I am pretty happy with monogamy, but I love my friends in a different way than I might love someone who I was in a relationship with. In fact, there is a conversion period between the two in the case of dating a close friend.

In tangentially related news, just had an awesome second date.

woohoo!

well done TomBrend.

Yay! Happiness in the big thread! Cannot wait to be on the northbound train tomorrow!

finally, someone has found a reason to travel to the north on England. Rejoice everyone!

Oi, there's lots of reasons to head North. It's awesome!

We have an angel, do you have an angel? No? Didn't think so, nyer.

North > South FACT!

I would like to submit that your so called fact is unproven, and therefore wrong.

Unproven does not mean wrong. It simply means it has yet to be proven incorrect or correct, and so for the time being is a theory, regardless of it's actual veracity.

I liked the places I visited in the north of England, the Lake District and York.

I will actually be stopping in York for a bit. Not very long, but enough to experience railway teas in a whole new area of the country!

York is a very good example of what the North of England has over the South:

The south has London. Sorry, LAHN-DAHN.

Case closed.

The South has London because it's close to a major international port system, of course the capital wound up there.

The North however has everything necessary to build both the country and the Empire. So there.

Stalemate, damn.

Right, that means we have to bare-knuckle box for first place.

Lying, the port system didn't exist when the Romans founded Londinium in the AD 40s.

The location did happen to be chosen for the Thames's being deep enough to sail into, yet narrow enough to bridge over, but it was still a legion outpost in the middle of buttfuck nowhere. That and most of the major mainland Eurpean ports wouldn't come into existance for roughly another millenia.

Also, the south has Hertfordshire. Without which, Jane Austen would never have been inspired to write "Pride and Prejudice", and "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies", and all similar geek revisions of classical literature, would never have existed.

We are clearly superior.

I will acquiesce, but only because the South has Mimm.

Claiming London does not help your case. That monster which is slowly eating away the rest of the south is one of the main reasons I dont like the south. But we shouldn't argue about which is greater North or South, lets just all remember. It's not France!

I wish it was France. The French have balls.

Theremin very much enjoys balls.

I like you.

You have balls.

I like balls...

I like croissants.

Quoi?

~Alja~

See, France has Sir Captain Picard but England has Sir Patrick Stewart, so I'm not sure how to judge.

Also, when the hell did this become a discussion of geography?
