Recently I've had to contend with the moaning of some friends (a cpuple) who're back from China. "Oh China china china, china's our home now, we hate it here, blah blah blah" Then you'll be walking down the street and you'll feel a spot of rain and think 'oh fuck, here we go' "It never rains in China! Blah blah blah shit shit shit." Okay, go back to China and type Tiananmen square massacre into Google, and see how long it takes for you to have an 'accident' in the street. We'll see how fucking ace China is then, or take a drive out into the country and see how the little people live, fucking western-compound motherfuckers!!! I always appreciate Britain a little bit more when I come back from a med country. To walk along a street with no gaping holes in it, to not see any downed power lines close to your house, and that ace feeling you get when you arrive at Manchester Airport and notice that (a) the lights are all working and (b) none of the policemen are asleep. I'll slag Britain off as much as the next man, but if anybody else tries to convince me the fucking Congo has got 'nicer people and better bread' (a real conversation, I shit you not) I'll take my full entitlement of angry pills.
