You're right, too generic. I love london but my point was that all cities have ****holes. Only a tiny bit of them are great, the rest are generally ghettos.
I stayed in a 5* hotel in Brussells with the missus but we got off the tube a stop too early. ****ing ****hole. I was sure I was going to get mugged.I scared them off by telling them I was Russell Crowe. It worked.
Best place to live in the world... Bora Bora
I've always found that the areas around railway stations are always rough, in most places.
Even parts of the supposedly 'nicer' areas of London, such as Chelsea and Kensington are crap. The City of London is nice though, but Greater London is a ****hole. Islamabad-on-Thames as I've Christened it.
As for best place in the world to live, the Cook Islands are nice.
Always, seen it in London, Paris and Brussells.
The only "station area" that was nice is Zurich. There was one resident junky there that asked for money but he did it in three languages and was very polite.
Other than that, you're right, staions are ****holes.
Paisley has to be one of the worst. I used to live there and there was one guy that had lost his ticket and needed his fare home to Johnstone....for three years. I don't know how he survived that long without getting home.

SIL has been there and said it is fantastic. I went to Bora Bora on honeymoon but I made a good job of getting sun burned to **** on the first day. Telly in Bora Bora isn't that good.
The whole of Britain is basically a dead, ****ed-up ****hole. This country has had it's day and is now an example to other countries of how bad they will be in the future.
I'm having my kids out to University by the time I hit 40 then I'm ****ing off to a much nicer place to live. Actually get a job opportunity in a place that has cheap enough private schools and I'm out of here next chance I get.
Larkhall I remember being there watching a junior game. I asked a guy in the stand what the Rangers-Celtic score was and he replied "tuin". I asked agiain about three times and he kept saying "tuin".
It took me a while to realise that it was "2-1".
They always seem to be in red light zones. Bordeaux was the worst, we went in a pub there that was apparently a "Bar-Club". As soon as we got in, the bird behind the bar (about 45, seen better days) ordered another bird (about 40, 4ft 8 tall) to go and lock the doors. The midget then came and cosied up to my mate (after scaling the barstool) and another, more rancid bird came and sat with me (having unashamedly sprayed her crotch with perfume). Our 2 lagers came to 20 euros, this was 9 years ago, so about £14. The landlady asked if we wanted to buy the "ladies" a drink, which we politely declined. She responded by saying that we had to buy them a drink, it was a "bar-club", an "American-style bar" where we paid for "company". My mate told her that we were each other's company, and we finished our drinks and they let us out. The next pub appeared to be run by local gangsters. All within about 50yards of the station of course.
Brilliant idea, think I'll try to do the same.
Mind you, I've been trying to get laid with the wife for 4 years so I won't be holding my breath.
