London’s calling

Oh no. The dreaded moving date is getting rather close. As some of you know, I got a job recently that means I have to relocate down south to smelly London. The 28th will be my last day in lovely Leeds for the foreseeable future. :(

As any English person knows, the north of England is far nicer than the south. ;) Take the county of East Sussex, for example, on the south coast of England. Famous for Eastbourne (a town where old people move to die, aka “God’s waiting room”!) and the Beachy Head cliffs (the UK’s #1 suicide location). Woo hoo! (Don’t worry, I’m only saying this to wind up Dibble - hehe)

The advantages of moving to London are:

  • More computing jobs
  • More music and comedy gigs
  • Food!!! Lots of fine cuisine from all over the globe
  • Travel - easy to catch the train to Paris or to fly from the many London airports.
  • My girlfriend will stop whingeing about wanting to live in London (yeah, she’s a soft southener).
  • Culture - many fine galleries and museums, theatres and cinemas.
  • Interesting array of buskers (I’ll keep the Busker review updated, don’t you worry!)

The dissadvantages can be summed up as:

  • Expensive
  • It’s smelly
  • Tourists
  • Too many posh people (toffs)
  • Can’t get fish, chips and gravy!
  • Futher away from my family
  • Seems to be a few too many bombs around at the moment too

Anyway, the advantage for you guys is that I’ll be pretty busy next week, so you won’t have to endure my posts!
