    I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

      Nearly got myself a kicking by calling someone from the Midlands a Northerner. It's clear they don't like 'em either.

      Got the shock of my life when someone really did say "eh up mi'duck". I thought is was one of those urban myths and nobody really said that sort of thing.
      'Eh up me duck' is more of a staffs/derbyshire/nottinghamshire thing. For the geographically challenged out there, that's the midlands.

      You epitomise all that is wrong with some people in the south (head up your arse but you've never actually lived elsewhere). Many people in the south earn a little more (in many dormitory towns not much at all) but their cost of living is much higher (many paying a fortune to live in some sh1thole like Stevenage or High Wycombe), which means they are net poorer.

      For this they have to battle dense traffic, live on top of each other and know none of their neighbours. That's a sh1t QOL.

      I would rather live in the countryside, have space around me, breath fresh air, speak to people, drive on uncongested roads. Of course you do some of those things in some parts of the south if you have a spare million or two.

      Most people have to live a paupers existence, i.e. live in housing that was designed for the working class of the last century. Funny thing is they think they are well off because they know of nothing else. It's the great con! Mind you if it keeps other parts of the UK unspoilt, long may the myth continue!

      The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

      But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

          Yeah it's all been one long joke since you started posting


          Maybe you should look up humility.

            You're a modest bloke I suppose, Bagpuss. But then you've a lot to be modest about

              Perhaps you should set up a "Flame" thread?

                I am a modest person, or at least I try to be, seems to me that's the way to win friends. I don't need to post how wonderful I am on bulleting boards, it looks sad, and is a indicative of someone inwardly crying for help.

                  Sasguru dictionary:

                  Friend = [NOT_FOUND]

                    Please point me to the post where I said I was wonderful.
                    Also try getting some friends in real life - this is only a bulletin board you know...

                      You can't make them anywhere.

                      You are just a poor boy and nobody loves you,
                      He's just a poor boy from a poor family
                      Spare him his life from this monstruosity
