  1. I can’t agree with you more. Cities are just big, ugly, noisey, over populated slabs of concrete that make my feet hurt walking around all day and makes my brain hurt just being there.
    Give me a trail out in the woods and I’ll be happy.

  2. I love cities. I am definitely a “townie.” Cities have history. Local history. Lots of it. Fascinating buildings with a story to tell. The countryside has grass and cow turds.

  3. Brianf – Not only is it the 4th, but you are actually agreeing with me for once! Indeed, a day for celebrations?

    TT – Be fair..which whould you rather sit on? A concrete pavement or grass? And there’s nowt wrong with a good dollop of cow shit.

    And a happy 4th to all of my American fans also. [I’m on my way, TT]

  4. When i saw the driver of a new merc stopping to have a friendly chat with the street sweeper I knew i’d moved to the right place.

    In London the only thing to come out of the car window would have been litter!

  5. Welcome, Mick! Our street cleaner tends to just sit among the flower beds enjoying a cigarette. I know what you mean though – ours is a friendly place apart from the SUV drivers. They have mostly ended in the backruptcy courts though so there are very few left. Heh!

  6. Hi Richard,

    Good to be here, just found you today and enjoying the read.
    BTW grandad here at 44, so not too sure about this ‘auld fella’ mallarkey!

    🙂

  7. DBM – I always believe in hraven when I’m sitting in it.

    Mick – You’re confusing me with that Other Fella. A lot of people make that mistake for some reason. A grandad at 44? Holy shit! You don’t believe in wasting time in your family??

  8. I’m wondering about your coffee.

    Let me have a guess…

    A double espresso mocha chip frappuccino with extra sprinkles and non-dairy whipped cream?

    Ahem.

    Bwahahahaha!!

    Fuck off.

    If I wanted any of that shite I’d have to have a sex change and become a Yuppy.

    I have a unique requirement when it comes to coffee – I like mine plain and ordinary. Just black coffee. None of that ‘mocha’, ‘frappochino’, ‘latte’ piss.

  10. The very, very same as myself. Black, unsullied by milk and sugar. Strong.

    The only thing is I can’t drink any of that instant shite. I do feel like a bit of a ponce insisting on ground coffee, though.

  11. The local shop makes it very strong. Two mugs would give me the jitters, so another aspect of the ‘Grandad’ is that it’s not quite so strong.

  12. I was in Dublin yesterday. Overpopulated.

    I spent over an hour walking around trying to get the wife to decide where she wanted to eat. She was insisting on pasta. I was insisting on beer. We eventually finally settled on Gotham, just off Grafton St, where we could get both (we could get both at the first place I pointed out as well, but it apparently wasn’t good enough for her).

    Something about cities makes people very fussy. Maybe it’s the amount of choice. Where I live, if you want pasta and beer, you go to the Squealing Pig. no other realistic choices, so that’s an hour’s walk avoided.

    I know what you mean with the coffee. Black with no sugar/milk for me too – I suppose because when I drink coffee, it’s coffee I want to drink, not milky sugar, and I’m /not/ interested in embellishing it with fancy crap like chocolate sprinkles or cream.
