I liked my visit to Oxford the other week but it was as middle class as it gets - two museums, Thai food and a day in nearby Blenheim palace.

I think I'd rather live in Oxford, than where I used to live by in Stoke-On-Trent. So yeah perspective guys.
Yeah, but a couple of million would barely get you a 3 bedroom townhouse in Oxford, wheras you could just buy Stoke outright for that price.

But then where would all the people on monkey dust go?! I always joked to my mates that it should be sectioned off like Escape From New York. |

That's a show I'd watch and get very angry about whilst doing it. Potholes round here are like fucking craters but the council won't fill them as they're not bad enough. Get in the fucking sea. Twats. Ours seems to wait until it gets to the point where they might as well just resurface the entire road. Then they do a shit job of that instead. One of the potholes has already reappeared after less than a week. |

I quite enjoy driving round all the potholes, makes me feel like I'm playing a game.

Lol @ London is the same as Manchester is the same as x city.
Even within London you can have extremely different experiences. An eclectic mix of food options and drinking holes in Brixton, music in Camden, a bit of trend watching in Dalston (or whatever is the current place), posh watching in Chelsea, etc.

Thank you high quality surrey roads and their government/local authority maintenance! |

We’ve a busy through road here that’s deep enough for a decent sized dog to sit in it and be below the rest of the road.
The council don’t own it and the company that did decided to declare themselves bankrupt after setting up a new company that was only responsible for that road. If I didn’t know I’d get sued I’d get something to fill it in myself.

There is probably a Venn diagram of my friends that think footballers are overpaid, and think that the railways should be nationalised as they do not think that the money should go to shareholders.

I can't really say they felt substantially different. Other than its unique historical architecture, interesting restaurant scene, thriving handicrafts markets, and world-renowned cultural institutions, Samarkand was much like Derby. Being in a double-landlocked country it is 2,000km from the nearest beach and I can't recommend it over Whitstable for that reason. 3 out of 5 Tripadvisor owls. |

Imagine if all that road tax was spent on the actual roads?! We would have the best roads in the world!

Why are nappies packaged in the slipperiest plastic known to man? Trying to carry a stack of more than 2 packs becomes a juggling act.

So Mrs Mercury has had to go in to hospital for a few days (A&E rather than planned), I visited this afternoon with the sprogs in tow, feeling a little sorry for myself I treated myself to a hefty (supermarket) 'takeaway' meal tonight, balancing one meal on top of another inside the microwave has resulted in a catastrophic disaster, Japanese (I think) curry sauce absolutely everywhere that literally poured out of the microwave into the fruit bowl, boys tablet and beyond.

My wife’s been whizzed off to the stroke ward a couple of times as a precaution and they really don’t fuck about, paramedics will do a consultation with a stroke unit over FaceTime while getting the ambulance ready |

Why were you balancing things inside the microwave? When i was a kid the only time we ever got fish and chips was when my mum was in hospital, due to my dad being unable to.cook anything. So i recommend takeaway fish and chips. Hope everything is ok and she's back home and healthy soon. |

After the first minute or two it was obvious something serious was potentially happening. |

Why were you balancing things inside the microwave? Well I thought it would be more efficient to heat both mains at the same time, anyway on the plus side the microwave has had a well deserved clean. |

You want to get one of those metal shelves to put inside so you can do two ready meals at once.

Put a CD in the microwave if you want a bit of razzmatazz too, really make a night of it.

Around here there’s a 3 bed new build for that much.
I’d rather get that church one with the graveyard.
