Edinburgh is the most miserable place, apparently. Poor [livejournal.com profile] pmoodie.

*is surprised London wasn't mentioned in either category*

Maybe it's Bi-Polar

Or the people sent to investigate.... never returned!

(The sound of Capt. Willard's boat on the Thames slowly fades.)

Sorry. ;-D

They were eaten by the Tube Monster that lurks under the Northern Line!

Hang on, that inscription actually continues....

*wipes away dust*

"Mind the gap... ing maws of Hell awaiting you that you have trespassed into It's lair!"

Oh dear.
I guess our Oyster Card won't save us now.

I love my f-list. :o)

LOL

Yes, the misery levels in Edinburgh are high. It's because the place is mostly inhabited by rich English people. :P

But there is a chocolate soup there! Surely that keeps happiness up?!

Chocolate soup?
Love the chainsawing penguin icon, btw. :o)

They serve exactly how it sounds :)

I've never encountered this chocolate soup of which you speak. It must only be for the rich English people.

That's not chocolate soup, it's a tin-foil unicorn!

I know, but I was trying to be funny! LOL

Whoops, my German lack-of-humour genes seem to have taken over for a while there...

I've always rather enjoyed Edinburgh!

Mind, I don't have to live there and don't drink either Buckfast or Tennants Super, so that probably helps...

Are those like Special Brew down here?

Much the same...

Buckfast Tonic Wine is legendary amongst the "oh my dog, don't drink it" set... it's a real "for serious winos only" drink :)

Tennants Super is a 9% or thereabouts, purple tinned wonder. It's usually priced the same as Special Brew, as it catches the same market.

LOL, I love the photo in the wikipedia entry for Buckfast (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckfast_Tonic_Wine).

"A bottle of Buckfast in the street"

Yeah, that about sums it up :D

It's not massively unpleasant, but I'd have trouble drinking more than a small glass - it's too sweet for me!

A small glass is most likely the intended dose, anyway. ;o)

Somehow I wouldn't be surprised at that :)

I blame the grumbly blue-rinse brigade in Morningside myself.

Could be worse, I could live in Glasgow ;)
