Aberdeen.

Excellent nightlife (100+ bars/nightclubs within city centre, many open until 4am, casino after that if you still want to party)
Reasonable housing (though much cheaper if you move 5 miles outside city centre. Check out www.aspc.co.uk Can get reasonable 1 or 2 bed flats from 50k upwards
Good job prospects with lots of oil companies
Plenty of decent places to eat.
Good clean beach (though water is on the chilly side at times )
about 6 municipal golf courses (about £6 - £10 per round), plus many other private ones.
Minutes from excellent countryside (superb scenery/driving roads)
Clean air
Don't get sweltering 30+ degree temps at this time of year (ie you can sleep OK without air-con/fans). We did have 28 - 29 degress at the weekend though, so not get good warm temps, but not too hot.
Short commuting times
Close (1hr) to ski slopes for winter sports if you are into that sort of thing.
Real snow and ice during the winter

 

for clarity what are the **** areas to avoid in Nottingham been meaning to go out for a night out there for ages just to "suck it & see" so to speak
Si

 

Si. You know you want to live in Birmingham

 

Brum is a dunghole..even the nice parts are swiftly going downhill..

Buxton in the Peak district is nice with plenty of young girly student types knockin about!!

 

i ve been there - 25 year ago mind ...

Seem to be on top of the world..

 

Dont think much ahs changed!!! Oh its got a banger racing track too.....What more can a man want!!!

 

Stockport is a belting place to live if you do alot of travelling for your work. It's almost a pleasure to get up at 5AM and head south on the M6

 

Is Brinnington in Stockport??

 

Forget aberdeen

90 per cent of the scottish lasses look like toby mugs and would easily win a gurning competition without pulling a face

Brum is good if you like asian babes...i used to buy that very same **** mag years ago plus the good old 40 plus

I passed through Buxton once upon a time and it seemed to me it was full of sameheads.....basically too many years of inbreeding creates families with the same shaped heads...you see them on trisha or jeremy kyle all the time

Lord Shrek....looking after the pervs best re-location interests

 

Youve another lane due shorty.. .....what more could you want..

 

yes, I go there once a month to visit my DVD player.

 

Nottingham has the best night life than any british city IMHO.

I used to live there but moved cause of personal reasons but still love the place.


just have to becareful what areas to avoid. Beeston, chilwell, West bridgford and surrounding areas are about the best places to live in.

 

Feckin hell eh? Brinnington also affectionally known as Brinny! Got beat up because i was from Reddish by those cowardly barstewards when i was twelve. to add insult to injury - they sent me on my way after ripping my patches off my pants

gits!

 

York

then commute to leeds

 

York!!

Get yourself on the Micklegate mile on a Saturday night in the hot summer. If you have not only scored but actually had a **** by the time you get to Jinnah you must either be dead or just dead drunk.

The hen night capital of the north - so basically from lunchtime on Saturday the place is full of predatory totty that has been drinking cheap pomagne since eleven in the morning!!!


And to whoever mentioned Norwich - you have to be joking. 120,000 people and 100,000 of them share two surnames.

Common phrase used in the bar - meet my wife, sister and cousin - and don't bother looking for the other two women there will only be one

Also the strip club is only open four nights a week and is full of girls from the local insurer's call centres and the pick and mix counter at Woolies

Summary - hole, empty!

 

John you missed out one of Aberdeen's unique qualities - the most radioactive city in the UK

 

Nottingham is a fantastic city. As is Manchester. I lived in both and of course they have their problems but unless you want to go play with guns you wont find the problems affect you.

Nottingham city centre is, by city standards very nice, mainly pedestrianised, usual high street stuff but also lots of clusters of designer shops.

I now live in Birmingham, the current gun capital of England and, apart from through my work, I have never seen anyone with a gun, never heard one and I wouldnt even know where to buy any drugs, not that I'd want any mind

But my personal favourite is Leamington Spa. Great little town with fab houses, enough decent bars and restaurants a nice park in the town centre and expensive enough to keep the ruffians out - so I cant afford it

 

i once had a night out in leamingston spa and got slapped by the local bike who didnt want shrek's tongue down her throat

nuff said

Lord Shrek......he would move to a place where you dont have to wait 18 weeks to get to first base

 

Did I mention that its a place for the more refined?

oh apart from Rios, which is where I guess you were..but hey there's a blot on every landscape

 

Cheltenham.
Called "festival town of England apparently"
Some festival going on every time I go into town..
About every 5th doorway in town is a pub or club teaming with totty.
Closest we get to water is the open air swimming pool though
Famous Racecourse.
Historic,
Posh



Andy

 

id still say notts. Central to everywhere and it got posh places too.

 

PMSL at Shrek loving the advice so far
Si (tries to free up some capital so he can go play.....)

 

Yes, but did you see the program on last week I think it was ? People living in places with slightly higher than average background radiation have a lower incidence of cancer.

They reckon that up to a certain level, levels of background radiation are actually good for you. They were looking at deaths/cancers etc from the fall-out from Chernobyl, and so far it seems like less than 200 deaths in total have occurred, most of them being guys who reached extreme levels of radiation when cleaning up the immediate spillages etc.

The place with the highest naturally occurring background radiation in the world, has a lower than average level of cancer/birth abnormalities.

John

 

suppose if you have foot or lactating breasts fetish then radioactive f@nny could be very enticing

my mate barry only goes for women with hairy backs

Lord Shrek...finding you the best red light areas to move to

 

MANSFIELD then you can get the damn beers in for once

 

Derby ??? ok ish nightlife but down side is its proximity to Nottingham

 

Bristol isnt bad if you go to the right places. Generally clean - graffiti gets cleaned up quickly, so you dont often see it. Clifton area is nice, with lots of nice bars and restaurants. On the minus side there do seem to be a LOT of chavs if you go to the wrong parts!

 

Cardiff.

Good shopping, good nightlife, places of interest, friendly people (really ) and as a bonus it's a few minutes away from the M4 so you can make a quick getaway if you need to.

(ps. I don't live there)

 

Please note that that by some strange coincidence I posted under someone from Bristol.
