Our entire staff room agreed that Libya won by a country mile. A Friday night was like the scene in 'The Great Eascape' on July the 4th, when the illicit hooch was ready.

I thought the "hipster" was extinct maybe I should get out and travel a bit more to exotic locales like Manchester and Leeds.

I have not seen any on my infrequent daytrips to the more downmarket areas of Greenock, Paisley and Glasgow.

Is that addressed to me ? I decline to answer on the grounds that I might incriminate myself.

Oman is the worst country I've worked in so far, worse than Saudi Arabia. I worked at Modern College of Business and Science - MCBS. They say it's one of the best,which means that education in Oman is really disastrous, wherever you may teach. The place is run by Omanis who have no idea about how to manage whatsoever. The teacher has no right there. He doesn't even know when holiday time is. The curriculum is always changing, the coordinators are incompetent, and generally, everyone is afraid to speak. I strongly advise you to think twice before you apply there.

I never understood why so many people like London. If you take the tube or the train, you'll realise going in that massive parts of it are complete dumps. And any place that isn't a dump is expensive as all hell.

Manchester, Leeds, Bristol, Liverpool are far nicer cities, IMO.

Large parts of London are now like something from the Third World.

The oft-repeated paraphrase of "No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford." by Samuel Johnson (in 1777) has a lot to answer for. It's just plain wrong, you can be tired of London and still feel a zest for life. Many - millions, in fact - who've once lived in/near the city, have moved out because they are not 'tired of life' and wish to pursue other lifestyles that don't include living in a very unique, extremely expensive, over-populated, congested and polluted capital.
