Probably the most beautiful place in the world

romanista · **Posted:** Wed Mar 04, 2009 10:34

I went to Madrid for my work on monday and tuesday, and went to Atocha station. Imagine, an old Victoria Railway station. not longer in use, as they build a new, just attched to it. Remove the tracks, fill it with a tropical garden with turtles and lots of birds. It is the ultimate waiting the place, the green long a city needs so desperately. at that next to the place where the 11-3-4 bombs went off..

Drinking a Cerveza, reading Marca (Atletico-Barcelona 4-3)...

Barrow?

Ah Barrow... where Chavs are the elitist ruling class, ruling over several species of sub humans. The sweating armpit of Cumbria.

So the nice bit of Cumbria, then?

That's absolutely lush.

I heard someone from Madrid on the radio the other day complaining that the city is full of dog shit and human urine, though. The local government are passing harsh new laws to reduce it as it's currently such a problem - did you notice copious amounts of excreta, romanista?

I didn't notice any of that. Then again, I was too busy pissing out of a window.

At least you've never lived in a place called Govan... Awful, awful area in Glasgow that should have been razed to the ground a long time ago.

I love Glasgow, but I really do hate most of the inhabitants. There are chavs everywhere you look now... I remember the good old days when twats like that, were the minority.

Good job no one wants to visit any time soon, really.

The Zombie apocalypse did 10s of pounds worth of improvements to Govan.

That looks awesome.

But i don't envy you at all, since Spanish beers are like dishwater. At least Heineken is like water, almost clean water

I've still not found out what the hell that headline was about, maybe it's best that way.
