Most places in Europe but not as much as i'd like outside of it.

Oh have you been to New York? or Los Angeles?

The UK makes you wanna fucking neck yourself. Rarely any sun. Not that I dislike it, but it's not a place to live.

sonicl 11.04.2006 01:59 AM

Hmmm, interesting use of the word "neck". Here in the UK the use of the word "neck" as a verb usually refers to kissing. I assume that your use refers to hanging oneself, though?

Norma J 11.04.2006 02:43 AM

Yes, that is be correct.

Yes I live in Wales and it never stops fucking raining. I've been to London a few times and didn't much care for it. A bit to big for my liking. Cardiff is quite good because its just big enough, you have everything that a major city has but without the pollution and you can walk down the major high streets and know at least 2 or or 3 people. Its a strange place as every sign is spelt in English and Welsh and anyone whos knows anything about the Welsh language will know it looks and sounds like it was invented by a drunk.

london is awesome. my dad lives there

Confucious is sex 11.04.2006 08:44 AM

I live in London and regularly see people I know walking down the high street, I also know all the lads who work on the market and was, in fact, married to one of them until recently. My family have all moved on, but I live with my formerly racist grandfather, his Bible bashing wife and my inexplicably ginger city trader cousin. It's great living in London, someone dies around Christmas every year...

No, hang on, what I've done there is confused my life with that of Sonia off of Eastenders

London is a hellhole. And yes, I have been there, and no, I am not insane.

No offense, but does your location not read, "Liverpool, England"? I like Liverpool, but I certainly wouldn't choose to live there for any length of time. Or have you acquired that strange North/ South divide thing that only Scallies and Mancs actually care about?

whorefrost 11.04.2006 03:44 PM

i'd say manchester > london

whorefrost 11.04.2006 03:44 PM

leave the capitol!

whorefrost 11.04.2006 03:45 PM

best cities in the UK are Edinburgh and Glasgow

toxic johnny 11.04.2006 07:06 PM

Well I have a real love/hate relationship with this city and have lived here since 1985... I absolutely love it to death and first visited it in 1977... I am however now thinking that I need to leave the capitol for a while.

But when I have a day like I've had today taking in 2 movies and a beautiful afternoon spent in Soho record hunting... I know that I'd miss it dearly if I ever left... the hustle... the bustle... the beauty.

Tomorrow I'm going to Hampstead Heath... Therein lies the dilemma... what would I do without this amazing metropolis.

Yes, it does. I would not choose to live in Liverpool either. I find all UK cities depressing. My dislike of London is not founded in that North/South divide cliche, no. I just cannot stand to be in London. I find it more depressing than Liverpool. I'm sure Catherine Tate and Eastenders may have something to do with it also. Don't forget Hugh Grant. Fucking tosser.

Cantankerous 11.04.2006 11:17 PM

one of my favorite cities i've ever visited. i can't fucking wait till december.

Toilet & Bowels 11.05.2006 11:27 AM

it's ok, there're lots of opportunities to do things, and i like the area i live in, but i hope i don't have to live in london all my life, there're just too many things that piss me off.

jon boy 11.05.2006 12:32 PM

its not like any other city in britain, but its so overpriced. it used to intimidate me and scare me but i do like it a lot now. prefer berlin though.

Alex's Trip 11.05.2006 12:39 PM

I'd like to go to London.
