    Difference is, I can also do the London thing rather than interact with carrot-chewing locals like you.
    And i'm 30 mins from Liverpool Street, far too close to bell ends like you !!

    As i said before been there, done that, missing fa

    No, if you want stimulation and never want to be bored, London is best.

    Of course, lesser folk can't cope with it.
    Nice one liner at the end, but did 5 years (Islington and Putney)
    woke up and left. Its all your mate, you and the other 18 million!!

    I now get my kicks by living 35 mins away from Stansted.
    I was at the Guggenheim, Bilbao, 2 weekends ago, the Real
    Madrid vs Vallencia game the weekend before that, and I'm
    off to Dublin in another 3 weeks. All for the price of a tube fair lmao......

    Now get back to tunnel rat boy, your tube will be along shortly.

    Germany used to be absolutely brilliant, in fact in the nineties whilst living in Koblenz an English student from London came to live there because she wanted to be "where its at". I mean a town like Koblenz more exciting than London. !!

    That was mainly because there loads of French people who'd moved there and they made a great party scene.

    All gone now though.

    Is there such a thing?

    I've heard of people being there 30 years and still not getting it. Likewise a couple of mates of mine in London were Swiss born and bred, and it still wasn't certain they'd get it that easy. Supposedly because their dad was apparently a Brit.

    If you smoke crack yes Sasguru, great place !

    Failing that, Norway is only decent place left in Scandy.

    Taxes are high, but so is the standard of living.

    Six months left of this tulipehole. Can't wait.

    Germany's economy is pretty shabby from what I've heard though.
