Don’t be ashamed, every town has its quirk! You have to embrace it!
Here in Lincoln city, we have the highest sex offender per population rate in the country. It’s part of the rich tapestry that makes our country great.
Where else can you see a cathedral on a hill and get fingered?

So really Manchester and Lincoln are very similar. At both you can do some shopping whilst avoiding something stiff.

Did anyone mention the rain? There's a saying that if you can see the Pennines from Manchester that it's going to rain. if you can't then it is raining.

FWIW I quite like Manchester, although it's a long time since I was there.

Yes, 3/4 of Australia could be improved by strategic bombing and motorways. When I used to work here, it was more like 7/8ths but there have been several new wine areas ad interim.

Actually, the bit that wouldn't be better post a nuclear apocalypse is the thin crescent along the QLD coast, down to Melbourne and on to Adelaide, inland about 50km. And the sort of parsons nose around Perth.


The best thing that happened to Darwin was its flattening by a monster cyclone Christmas 72 or 73. Place boomed for 3 decades. It's now the juvenile arrest and unemployment capital of Aus.

This, combined with frigid Aussie women was why I leapt at the chance of working in PNG, and then threw myself into the arms of South America.

OK so Bury Brass House Wise, there's two in particular 5 mins walk from each other. Lamaison and GFE, apparently when you've been with Elektra your life wont be the same again. (Don't think thats her real name?)

Tell her you're a friend of Keith.

Tim your knowledge of brothels is surpassed only by EB. He concocted the flimsy and unbelievable excuse of needing to inspect their VAT returns. What's yours ?
