Nicholas,

London is the Capital and they own the Sun, we peasants outside London must accept that we are inferior to all cockneys. London is also the only city in England, they pay higher taxes so deserve to have the best of everything.

It just pisses me off all the media is based in London. Apart from The Scotsman and the Western Mail, which are both shit. Oh, and Mark and Lard broadcast from Manchester, which is pretty cool. One day I'll get round to a poetic tribute to them.

It amazes me that whenever I see a Sci fi movie all the aliens choose to land in London, New York, Los Angeles. I mean what the fucks wrong with Mid Glamorgan? they could hide in the valleys undetected and then launch a surprise attack. As for that Ken Livingstone Mayor of London I have never seen a man fall so badly from the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

Fuck London and its shit food, posh talking scabs from Peckham, and its drivers ahhh man those drivers.

Like how you snuck in all the syllables that you couldn't fit in your haiku, into the lengthy title.

I hate late at night when your legs begin sweating and you're not even moving? I hate that kind of heat.
