    Three of the cities listed in the Top Ten are in Canada, which says it all really. The quality of life in Canada may well be brilliant, but I'd die of ****ing boredom if I had to live there. It's clear that this survey favours cold northern wastelands.

    By the way, are you bigging up Man City Jip?

    The big cities in Canada are very similar to American ones. And no, I'm not bigging up City per se, but you'd be a fool to argue that they're not at least the second best team in the country.

    We have more things to do, better weather, better location, much nicer women and we don't speak with stupid accents.

    I've been to Manchester and had to go to Oldham for work, it's a ****ing ****hole.

    "Goes to st Louie, down to Missouri,
    Oklahoma City looks oh so pretty,
    You'll see Amarillo and Gallup, New Mexico,
    Flagstaff Arizona, don't forget Winona..."

    Nope, no mention of Toronto or Vancouver there. Let's try James Brown then;

    "Night train,
    Miami Florida,
    Atlanta Georgia,
    Raleigh, North Carolina,

    New York City,
    Boston Massachusets,
    And don't forget New Orleans,
    The home of the blues.
    All aboard,
    The Night train."

    Nope, Canadian cities don't get a look in there. Must be because they're boring as hell. Let's try Frank Sinatra;

    "it's so nice to go travelling,
    To Paris, London, or Rome"

    So big Frank name checks London. Bet he never ****ing heard of Manchester. I rest my case.

    Oldham is a hole, but it's not in Manchester. As for stupid accents, the urban wigger accent is the most ridiculous in the world <ok>

    Toronto is a great place and Vancouver has been named the best city in the world a couple of times.

    As for Manchester, we have plenty of pubs, clubs, restaurants, museums and we have the 2 best football teams in the country :cool:

    Well if we consider that I have already stated in scientific terms that Anywhere > London, then Syria > Scotland is theoretically possible so I'm glad you agree with me even if I don't agree with you.

    Yorkshire Terrier actually, and he's a right annoying little bastard.

    Archers will reply when he gets back from casualty following his latest stab wound. A nice pint of shandy and some jellied eels and he'll be fine.

    Says the guy that can't handle his booze <rofl>

    You don't get stabbed in London, only rural ****s would be too scared to walk around.

    I could probably drink more in an hour than you can in a week, you scrawny little ponce. I drink too much, that's the problem <doh>

    Who's scared of walking around? :huh:

    And Manchester is far from rural. Do you know what rural means? <doh>
