Do you like where you live..?

[Loukas]

I Love Where I Live! London is the best city ever!

XAGV9kKYynY

[Kerry]

Yes I adore it

[Stu]

Can't stand Cork. Like a lot of Ireland it's full of old fashioned, counter progressive, know-better-than-you, ignorant dolts. Look at the people we elect to government for christ sake. As soon as I can get out of this country, I'm gone and I won't be coming back. Ireland has failed an entire generation.

The place is saved only by that whimsical, desperate sense of humor some people have that comes along with trying to survive in a sea of **** with your head held high.

Oh, and the dope is way too expensive. We get the poorest quality smoke in Europe. But like most other things in Ireland, we deserve it because we put up with it, take mediocrity as normality, and don't speak up.

[Jessica.]

I love Limerick tbh.

[Twilight]

Nope full of chavs, and its so boring sadly:(

[InOne]

No it's the worst place in england

[Princess]

I like the town where I live but that's about it. Ireland is too small and quiet for me,I'd love to live in London.

[Stu]

I'm surprised at the London love. I have been there and it's my idea of hell. It's like an overcrowded waiting room outside Satan's torture chamber. Loud, obnoxious parody of itself, teeming with irritable subcultures and students. Worst of all it thinks it's awfully cool. Which is not cool.

Yeah.

I'm going to end up living in the trees, aren't I.

Or Cork.

[InOne]

Manchester is better than London.

[Princess]

I've never felt more at home anywhere than I have in London,it just has this great buzz,plus it's the only place I never get homesick. Manchester is great but I've only ever been for tours so I've never witnessed the city non-Take That crazy.

[Stu]

Or Cork.
Berlin for me I reckon. It's always had one of the best electronic music scenes in the world and it's got plenty of weird bits. And I am mad for anything German. Save for a certain controversial workers party ...

[InOne]

Well i'm going to London in April so will make my mind up then lol

You know I'm only messing sweetcakes. I had so many great nights in Cork.

[Stu]

You know I'm only messing sweetcakes. I had so many great nights in Cork.
I haven't :wink:.

The place is dismal for nightlife. A few good pubs but the clubs are laughable. All teeming with underagers, all blaring bad RnB and chart music.

We don't even have a large capacity music venue FFS. We get the Marquee once a year and that's it. And boy what a laugh that is. Getting crushed in a dingy tent while the sponser urges you to buy more overpriced beer.

What is that dingy one that I was at then, with all the levels? Really crappy place but good fun?

[Shaun]

Hmm. It's pretty to look at, and I've had a lot of good times here - but there're virtually no job opportunities in Torquay and whilst being home to Fawlty Towers and WKD is rather lovely, being the 2nd biggest area of teenage pregnancies isn't.

The people are pretty great on the whole though - not too many chavs, pretty liberal-minded, I don't feel persecuted for being a teeny-bit fan of the penis... and the shopping / activities side of things is pretty good. Could be better, but good.

I'd just like to spread my wings really. I've lived here my whole life (even in the same house) and want to see the world.

[Stu]

The Pav? Just off the main [Patrick's] street?

[Kerry]

I hated London. Most unfriendly place I've ever been in my life. I like people who smile in the street and say hello

[_Seth]

No, it's a disgusting shithole. :)

[dirtyvileHARRYuk]

the joe lives on thisisbigbrother.com website < and i love it < i got everything i need here lol

[Stacey.]

yeah, its ok :)
but i wish i lived in Ireland :bawling:

[Raph]

yes! I love Cwmbran <3

[Sophii3x]

London is SO over-rated. I've been loads and I'd actually hate to live there, too crazy and most people are so rude!

I don't really mind living in Swansea, but it's so boring sometimes,there should be a bit more to do. Night life is good and we have the most beautiful beaches (like 10 different ones) in the Gower. I don't think I could ever leave, it's always been home and I get so homesick when I go away!

[Chels]

i ****ing love cardiff.
you have your sh*teholes such as ely, grangetown and canton which you need to stay clear of or you'll get mugged by the chavs and drug dealers. i love the city centre and my area so no complaints really! plenty of pubs where i am and my beloved cardiff city, i'll never leave!

[Braden]

Northampton :love:

[Maia]

I like living by the sea, but I hate the paticular town I live in atm. It's just full of old people really...:p

[ILoveTRW]

No

I need to live in a either australia or the usa

[Niamh.]

I love where I live :

enough of the Cork bashing Stu!!! I would like to live in Spain one day though

[Stephanie]

hate it.

[Patrick]

I Love Where I Live! London is the best city ever!



London drives me mad, the accent is horrible.

But then again I suppose it depends on what part your from.

[Harry!]

Yes I do love where I am from. Just wish more poeple visited the city.

[Patrick]

Oh and yes I do love were I live, its wicked.

Couldn't live anywhere better..

[Enid]

I love city life. I love the hustle and bustle, I love the night-life. I'm definitely an urban child at heart.

I don't think I could live in London though. Even that was too much for me. Sheffield is perfect. Steel city!

Sorry, but it's a hole, and all the fress air and yachts in the world won't make a damn difference.

[Patrick]

Really?

*Crosses out Cork on my places in Ireland to visit list*
Well I dont agreee with you that Ireland is old fashioned because from what I've seen its quite modern, but then again it probley does depend on which part.

This more or less describes the North of England. I live in an area that thinks the Sheffield and Manchester accents are "posh", which isn't good for me as I speak in RP, lol. The nearest city is Sunderland (although strictly this area is part of Durham) which is a cultural black hole. If you take a look at the classical section of CD shops, it's all Lesley Garret, Paul Potts and maybe a "Best of Mozart" album. I once made the mistake of travelling by train in the city (if you can call it that) on a bank holday... chav neanderthal central.

Moving to London might be nice, but it's probably just as bad if people like this are any indication.

Manchester isn't overcrowded, smelly, full of unfriendly people and has personality

Theres no grass in London

I've visited Manchester a few times and I wasn't keen. The place was so unfriendly, it made London look like a happy, serene community. No offence to Mancunians, I'm sure you're not all the same. :)

Grass is over-rated. Give me concrete and lots of it. :P

Nah, seriously though. The only grass we have are in parks. Messed up, huh?

[Firewire]

I like the town, but don't really like the city.

[Z]

Aberdeen is my hometown, it'll always be home but it's not very exciting, I much prefer where I am now (Glasgow) - so much to see and do, I could never get bored here. I'll be spending a year abroad when I get to 3rd year of Uni, somewhere German speaking, I'd have to be in a big city. I loved Berlin when I went there, so I think that's my number one destination.. I am a city kid, I HATE being stuck in small towns and villages, it feels like torture.

[bbfan1991]

I love the town where I live and:). Birmingham an hour away so if I want to go to the city I can:D.

You could go to Switzerland. They speak four languages there, including German, so I imagine it's a very multi-cultural country.

[Z]

Definitely! The only issue with going somewhere like Switzerland, south Germany or Austria is the huge difference in dialect and use of the language; the Austrians use different words to Germans, southern Germans use a different tense for saying the same thing as northern Germans... all very confusing, but I have a bit of time before I have to seriously consider all of that! Ought to be a thrill, haha.

[Princess]

Why is it people want strangers to say hello to them? I don't get that,'Oh in London people don't say hello'.Yeah because they don't know you!No offence to anyone,I'm just saying. And I'm with Enid on the grass things,there's plenty of parks.

[Sophii3x]

Nobody said anything about saying hello, London's the last place you'd see a stranger saying hello to another like on the street or something.
In London I've been shoved to the floor on the tube, pushed in the street several times, even got hit in the face by a briefcase on the bus without recieving a single apology, if that happened here I would have got an apology. I asked a guy the way to Hyde Park once and he replied 'buy a *****ing map' and carried on reading his paper.
People in London have no time for you whatsover, I just can't understand how people can be so rude and unfriendly.. it's worlds apart from where I live.

[Callum]

Meh, Cardiff is okay. Our town centre is one of the best things about it though and there's loads of nice places to go to. :)

[Tom4784]

It's not great but it's home. I'd much rather stay where I am then move to a city though, can't stand cities.

[Stacey.]

I like living by the sea, but I hate the paticular town I live in atm. It's just full of old people really...:p

Jesus christ! That's awful! I've never experienced anything like that in London at all. Maybe I just got lucky.

[Beastie]

I have been to London but don't think I would want to live there. I didn't experience rudeness in London but maybe I was lucky too. I am happyish where I live! but my local bank got closed down which is like 5 minutes away from me.. my closest bank now is 15 minutes away! lol

Umm there are quite a few chavs.. scrap them then the place would be better.

[Tom4784]

I couldn't stand living in london, it's decent for day trips but everything's so hectic and I just could not stand living there.

[Ross]

Yes I like my city.

I don't like London, people are very rude.

[Niamh.]

Sorry, but it's a hole, and all the fress air and yachts in the world won't make a damn difference.

I agree with you about Cork City but county Cork is beautiful and I love where I live.

and yeah Patrick it does look abit like Balamory haha but it's not!

[Captain.Remy]

Second biggest city of France. Sun all year long, Mediterranean weather, beautiful islands, gorgeous beaches, great University. I love Marseilles even though it's a bit dirty but still. I will always love it but my heart doesn't belong here, I'm in love with London since I was a child. I'm a traveller, but I will never forget where I come from and who I am.

And Marseilles has the best clubs in France. Paris isn't even close.

[Stacey.]

Umm there are quite a few chavs.. scrap them then the place would be better.

:nono:

[LewisMarvel]

I hate where i live it's infested by chavs who always rev they're car engines

[GypsyGoth]

Not overly fond of my neighbourhood however I do like the city as a whole.

[MarkWaldorf]

love london. so many opportunities here and i love seeing the city.

[andyman]

True London is a pukka place, huge urban playground for all tastes..

Islington is ok..

[Loukas]

[Smithy]

It's k here, but they want to close the market
:nono:

[andyman]

You live in islington??No, been there plenty of times.. And Tottenham area, Hackney.. Tis like a bunch of towns all together in urban happiness.

[LemonJam]

It's potentially the most boring place on Earth.

However, on ratio we do drink more than the UK and Ireland.

EDIT: Apparently :p

[Enid]

Urban happiness indeed. Mmmm pollution.

[sooty]

I like my town.

Less than 20 minutes by train to Kings Cross Station.
Lots of green yet very near to London.
Very good school.
Few minutes drive to M25.
24 hours open Tesco and small Sainsbury.
Swimming Centre
Community Centre

Then this is my view (oap).
Young people might think totally other view.

[WOMBAI]

I like where I live. Quiet area just a few miles from the town centre and an hour by train to London. Plenty of shops, schools and other facilities. Good social life.

[Mrluvaluva]

I like where I live now. 20 min walk from Manchester town centre down the canal. I got bored after 8 years in London. It became mundane like anywhere. I like to move around.

[Alf]

i live in Hull

so what do you think?

[Wildcat!]

London for the past 3 years. I really dont like it to be honest. I think people are way too cold, they dont smile, they look at you funny if you are talking loudly. I dont know, its just like everyone is either outrageous, or constipated. And there are lots of crooks, from store owners trying to short change you, to big time crooks!! Its a hustler's town!
I dont like big cities anyways. I am only here, because I was dumb enough to choose a grad school in London to go to. I am done in june anyways. I like the multi culturalism, but its segragated. Everyone lives on their side and have neighborhoods, that are all segragated. I am not used to that, grew up in Africa, and in Tucson Arizona, so I have always seen people mixing.

Anyways, naa, I dont like London at all! Its expensive, and I dont like the people here.

I always heard America was more of a melting pot than the UK, but others have said the US is more segregated. I guess the former must be true. I really wish people would mix with eachother more.

[Loukas]

I have never experienced someone rude in London and i have been here all my life, i guess it might be different because i have been brought up here? London is magical in my eyes, you just need to find the magic :D

[Princess]

Anyone London haters who live there,I'd be more than happy to trade you with my little Irish town :p

As an outsider, I've never found London exceptionally rude. I put this received wisdom down to stereotypes and cliches more than anything else. Transport staff in the capital are arseholes in my experience though.

I am sure there are places in America like that, if you go to big cities, is where you see it most, even in DC, or NY! But if you go to a regular town, or a college town where there is a major university ( I lived in one) , its not segragated, and so much more enjoyable. I cant wait to go back to be honest! :)

Thats the thing though, if you didnt grow up here, you its not easy to just feel at home. Like I said, its a hustlers town. Most people come in here to make some money, so they arent very friendly. But if you grew up here, its all gravy!

[BB_Eye]

Anyone London haters who live there,I'd be more than happy to trade you with my little Irish town :p

I'm not a Jimmy Carr fan, but my favourite line of his from 8 Out of 10 Cats is...

"living in the country is great... unless you want to go anywhere, see anyone or do anything"

[ILoveTRW]

the only thing i noticed about Londoners is they keep themselves to themselves, where i live you have to say hi to every single person you walk past

tbh i get tried of saying hi to random strangers

[Loukas]

would you not says its the opposite way around, this states like Minnesota and Mississippi having the segregation, and state like California and New York being the melting pots

[supernoodles!]

I hate where I live,its utter crap!It could be worse,its not too bad for violence I guess =/ and its not like I don`t live in a decent house,area etc.Its just so boring,theres nothing here,I wish I lived closer to Newcastle which is about 25mins away.I`d love to live in London though.

Thats srtereotypes that you hear. I guarantee you, people from the south, bar some of the notorisouly racist cities, are a lot friendlier, and integrated, than people from the north and big cities. GO to Washington DC and check it out! IVe spent some time there, so I know about that city at least.

I LOVE London, it's just got everything.
I honestly never wanna move away, I've even applied to unis here.
Where I am specifically, we're only 40mins via tube to central london, there's a nightbus from tottenham court road that drops me literally outside my house, but we're also far enough out that there's fields and stuff about 10 minutes drive down the road.

Hello Samy, so you speak Japanese!

That is an old Japanese saying.
"You will like the place eventually" or "Wherever you live now is the best for you." or something like that. (you see, my English, I am not explaining well)

How we use it? For example;
If a child is moving to another place to live for some reasons, and he/she is not keen the place, parents might say to her/him,"住めば都 sumeba miyako"

[CaraRawr]

I like where I live! It's quite a nice area, if you excuse the chavs, and the town centre here is great for shopping and culture and that. and we're only about 20 minutes from london on the train so it's really convinient :]

[zotler.]

I live in a grotty industrial town. I hate it, you have to go to Stoke or Birmingham to do anything decent and a lot of people around here are extremely rough.

[teamandre]

no i hate were i live its so small that every one knows your life in side out puls it full of d**k heads!

[Crimson Dynamo]

I dont pay to park anywhere. I dont lock my car or house. There has been snow in the garden since the 16th of December and there is still 14cm now. It has been sunny for the last 10 days in a row.

cracking.


(London is rubbish)

I dont lock my car or house.
