I would nominate my own city, but from the stench downtown - someone already beat me to it. . ---

London. Especially on the homes of the small-minded London-fascists I was unfortunate enough to meet at Uni, who sneered at the prospect of living anywhere except London, because it “has everything.” Yeah - pollution, crime, traffic congestion - and worst of all - YOU guys. ---

Leave Florida alone, dammit. Go piss on Dallas. Piss on Dallas twice, if you can. ---

Reading, UK isn’t THAT bad. However you could try Bracknell, Maidenhead and (naturellement) Slough. Personally, I piss on Bath. ---

I just thought of some others that deserve a downpour. Milton Keynes - Concrete cows and roundabouts, whoo hoo. Basingstoke - One of the most dreary places on Earth. Doncaster - Where you can buy a house for less than the price of a car. Only good thing to come out of Doncaster was butterscotch. **bifar** , Reading _is_ that bad. ---

Bracknell and Basingstoke are both good choices, but seeing they’ve already, as it were, been covered… I’ll aim for Bournemouth. Wretched place needs _something_ to liven it up. ---

Aldershot. Tow Law. Staines. Slough. Canberra (pretty, but d-u-l-l). ---

Hey! You’re welcome to piss on Bracknell, but Reading’s not so bad (any more). Granted, it used to be a shit hole, but we done smarted it all up now. **bifar** - you live locally? You know the lion in the Forbury Gardens with the huge balls - did you ever notice that the legs on it aren’t right? Both the left legs are forward and both the right legs are back - a posture that would make a real lion fall over. The sculptor shot himself (no, really). I elect to piss on Great Yarmouth, where I experienced only driving rain, blasting winds, a stolen tent, a dismal pier and a waxworks where none of the models were identifiable. That was a shithole and a half. ---

Bugger. I forgot Birmingham, Brentford, Littlehampton, Basildon, large parts of Bradford, Huddersfield, Portsmouth, Brentwood and Shenfield. ---

Seems I’ve touched a nerve here. 😃 I’d add Slough to my original nomination of Coventry. The best thing about Slough is that you can drive right past it on the M4 without stopping. As they say, happiness is Slough in my rearview mirror. ---

Probably half of my loathing comes from my miserable personal situation while I was there, but I also just hated Quincy. Nowhere to go, nothing to do except a run down stinky movie theatre and a Wal-Mart. Oh wait, and a Pier 1. I lived in a fairly nice apartment complex next to a mini-ravine, where the Quincyites across the way threw their trash and occasionally pissed. Just a sad, grey little town that sucks the life out of you. And then, you go to Boston to find something exciting…and people are unbearably rude. UN-FUCKING-BEARABLY. But at least they have Fenway. Three good things about Quincy, Mass: Heritage Pre-School, Frozen Freddie’s, and leaving. ---
