Default Birmingham - it's not shit

I just joined the "Birmingham - it's not shit" campaign. I am extremely happy that someone has decided to acknowlege the merits of my home town.

For anyone out there who is thinking of leaving to live in the UK, but can't decide where, remember: "Yar carnt beat a bit of Brum!"

Cheers
Peter

Having sat on the M6 in and around Walsall for hours on end going nowhere. I beg to differ.

It is plenty shit.

I've noticed there isn't a "Middlesbrough - It's not shit" website, because everyone has come to the realisation that it is.

I think is Birmingham is improving, and aspiring to one day become shit. It's current status, on the faecal scale, is irregular, with liquid-in-nature stools.

Hope this helps, :lecture:

Your kidding aren't you, its costing us $1 billion a week to rebuild Iraq, where are we going to find another $3 billion a week to rebuild Brum.

You have to think that Birmingham is the real reason Openheimer invented the Nuclear Bomb

Birmingham is lovely

I am guessing also, that you aint seen the new Bull Ring - the largest shopping area in Europe - its bloody marvelous.

But for 400 million I should think so too.

I admire your courage Sir. The first step to solving a problem is admitting it.
