I went on one of those, city break to Reykjavik is it?
the northern lights didn't come out to play when I went, sadly, although the blue lagoon is a truly incredible experience.

In answer to your original question, some besuited and suitcased cunt shoved me as I was getting on to the train the other day, causing me to fall over and smash my knees in to my bike. He then tutted at me and stepped over my bruised and bleeding carcass. Instead of screaming abuse at the inconsiderate fucker I silently wished a slow and poxridden death upon him. The curse of being British...

Being a well-mannered Englishperson will always be to your credit.
Particularly in these dark times, when most Englishpersons no longer have this attribute.

Fie, I say - fie.

Nobody offered to help me up, either
Commuting appears to turn people in to total cunts.

Some of us are already cunts. Just saying, like.

Of course.
This is why the South-East of England, despite it's obvious attractions in some ways, is somewhere I will never live again.

I know man.
I'm such a coward for living in a beautiful city with no serious overcrowding, no major traffic problems and an exponentially lower level of cunts than London.

It shames me, CQ. Shames me.

Enjoy whatever sub-London conurbation you have chosen and pretend there's not a reason everyone want's to live here.

it's cos you're all sub-deviant masochists
actually, I reckon you'll find it's mostly "cos that's where the jobs are" rather than it being any direct personal choice.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 2 Nov 2011, 10:36, Reply)

Some of this
also some of that's where all sorts of other stuff is. I was just making the point that the problems you mention are caused by lots of people wanting/choosing to live here. I mean there are jobs in other places, OK they pay less, but property is way cheaper too, there's only a few people, like me and Monty, who work in London-centred industries, and I could find work in Slough or maybe Bristol, but frankly I'd rather die.

I'm a scotch.

Yay!
That makes 3, depending on what you count as scotch. Dozer is proper scotch and I'm scotch the way a lot of Americans are Irish.

I just about qualify to play for the Scottish football team
but I'd never say I was Scottish. Especially not whilst in Scotland. Or to a Scot.
( Kroney, Wed 2 Nov 2011, 10:05, Reply)

But would you want to?
2 minutes into this world cup qualifying campaign and already Scotland are eliminated, what do you make of that Archie?
Well, it's certainly a big improvement on last time.....
( mark morrisons prison shoes I love Willie, Wed 2 Nov 2011, 10:07, Reply)

Well, I wouldn't be any worse than any of the other players.
And I don't have any legs.

Probably an improvement in all honesty.

( mark morrisons prison shoes I love Willie, Wed 2 Nov 2011, 10:09, Reply)

Yeah, how much is that then?
I reckon I'm 1/8th, but I also have the surname, and a scotch spelt first name so that should be worth something.

I'm Scotch too.

There's plenty of mericans think they're Scotch too.
