I love London because...I've got a gig with a great big fat f**king rate there.
and also because I am not an insecure antagonistic simpleton who is severely paralyzed by his own social ineptude and constantly feel the need to express myself by posting utter sh!te on an IT contractors forum, even though I am a carpenter, to detract from my pointless existence ala HRH/RRH.
My bro' has a really nice appartment in a really nice part of Knightsbridge that he lets me use, whenever.
And whenever I get a taxi down to one of my clients, next to Vauxhall bridge, they always say 'sir' this and 'sir' that and do you want some blank receipts 'sir'.
There's lots to do - an overwhelming choice, in fact
It's a hive of activity
It changes all the time
The best gigs are here
There's loads of options, workwise
You earn more - and if you're smart - you don't necessarily pay much more than living in other cities
It's a travel hub, no seriously long treks to the airport
All the major shops, national and specialist, are here
You'd have friends where ever you lived
You just can't get to them as the tube shuts at midnight
It's overcrowded
Nothing stands the test of time
Not many warehouses in central London
There are loads of office jobs
OK you got me on that one - but the cheap houses are postage stamps
Terminal 5
Mail order
Sorry, I just felt in an argumentative mood
Seriously though everywhere other than London has everything listed there. People keep telling me that I need to "live in London while you are young". Yes, I may do at some point in the future...wouldn't mind gigging there however everyone should also not live in London while they are young.
