Hello

I am a new person. All will become clear in time. Until then, where is best? There are many places. Some are best, others are not. Which is most best? Is it a) An town 2) An city 4) An gypsy roaming happy camp 3) Others?

Preferably, this discussion will focus on the Great Britain and not some Northen Irelands, which are inconveniently placed for the mammalian feet. Some places are called Norwich, while others are called, for example, Leeds. But which is best?

I am not false or tricking, I am a flesh and blood soul sovereign.

I like the woods at (near?) Ashton-under-Lyne. I would very much like to live there, perhaps occasionally feasting on families of Sunday morning ramblers.

Given the choice, I'd live in Driggs, Idaho or Houston, Texas.

I do love living in rural Kent, though. You can't get pizza delivered and the broadband's shit, but it's so nice living in a little village where nothing much happens and it's nice and quiet.

Home is where your friends are, I find. If I didn't live in Nottingham (and have no plans to leave), I'd probably move to London if I could afford it. I want to go back down south at some point, probably to Bournemouth or Poole. Not until I'm much older, though.

This sounds nice, however few people will fit in it and furthermore a wall of corn would support little ceiling weight, causing much danger of sog in raining times.

What reasons have you for braving such peril? I am told cornwall has natural beauty, for example: Bees.

I'd quite like to move to the Lakes some day. Until then I like Fleetwood just fine for the most part, it's chock full of cunts but they're not the worst type.

Where I live is best. The internet tells me that murder and bombs and shit happens everywhere else. You're all going to get stabbed by hoodies or the kiddiefiddlers will get you and if you get past them, you will get blowed up for fun. I believe if you make it past all that, you can prestige. Where is Gill?

I am told curious things of these:

Bristol
Bath
Nottingham
Liverpool
Jomo Kenyatta

To live and etc. in most of these would be pleasant for human men or female men. Is this not so?

Where am I in general today? I'm busy working!

I love Glasgow the bestest and would like to move back there but if I had he money to stay anywhere I would buy a largeish (four bedrooms probably) house in a ruralish area as well as a townhouse in Glasgow. Both homes would be in Scotland though. Not that I have anything against the rest of the uk, just that as myp said home is where your friends are.

Liverpool's city centre might make for a cracking day/night out, but I couldn't recommend living here to anybody who isn't an empathically stunted Scally King who is positively sexually aroused by the sight of buildings in varying states of dilapidation.

I've gone right off Liverpool. Oxford is where I'm pointing my lasers home next.

After (probably) an unfortunate getting-closer-to-Manchester.

I've never been to Hampshire, but I have been to Aldershot, which makes Walton seem like, well, The Waltons.

Furthermore, York. York has been replaced by an american place also named York, however the old one is still in use. Such decadence is not wise, for we will be sooner without any York at all. See also: candles.

Oxford is a place of boating and historic men to pile stones upon other stones for many weeks until a building results. These are still in place today, and enforce punitive taxes upon present mans, who can scarce be left with copper pieces with the weight of an sparrow.

Words have travelled on gas-waves to my ear device of a place named Manchester, which rests on a part of the world shared also by York. This intrigues me.

Canterbury is lovely, but if you don't like tourists or students, steer clear. If you give a toss about clubbing it's bad too, but then clubbing if for nobs. I liked it. I'd go back if (a) it didn't feel like regression (b) I didn't have bad memories of some things that happened last time I was there and (c) there were actually any jobs. There's basically shop work and the university, and that's it. And the students will hoover up all the shop work - they make up two thirds of the population when they're around.

London is a horrid place to live. Expensive, stressful, way too crowded, smoggy, and run by Boris Johnson. I mean, seriously. Visit it, by all means, but don't live there.

Warwick is nice enough, but small, and there's nothing much to do there. Close to Leamington though, which is a bit more interesting and has some lovely restaurants (five/three rivers - I forget which - is particularly good, though don't order any cocktails because they'll be smaller than your thumbnail and poorly mixed).

Stratford upon avon is lovely, gorgeous, and slightly artsy/historical, but it's very quiet and fairly insular. Some fantastic restaurants (esp. Edward Moon, and Hussein's), though.

I hear good things about Bath, and have always been fond of Manchester. Edinburgh was great too, but I've only been once and I don't know if I'd enjoy living there.

Oxford is very expensive to live in. On a par with London. There's a reason I live outside the ring road.

You can pop into Future and ask when Amstrad Action issue 118 is coming out since they never officially cancelled it in print. Don't take no for an answer and remind them of the time that there was a printing error and issue 57 was two weeks late.
