The sentences I quoted before that adressed property - I assumed this one (which didn't specify and industry) was referring to the same.

Finance and its associated industries would be the largest, yeah.

It is, yes.

I couldn't think of a worse place to live and I have been to some pretty awful places.


I have seen some fairly dire slums in India, can I recommend you those? :P

It's fine, we don't want you either. Rather be a Londoner and live in the best city in the world than a cunt.

Stevenage is worse. Stevenage is the worst place on this planet. A North Korean gulag is better than fucking Stevenage.

I'm already been pissed off enough at NSG to the point I'll be withdrawing from anything but Middle East and Brexit threads , so whatever it turns out to be, NS summer will be crap enough for meesa.

I think you've predicted the next trend.

I would withdraw for the summer, but I'll have literally nothing else to do but studying on my road to going into Physics. Perhaps also setting up this YT channel a bunch of friends want me to set up, where I muse on politics, society, and history.

I visited it twice. That was enough really, I don't like cities generally anyway.

I've set myself up for summer (academic) work, so that will distract me (hopefully). Besides, my main love on here used to be RPing, rather than NSG.


ooh. I'd watch it for those comments.

Staffs is ringed, I'm intrigued.

I am from London, and I can say without a doubt that it is the most beautiful city in the world.
And aren't the little villages in Kenya or Ethiopia perhaps worse than a city where supermarkets stay open all night?
I also live in Surrey- some of the best countryside in Europe, I would venture.

I'll grant you this much, people who have only lived in dog shit their entire life would think that it's better than an actual place.

I kinda wanna get into RPing. I'm thinking either Vampire the Masquerade or Cyberpunk. I dunno.

My friends particularly like my characterization of Mugabe as the Retarded black African Lenin. :lol:
