Nonsense.
It’s “Da Greatest City in Da Woild.”
Oxford = Picklefuck?
Lola, you obvuiously have no idea of the world outside of your own head.
Go open a book.
Up until the 1970s, Montreal, Matt’s home, was Canada’s greatest city. It has since been surpassed by Toronto, which is now the country’s great city, and its center of commerce, culture, and industry. Like most countries, many people outside the great city are jealous of it. You see the same jealousy directed towards the central city in most countries. To some extent it’s also directed towards Montreal, especially by rural Quebecois, but less so since Toronto vaulted past it as Canada’s #1 city.
TwistofFate - Shouldn’t you and the rest of the dung beetles be crawling over the shitting on America threads?
Get a sense of humor, needle dick.
I’ve heard several people call it that. They’re wrong.
When I was in the Sears Tower last year all the publicity called it the “world’s tallest building”. It isn’t. They’re wrong.
Finally, don’t you dare call Oxford ‘picklefuck’.
When I lived there we called it ‘The Pox’.
Sorry, but I don’t suppose anyone could explain just what’s caused this sudden case of vitriol from lcc?
And who are dung beetles?
No vitriol. If I’m insulted, I will insult back. ’
And the dung beetles are a famous band with really shitty songs.
bwah.
Aww Lola have people being shitting on your nation? How positively Un-American of them.
BTW I agree that a few people in here seem to have had a sense of humour bypass.
Lola, you make this sound like Twisty is defending his own. He’s not. He’s nobly stepping up and defending a city in a foreign country. Fair play to him.
I’m now going to wax lyrical…
But you’re the one who started with the insults - remember “Picklefuck”?
and where is “The edge of reality…” sounds like somewhere near Buttfuck Idaho to me.
Anyway, to anyone who doesn’t know about it, Oxford has some of the most beautiful architecture in Northern Europe. Its university has the reputation of being one of the best in the world, and was founded in 1096. Get that: it is nearly a thousand years old. The oldest college buildings are still in use, and are more than eight hundred years old. It’s a jolly nice place (for the most part, though I wouldn’t recommend anyone going into the Blackbird Leys estate after dark).
As for the title ‘greatest city in the world’? I’d give that to New York, with Hong Kong coming in a close second. Biggest city in the world? Greater Tokyo, IIRC.

Yeah, but you should see the theme park they have!
Is Mexico City up there aswell? Or am I way behind the times?
American Tourist: Well, this University’s right purty. How old is it, compared to <venerable american university>?
University Porter: Twice as old as the USA, I think.
This really happened. I swear.
How silly. I’ve never once heard New York referred to as the world’s biggest city. Has anyone, anywhere, heard such a thing? Maybe I’ve missed an idiot or two in my time, but if the OP heard someone say it, I’d just write it off as a random person who was a bit misinformed. It’s not like you’d hear this multiple times over the course of a year.
Pretty well.
It must also be said it’s not as if New York is the only city that suffers from inflated claims. Londoners and Parisians are particularly bad in my experience.
You’ve seen nothing 'till you’ve seen the majestic skyscrapers and sparkling nightlife of Assboink, Idaho.
