Happy Birthday, Fiona. Sounds like it was lovely!
Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
So, 'ffistas, any advice on Manchester? I think that's where I'm going to move to in the UK.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The only thing I know about Manchester is that Life on Mars is set there. And Cracker.
I live to be helpful.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I hear they have a football team.

Ann, that's a ferret.
At least two, Nutty. One of whom (Manchester City) is worth a cheer or two.

No advice, really, but I like Manchester. I think it's a city that's working hard to get better, and succeeding-- with the new shopping centre etc. It also has a great youth hostel.

I hear that Cardiff has all sorts of fascinating things happening of late....

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Oooh, good choice! Lots of culture and history and nightlife, but it's still poor enough that property prices are less horrifying than in London, say. The dodgy bits are very dodgy, but such is life. The posh bits are also pretty posh. Big city by UK standards, and it's a University town. Very buzzy. Back in the day it was home of the new music scene, whence came The Stone Roses and Oasis and all that. But that was a while ago. Good shopping, both posh and studenty. Culturally diverse.

t / Yorkshire lass but you can't have everything.
My mate Soph (whom I sucked into an obsessive love of LoTrips RPS - from reading no fanfic I got her collecting thousands of NC17 stories just by pimping Calico's story to her...er, the same one I made you read, actually, now I think of it) works at Manchester University, and she lived there for years - although now she actually commutes there from Yorkshire every day. I've visited her in Manchester lots, though, and it's definitely somewhere I'd consider living. They have a cool German Christmas market, and excellent art galleries, lots of lovely Victorian architecture - Go Team Manchester.

Ooh, dodgy bits...my favorite bits. (don't ask Crime Chick, right?)
