i live by the tor, its great that a landmark whose only defining feature is "being a hill in a largely flat area" gets such recognition.

its also the centre of major wooism and conspiracy theories which is cool

I'm flying from Melbourne to the UK in August.

Will be in Edinburgh for the first couple of days during the fringe festival and then driving down through England. Will mainly be around Sheffield and end up flying out of London. What should I see around the North? I never realised how close everything is.

everything bad about the uk: poverty, islamic extremism, bitter goons etc is concentrated in the north. the trick (like if you go to america) is to avoid cities at all cost (except maybe york and some other places idk)

Isn't tor old English for hill? Did they not even bother to name it since there's only one?

if you're near sheffield go out into the peak district if you like nature and scenery i guess. it's basically stereotypical english moors.jpg, also it has a bunch of caves and stuff you can go into and has chatsworth house which is an awesome country house and grounds. don't stay in sheffield it's a shithole.

I grew up in a 'garden city'. It was basically just a very boring suburban town with a few extra grass verges to make it 'greener'. Family from abroad would often get lost because all the streets looked the same.

Come to lovely Liverpool and get a personal gym session with our resident sex pest, Purple Aki.



Purpz here is bes known for stalking and harassing swole Scousers and even the inadvertent death of a kid I went to school with back in the 80's. He was so scared that Aki was going to bum him and carve a "P" and "A" on his arse cheeks he ran straight into the front of a speeding train.

Aki however is just a misunderstood muscle enthusiast and has only buggered 7 people whilst in Walton nick. :)

Beatles? Premier Football clubs? Nah lad, Purpz is the true reason to visit this city... That, plus the cheap lager.

you should come the centre is alright and i know how much you hate people saying places are poo poo

a lot of the outskirts look like this though for whoever was asking about the british detroit



"Liverpool city bosses are to sell off derelict houses in a failed regeneration zone for just £1 to revive the stalled project."

although I always feel its more like baltimore being a declining port city with a reputation for drug problems and a terrible accent

I was at piccadilly station at like half 11 a week ago and the only other person there was purlple aki.

Where is he actually from though? Because I see him all the time in Manchester but he's like a institution of noncery across the whole region. I even knew a guy from Anglesey who was convinced aki was from around there.

Unfortunately, this is not something that's restricted to Liverpool. These photos could have been taken in almost any town in the country.

Wikipedia says he was born in Toxteth, but yeah he's always floating around. Wandering here, there... Wherever the sweet allure of big muscles leads him.
