, it is mastercard that can be funded through the post office and many other outlets and includes UK account number which you can have wages etc paid into.

Once you have the above stuff you should be good to go for playing online poker.

Thats the easy bit, i dont know the immigration laws but I do know it takes ages for people to be deported.

this thread went from moving for online poker to the foods of the world huad

haha seriously i was just out of town for a week and this is the first thread i open and i went straight to page 3.....lmfaoooo we need to find hobbies :(

And nice thread hijack guys. Quit bickering and realize what you did.

bickering lol??? sorry if i bickered bro... weeeeeeeee

Someone mentioned the weather sucked and I thought it was relivant that the food is not good there also... Maybe not important in your mind as far as relocating somewhere but I for one like good food and I'm sure there are others that do too...

FTR, I spent 2 weeks in jolly ole england and lost 7lbs...

In closing.... England is awesome, people are great, and would be cool place to relocate for online poker if you dont mind rain and you have some weight issues...

Thanks for bringing this thread back on track jmaster, lol at all these dolts getting all defensive about food, stop derailing the thread. with that being said central/south america is probly the best choice in regards to weather, price, food, and ease of getting temporary residency. Panama sounds real ballin, costa rica and uruguay too. malta too tho...

I just got back from Europe. Anyone not moving to Spain is blowing it.

Although Im like the masses waiting until after WSOP and probably going to Costa Rica or Panama City or Peru

do you have any links to back this up? I see this speculation here and on other sites but I would like to know more about it. I am >50% moving there soon and still will if it is likely to not take effect until 2012.

I love playing online in the cold weather.

Ive been in Australia for the last 4 months, and i much prefer playing in the UK. Snow makes it all the better too.

Each to their own obv.
