There are some goddam awful northern towns up here, with nothing whatsoever for the people to do, but there are also lots of living shitholes in London.

As "northern scum" who has lived in London more than is healthy for body & soul I also feel like I can comment on this from experience:

1. Countryside
2. Beaches

About the only difference I can think of is that ITS NOT BOLLOCKS FREEZING COLD by the beech down south.

3. Fish & Chips
4. Booze price

Valid points though easy access to lots of fried batter and cheap alcohol is probably the reason you're three times more likely to have a heart attack up north.

5. Cup of coffee "still looks like this"

I don't understand this one at all.

6. Being near Scotland.

That's a plus point?

7. No-one looking "hip"

You get hipsters and chavs everywhere unfortunately.

8. Erm, apparently a local BBC show is good.

I actually understand this one but it applies to all areas that are not BBC London. They are local shows for local people with local issues. BBC London may as well be a repeat for the main BBC News.

9. Rent prices.

*duh* that's the sounds of the writer stating the fucking obvious.

10. Seeing the stars at night.

Where? I haven't seen the stars at night anywhere in this county.

11. Shops you only get up North.

Good, they're all shit.

12. Northern Bullshit Detector.

My Bullshit Detector just went off.

13. Apparently there's supposed to be a point here about a bad, fat Northern comedian?

What?

14. Friendliness.

Crap. Every time I've gotten into a fight / beaten up it has always been outside of London.

15. Getting so bladdered you look like a rape victim waiting to happen.

See above.

16. Talking to strangers.

I don't want to talk to strangers and when they have up north (it's true they do talk on the tube and bus) they've been drunk, tramps or idiots.

The rest I can't even be bothered to comment on.

...stuff about the north

Surprisingly, despite being a massive cynic and have not lived up North for over 20 years, I could actually relate to most of these. Apart from the coffee; that's just retarded. And the hipsters - just as many in Manchester.

I mean what would you do if you found your mate had put an advert on an "escort" internet site? Set him up good & proper? Be mature, let him have his secret life and never mention it? Or go out on a blokes night out and try and get him a proper date. Or at least laid without getting paid for it. Or take him down the pub (that's not a euphemism, Toto), and find out if he's making decent cash out of it...?

Irelands problem is we care too much about how other countries see us and then stab each other in the back over pennies, it's no suprise there are so many young people leaving the country or leaving school straight onto a dole Q.

We need to sort our own shit out and stop backstabbing each other over the scraps and not give a shit about how we are seen internationally. We are not a world power, and charity starts at home.

I don't get it. He's set himself up as a "gigolo"? Is that a real thing?

No hypothetical. Speculative. Suppose it was one of your m8s. What would you do, if anything?
