Re: sell me a town
I heard there is some new land in Gaza. There might be some openings there, posible quite cheap.
There will also be included benefits such as: living in a war sone, getting shot from by a tank, rifle, aircraft, chopper. All free off charge.

There are loads of pubs, yes, but Durham is probably the worst town I know if you like clubbing, and that includes other North East shitheaps like Darlington and Boro.

Can't be worse than Solihull... (I know that's west midlands and not north east but nm)
Total Club Count = 1
Clubs populated 95-99% with chavs = 1

Re: sell me a town
There's was a promotional flyer I had a few months back which was trying to sell the Tees Valley by saying it was the new Loire Valley, or the Rhine, or something equally bonkers. I'm damned if I can find it now.

Re: sell me a town
How about establishing a new city up on the artic iceshelf?
If ur lucky in a few years your ground will start to move and for a short period you can move around the seas for no cost.

Re: sell me a town
joining in the "move to london" bandwagon. You'd probably love it too, as long as you weren't destitute. Which i suppose is always a possibility, especially in london.

Re: sell me a town
What's wrong with Liverpool?
Edinburgh is the prettiest, and probably the friendliest, city in the UK.
Just do a trip around the UK and decide for yourself.

edinburgh is grand but dark. liverpool has a better quality stone with equally grand Imperial architecture.
but only bath and oxford are truly beautiful towns.
personally for him my advice would be Brighton. It is very difficult to be depressed in Brighton and the job opportunities are more his line of work I imagine.

Bath and Oxford are quaint. But it depends if you want quaint or not.

Re: sell me a town
Try somewhere in western canada here....
Booze is cheapish, moose, your current cash is worth double here, and you can adopt a strange dialect involving ending every sentence with a two letter word beginning with E.
Would definitely be a change for ya over here.

oh pish tosh
they are both delicate subtle and light. architecture that is the stuff of dreams: a palace rather than a castle.
quaint would be the tumble down wattle and daub thatched cottage villages of the cotswolds and east anglia.

Douglas is good. The wages are around 20% higher than the mainland, house prices continually rise, theres 99.7% employment, and there multi million pound clubs and pubs to visit and a quite superb casino.
Downside is that its expensive to go back across.

Re: sell me a town
Try Birmingham.
Its a major city, plenty of bars, clubs and other haunts (a place on Hagley road got closed down last night, my friends were dissapointed) It has major football teams, multicultural, probably the best place to get a curry this side of bombay and the people are friendly. Inner city living is cheap and very affordable and its on the up as a place. I guess what manchester was 10 years ago and what liverpool has been experiencing. Birmingham is lovely.
After brum id say london, with such gd personalities living there like yahwe, tomkat, blasto, dante, t & f and ste, how could you go wrong

Costs are reflected in generally higher salaries, some of us like people, and people are generally polite to me.
