Apparently, Seattle has the highest suicide rate in the States! Always fancied going though...

Yes , France is a great place to live. Just don't remind them about the war. Best to take your own white flag in case there's an invasion while your there and there's a shortage. And don't bother going there if you are Jewish, or black, or Asian...or - well don't really bother going if you're not French.

Whoever wrote this study must have some realestate in France for sale.



When the guys came back after the end of the war the most frequent chant was 'never trust a Frenchman, always trust a German', I wonder why?


Everyone I know who has invested in a property has had difficulty selling it for what they paid in spite of any restoration they may have added.

Interestingly... of all the countries on that list, which are better to live in than here apparently, only Spain and Malta have lower suicide rates.

I don't actually think londoneers know what quality of life means, this is a very crap place to live actually. Lack of room in the houses make ppl feel like they are prisioners (and these don't even have to work for their food not even pay tv license either), traffic, wheather, stress, polution, bank holidays (lack of), crime...I don't see why we scored so high.

I?ve tried that before, I am a citizen of the Republic after all. Trouble is my knowledge of Ireland is pretty poor. When asked which part of the country my family comes from I just say, the rainy bit, and leave it at that.


Anyway back on the relative benefits of Britain as a place to live. When I was a student (back in the old country this was) I remember reading a book of far-fetched-fiction where the author describes how one of the most truly magnificent things these islands have to offer is to descend the stairs in the morning after an evening of libations into a kitchen which contains a buxom Northern lass mid fry-up.


This is something sublimely unique which Britain can be truly proud of.


The weather?s still shit mind.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
    • So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
