This tickled me so I thought I'd share

Just in case you wondered which bit was what, here you go

Seems pretty accurate to me :D

I live between Sad Commuters and Gay People and Pensioners. Notable is that Slough (Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough -- tbh it'd only be an improvement. Home of David Brent, 'nuff said) Slough is slap bang under Depressing.

I'm squished in between People Who Wish They Didn't Live in Birmingham and Clarkson.

Oh dear. I lived in Arrogant Wankers, did my undergrad degree in Self-satisfied and one side of the family come from the Space-Time Rift.

*hangs head*

If I had to live anywhere, I'd live in Nobody Lives Here. Because it just sounds kind of cosy, yanno? And I'll bet the weather is better.

If all goes well, I'll be an Old Man Sliding Down Hills in a Bathtub. (Skype job interview on April 28!!! I might be a bit giddy about that)

I moved from the county of self-satisfied hippies (Bristol) to the one where they elected a monkey (Hartlepool).

I thought they hung a monkey in Hartlepool as a French spy?

Anyway I live in People Who Wish They Didn't Live in Birmingham. I've also lived in Self Satisified and am about to move to Cider Drinkers.

Maybe they did, or maybe not.

The reason for calling Hartlepool "Elected a Monkey" has to do with the former mayor. He ran for office dressed up as a monkey--Hartlepool United's mascot.

Mind you, both of those are better than Clarkson.

Notice how close Clarkson and Twats are? Coincidence?

Oh, I've just seen the Isle of Man. :D

I hadn't noticed that!

ETA I am in Perpetually Drunk right now. Cracking view from the hotel window. Wonder if I can see Looks Like a Cock from here....

Thanks for the chuckle. :) The Corrs made me laugh: I went to uni in Bit Scary, and one of the women in my dept. was from Dundalk. The Corrs were always mentioned whenever her home town came up.

I've only been to Arrogant Wankers, but I would like to see Permanently Drunk and Wannabe English, since some of my family emigrated from thereabouts.

I'm right smack in Depressing. Lovely.

I was in Shit Cats not too long ago and loved it (didn't see any cats though, but lots of vengeful seagulls.)

I see Middlesbrough is smack bang at the junction of industrial decline, belligerent, and elected a monkey.

Middlesbrough was a run-down place when I first arrived in 1987; but so was the whole of the North East.
