City of Culture...

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

UK City of Culture announced tomorrow. Good luck to all the heartlanders from Sheffield, Birmingham and Norwich but I hope Derry/Londonderry/Doire/Stroke City etc etc wins! ;D

What's Weegie culture anyway? A shell suit, deep-fried Curly Wurlys and ram-raiding the offy at 4AM? ;D
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Stoke for city of culture is the funniest thing I have ever heard, if it's true it's the same as making Tony Blair a peace envoy to the middle east, just wrong.
