I look to Europe rather than America, the cities of Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Russia, Italy and France seem a lot more alluring than America.

And when you do, don't forget to visit Lake Balaton. The only place I have seen lake water as blue as it, is in the Bluewater area of Lake Huron at the mouth of the St. Clair River.

Blocked me as well.

I love it when he posts in the Man Airport thread. With luck I post the traffic stats before him and watch as he re-posts it as new days later.

It amuses me. Not like a Dara gig, but in a small way.

Leeds burglary rates were three times the national average in certain parts of the city last year according to this link,so maybe you need to look a bit closer to home, it backs up that they're poorer areas but still, we're talking about the national average here.

Cardiff.. who gives a shit about this place?

Strange that you think Liverpool is a "dump". Liverpool is one of the most attractive provincial cities in Britain despite being behind in terms of wealth.

Oh I didn't realise actually, but Liverpool used to be a dump, watch Boys from the Blackstuff, and still has some shit parts but is totally transformed since the 80's materially and culturally.

I've been to Liverpool plenty of times and I love it. If I could take all the people I know who think it's a shithole (stereotypes hard to shift etc), I would, just to prove them wrong.
