Pointless lists.
 
See this is what happens when you should be studying for your exam and then the mind begins to wander...

Things I will miss about the UK.:thumbup:
1. Six Nations rugby and the 'Craic'.
2. Shepherd Neame 'Spitfire.'
3. Castles.
4. Day trips to France.
5. Snowdonia.
6. Glastonbury.
7. Beer gardens on a sunny afternoon.
8. Sunday roast at Mum's.
9. Getting drunk in London and missing the last train home.

Things I won't miss about the UK.:thumbdown:
1. Monday mornings and the banal banter about the weekends football results.
2.Friday afternoons and the banal banter about the weekends football fixtures.
3. Kate Price and Peter Andre
4. Big Brother
5. Meridian TV and their pointless feel good stories.(Dog giving birth to cute puppies shocker!)
6. Dover
7. Getting drunk in London and missing the last train home.

And there in a nutshell you have just described the 'Same shit, shinier bucket' syndrome.

I would like to substitute 6 and 7 for the Central Aberta perspective


6) Edmonton (sorry for all you guys that live there ;))

7) Getting drunk in your local rural town and realising there were never any trains, buses, planes or automobile services that operated anyway. F**K :(

Do you know what it never ceases to amaze me how many people drink / drive, if we are out I don't mind being the DD, rather that than run into something or someone cos you're not in control of all your faculties, certainly when its a long enough drive anywhere to get tired, even without the effect of alcohol :thumbdown:

I'd go with most of those - except I know nothing about 6 Nations rugby or any other type of rugby. Sports-wise, I don't think I'll miss anything.

Oh, and I prefer Master Brew to Spitfire... :D

But no worse than trying to buy Moosehead in the "Commonwealth Shop" (I forget its proper name but it's just next to Covent Garden).
