    Aberdeen has the second highest number of millionaires of any city in the UK.

    Lincoln's in the midlands, but I did say on the other thread that if you can prove you have Northern attributes, you get to be part of our gang. Since you are a Newcastle fan with links to Leeds (IIRC), you can count yourself as an Honorary Northerner. <ok>

    We're not proud of Manchester but we sort of have to tolerate it. It does its bit. Birmingham? Get to **** that's in Midlands territory.

    We are the champions, my friend. And we'll keep on murdering till the end. Plus our murderers all have cool nicknames:

    Harold Shipman - Doctor Death, Raoul Moat - Moaty, The Bradford Boys (Stephen Griffiths - Crossbow Cannibal, Donald Neilson - Black Panther, Peter Sutcliffe - Yorkshire Ripper), Ian Brady & Myra Hindley - Moors Murderers, Ian Huntley - Soham Murderer, Peter Chapman - Facebook Killer, Stephen Grieveson - The Sunderland Strangler, Trevor Hardy - The Beast of Manchester.

    He lived in Leeds while he was at United, Wetherby area I think. Unless you're talking about the other United he played for.

    Manchester/Salford is essentially just a poor mans Blackburn.

    It all merges into one vomit filled cess-pit.

    No wonder Londoners look down their noses at Mancs and Scallys etc. I think we should annexe the North of England from Britain because it drags us all down.

    Even the Queen won't go to Salford/Manchester.

    It still rains alot there, and it must be called the Granite City for a reason.

    The United where he became a household name, silly. He lived in Worsley, fairly modest 4 bed detached.

    I take it you've never been to Blackburn. How could M/cr be classed as a poor-man's version of a town a fraction of its size. You're just being daft now. And the Queen was in Leigh a couple of years ago, which is part of Greater Manchester.

    It rains a **** load more on the west than it does on the East ya ****in' tube.

    You just need to watch Coronation Street. In fact that programme sums up mancs in general.

    Aye but the Queen will not venture into central Manchester. She did visit Ireland though. Hmm must have been security fears in inner Manchester.

    The North is a lot more than just the Mancunian dives, just like I'm sure you lot would claim Scotland is more than just that bigot-filled **** heap they call Glasgow.

    There's no such place as Greater Manchester. Purely fictional.

    Oxford Road = one of, if not, the busiest bus routes in Europe <whistle> haha

    Some of it's a **** hole, some of it's really nice. Much like MOST cities to be honest. It's only the housing estate areas that are the **** holes. The center of it, Piccadilly area and all around there, is nice. some of the architecture is brilliant.

    Just like The Scheme sums up Scotland?

    She didn't go to Central M/cr because they hadn't just opened a new sports complex there <doh>

    'Fraid so Yonner. You live there :(

    Admittedly it does rain a lot
    But ya know, ya get used to it.

    It has its sunny days. It's just a shame that whenever that happens there's a bunch of ****ing students in shorts, flip flops and straw hats on every available bit of grass with every teeny tiny bit of sunlight.
