My first first dance was By Your Side by Sade
I had nothing to do with that as a choice.

My second first dance was "you and me song" by The Wannadies. That was quite funny, if only for the looks from the more elderly relatives.

I was tempted by "nothing else matters" but it's way too slow and been done to many times. I always fancied "iris" but was vetoed, sad times. Ditto the Biffy Clyro version of "umbrella". ah well, just have to get married again.

Scotland has a much lower Cunt Quotient than the South East
And Edinburgh has far better bars and restaurants than London. And, obviously, me. Your loss.

Not really.
It's got plenty of truth. London high end cuisine disappeared up its own arse years ago, it's all emporer's new clothes or places you can't get into in a million years. And the old school favourites are as good up here as they are down there, the variety is as wide and the quality as good.

And if you want a single bar that sums up everything that is fucking wrong with London drinking establishments, "the mayor of scaredy cat town"

plenty of good restaurants, you should pick better!
and a sample size of one bar is not very scientific, you of all people should know that.

ALthough it does add so much cuntyness as to drag the whole lot down

Meh, I'm giving it as an example of overall attitude
And I know not all London is like that. I lived there for fucking years. Just as you know that a lot of it exactly IS like that, and that's what I hate about it.

I know there's plenty of good restaurants. Plenty of shit ones, too, and that's the problem.
