Originally posted by MyUserName View PostI was born and bread in an ex mining town in the Welsh valleys. It was wonderful, I moved to Portsmouth and used to go clubbing near the docks. I burst out laughing when people told me it was a rough area. I was only beaten unconscious once over the entire year (and technically that was my fault as I punched a bouncer when he was trying to throw me out)!
I have never bothered with Afganistan - too quiet and not enough sheep.
