Living in the UK advice.

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

I had a mooch around town a couple of weeks ago. Monday dinner time around KIng street and Quay St was very respectable with lots of tourists and 'professional' types happily wandering around made it feel like a real International city.
Thursday i did the same and then walked up Market street heading for Shudehill, or more accurately the Turks head. Stood outside having a smoke and it still had the international vibe but with less money and more scrotes knocking about.

Great pub

I work with a few Aussie's. The majority of them are okay, but there are the odd one or who are what you might call stereotypical chauvinistic Aussie men.

So a bit like working with Yorkshire folk then?

Remember when graffiti used to be edgy where now it's the norm and they even integrate it into the corporate world of advertising?

Where the working class pubs once were you can enjoy a pint and a plate of unrecognisable food with a lad called Nigel who works in advertising and is wearing his "Going out" Oxfam jumper that looks that dirty even the lice have left it to him.

There are certainly plenty of weapons in Manchester mate.

On my way from Piccadilly to Victoria all I see is a place that is trying to be new york, all graffiti and posh cunts in scruffy cardigans.

Bring out your fucking dead.

Which route do you take?

If only your plane could ricochet somewhere nice and you didn't have to land is the London cess pit mate.

Straight off the aircraft and on the train to Retford via Kings Cross. I'm spending Christmas with my daughter who lives near Worksop. I'm definitely not hanging about in London. Can't be arsed with any big cities these days.

Got a free pint as well. New landlady just moving in knew me from a few years back.

the thought of us having to return to live in the UK is somewhat frightening.

You're going in the wrong pubs..
