Never been to Spain, or anwhere in mainland Europe, for that matter.



Oh christ, please don't start. It'll bring out a side of me you won't like, I promise.
Each to their own, I never preach to people about my health and lifestyle beliefs but having seen close family members go through the big C, it makes you review your own life!

Oh, so you're quite happy to be associated with a drug dealer but woe betide someone of legal drinking age wants to get arseholed on a weekend.

google Leeds Saturday night..!! might have nice refurbished buildings but still full of piss heads ..walk around at night ..as a single female...good luck
From the age of 12-27 I was a season ticket holder at Leeds. For several of those years, I hardly missed a game, home, away or in Europe. I went to lots of them as a single female. I drank beer, and I swore. Lady luck must have been shining on me for all those years

each to their own...you can take drugs, sell them, drink do what you want ..the discussion was originally about UK....Its got many good points as has US, Europe, Asia etc..... but the weather and binge drinking culture / anti social behaviour in the UK is particularly depressing....im fit and actually quite tough but in 20 years would I want to walk through Leeds, Bham, London at 2 am ....no chance....police need more powers and respect at schools needs to improve then the UK might become Great again....

I've tried as much as possible to avoid this thread, but the comment about Southwest Florida not bearing the full force of a hurricane is not correct. I actually enjoyed my time in FL, but I was there during Hurricane Wilma and it did devastating damage to the west coast.

I guess this isn't the time to bring up teen parties that end up in gunfights here in the US then?? Or does that not happen in Florida?
