    If you don't play ice-hockey or shoot stuff the locals have no conversation.

    Oh, and the bars shut at about 9:30pm.
    The Pas Manitoba. A town of 3,500 and if you don't fish, hunt, snowmobile or play ice hockey...ain't nothing going on. Brilliant lake just a few miles away though, sand bottom, ultra clear water.

    I grew up there. Only excitement are the fights between drunks each night.

        Edmonton. The one in Canada, not north London, although that might not be very interesting either.

            I see Canada is rating pretty high.

            Toronto is boring. As the saying goes "Toronto is like New York designed by the Swiss".

            Vancouver however, brilliant place! Just wish I could get back there

            You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

              What's the most boring place you've ever lived in?
              For me it has to be Basel, Switzerland. And the Swiss have to be the dullest people in the world (especially in the German part).
              I agree on Basel.

                  I enjoyed Toronto and would definitely live there given the chance.

                  Never been to Vancouver but have heard good things from those that have.

                    Blackburn is dead boring as well. I once took a visiting friend into town for a coffee at 5pm. All the coffee shops had closed and every pub we went into either didn't serve coffee or had something wrong with their machine. We ended up at ASDA.

                    Last time there was excitment was when a batsman hit a six on to the road at the cricket club. That was three months back.
