Please tell the truth about Manchester

[crizack]

i hate manchester and love it at the same time, it's bittersweet. We do all have yellow teeth though. if someones house alarm goes off, we dont look out the window to see what's happening, we shout ''turn that fucking thing off!'' whilst grandad joe is getting beat senseless by a bunch of 15 year old scrotes. It's alright for them though, because if they get caught, their the victims of society.

manchester is a lovely place for socialising, but not so much for living the life of reilly, unless of course, you are a drug dealer and have the racist police officers from gmp on your pay roll.

Overall, it's a great place.

Detroit's full of gangsta rappers, Chicago is full of mobsters, Ny is full of pimps, ho's and serial killers AND and the deep south is full of gun toting sodomisers or inbred mutants that will torture you before making a nice burger out of you whilst wearing your skin as an housecoat. Though ive never experienced the States myself ive seen enough movies to know this is FACT

I love the sweeping generalisation! Quite an accurate discription though!

It was tongue in cheek fella as i thought the final sentence would make clear

Now all of these drawbacks, would they be the same if you were pulling down £200,000/week?

manchester is a relatively tiny place, compared to other cities in the world. a lot of big football clubs are based in these big cities and it will be a shock to see just how small a place it is to a new footballer. thinking it is the home to the rags and us, he will think it must be like madrid in size, but ts not, in fact it is easy to walk from one end of the city centre to the other in an hour, less even.

there are no world famous landmarks or historical monuments and Piccadilly gardens are now a concrete mess. but there are some real architechural wonders and a ton of history and achievement.

however, the size of the city works in its favour, it is so compact that it doesnt daunt you like london does or other cities. you can walk and shop and eat and drink in some top quality places. it has a friendlier feel to it than other larger cities. it feels more warm and initmate.

i do miss the place (as i now live abroad for work) but i dont want to live their anytime soon. i prefer the sun but visits are always a real treat!

shop alarms,burning cars on street and angry drunken mobs at midnight.

You'd have a preposterously sized mansion in Prestbury, and have a trip over to Carrington most days. You'd never need venture to even the far outposts of the city suburbs, except going to the stadium, otherwise. You could spend your free time cavorting with the horsey Cheshire set and driving around in your Aston Martin.

That said, Zabba used to live in Didsbury. Which is perhaps atypical of Manchester suburbs, except for weekends when the idiots pile in on buses from other places.

Manchester is wonderful, I love it. I'll never leave, or I'll certainly never stray too far. Good reading: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Manchester-England-Dave-Haslam/dp/1841151467

Born and raised there and took the first chance i had to get out.
The people are great,great sense of humour,but the City it self is very average.

If you were a multi-millionaire,as most City players are,would you choose Manchester to live?

No I'd live in Cheshire, where most of them do
