swapsies?

TheGoldenKnid · 23/09/2012 18:26

I love living in the country, I couldn't imagine living in a city. So, YABU.

squoosh · 23/09/2012 18:26

Have you always lived there or did you move there from a city? I like the countryside in bursts, but full time rural dwelling wouldn't suit me at all. Fo'sho'.

TheGoldenKnid · 23/09/2012 18:26

If it's boring, go make something happen! Grin

But careful with involving sheep.

Hullygully · 23/09/2012 18:26

i live in a town and have the same problems as you face Hully

but no sheep

I live in the country. The smell of slurry can be a bit overwhelming at times, but other than that, I love it. I was brought up in South West London, opposite Wimbledon Common and near Richmond Park and whilst they were fab, it was never enough green. I'm in Suffolk now, huge skies, huge vistas. Love it!

motherinferior · 23/09/2012 18:28

Don't blame you. Horrid stuff, all green and open and unpolluted Why aren't you in civilisation, Hully?

TheGoldenKnid · 23/09/2012 18:28

But you've got us to entertain you!

Hullygully · 23/09/2012 18:28

YANBU it is personal taste. I loooove living in the country, but I like horse riding, long walks, wild camping, animals, wilderness, peace, space etc. Other people prefer an urban envirronmentt- perhaps you should move?

IvorHughJanus · 23/09/2012 18:30

How the fuck can you hate sheep? Surely they're the least offensive of all livestock? With their funny little faces and little twitchy noses. Like little clouds dotted all about the place.

Maybe just shit your own bit of the countryside up a little bit. Dump an old washing machine out the front, chuck some coke cans and condoms about, and drive up and down outside tonight blasting some drum n bass out.

Sorted innit.

Hullygully · 23/09/2012 18:31

JOIN THE WOMEN'S INSTITUTE?

The women here aren't like me, to put it mildly

They think I'm like a FREAK

Bastard children much happier in civilisation, IMO. Especially my muliticulti bastard children. Move. Bring smiles of joy to their happy little faces.

TheGoldenKnid · 23/09/2012 18:31

That would liven things up, there you go. You could take over the Women's Intstitute!

UnChartered · 23/09/2012 18:31

i live in this shit town because i can see the countryside from my house

and it's cheap council tax Grin

TheGoldenKnid · 23/09/2012 18:32

Too late for this year's produce show I suppose?
