Breaston: stuck in the year 1500, village of *******

Living in Breaston, Derbyshire

The Derbyshire village called Breaston, is still stuck in caveman times. If you’re pro hunting, fox hunting etc, then this might be the place for you. Folk who live here are Neanderthals, can spot them by the way they speak words like “UGG”, scrapping their clubs along the ground or their fists. Highlight of the […]

Nottingham, A dirty place full of people who can’t speak properly

Living in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire

You’re driving along the M1 northbound from Leicester sort of way and the journey feels fine except from a couple idiots on the outside lane trying to knock your car out of the way. Seems to be nothing around but fields, ‘Nice’ I thought. Then I see a sight that just looks so unwelcoming, the […]

Sneinton, Nottingham, do not come here for peace

Living in Sneinton, Nottingham

A very mixed community, which somehow also makes it fragmented.. The 50% Pakistani community keep to themselves, the Roma ******* have their own “welfare rights” day once a week at the Sneinton Library..

Bulwell: If crippling depression could build a town.

Living in Bulwell, Nottinghamshire

Bulwell isn’t a bad town. It is the metropolitan equivalent of a distant gulag in Siberia – reserved only for the vilest and most capitalistic kulaks. Masses of black and blue tracksuits, penned in by dismal alleyways and busy roads, prowl the cold grey streets. Streets. Streets that are barely illuminated by the synthetic glare […]

Nottingham? It should be called Shottingham.

Living in Nottingham

I lived in Nottingham all my life before recently moving to London. I can safely say that Areas in Nottingham are literally a no go – on the same level as Afghanistan. Bilborough, Broxtowe, Basford and St Anns are just massive council estates filled with hooded ***** who openly carry weapons and drugs on them. […]

Well, I’ve been living in Nottingham for four months now and it is easily the least friendly, intolerant city I have ever had the displeasure of inhabiting. I was lucky enough to find a pretty sweet job in the Clifton area of the city and rapidly found accommodation in the area. I was born and […]
