Moving to America

[MOBIUS]

I've got A History of Wales on the bookshelf right next to me. It's a very depressing read, just loss after loss after loss...

Then you clearly haven't read it properly.

What about Owain Glyndŵr for example?

[Drake Tungsten]

What about Owain Glyndŵr for example?

Yes, your greatest hero, the leader of a failed rebellion.

[MOBIUS]

So what park where these murders took place, do you live near?

I don't live near Marcus Garvey. The murderer is the one from my neighborhood, not the victims.

Ooh look at me, I live in the same neighbourhood as a murder - look how cool I am!

What a try hard!

I bet you live in a posh ethnically cleansed part of Harlem - I bet your scariest decision of the day in your neighbourhood is which Starbucks to buy your coffee in.

[Drake Tungsten]

Apparently the nearest Starbucks to my apartment building is 13 blocks away. Must've gone up recently, as I don't remember seeing it the last time I was down there.

Gentrification

Yes, your greatest hero, the leader of a failed rebellion.

Beaten only by an English king who was born in Wales to a Welsh mother directly descended from Llywelyn the Great.

BTW, I like your sig - quoting that great Welshman, Thomas Jefferson!

[Drake Tungsten]

Beaten only by an English king who was born in Wales to a Welsh mother directly descended from Llywelyn the Great.

So your greatest accomplishment is that one of the Welsh women who willingly whored themselves out to English lords eventually sired a son who became King? Way to set the bar high...

[Drake Tungsten]

There appears to be only 5 Starbucks in the entirety of Harlem.

[MOBIUS]

Just as the English women willingly whored themselves out to Welsh lords (Owen Tudor) eventually sired a son who became Henry VII, the first member of the greatest royal dynasty England has known - you know, the people that put the 'great' in Great Britain...

Way to set the bar high...

Yep.

[MOBIUS]

There appears to be only 5 Starbucks in the entirety of Harlem.

Then somehow I doubt that you were being entirely honest when you said that the nearest Starbucks your apartment building is 13 blocks away - unless they're clustered together for security...

I don't have a single Starbucks on my half of the city in Cardiff, let alone the neighbourhood I live in - I guess that makes me more street cred than you...

[Aeson]

In most regards, Idaho might as well be Utah. Or vice-versa.

The only real difference is Utah's crackpots are polygamists and Idaho's crackpots are militia/neo-nazis. (Both groups like to build heavily armed compounds in the middle of nowhere...) So if you're a teenage girl, you're safer in Idaho, and if you're black and/or a Jew, you're safer in Utah. But the only thing to fear for most will be dealing with Mormons always trying to be nice to you and get you to church functions...

[Drake Tungsten]

the first member of the greatest royal dynasty England has known

The Plantagenets kicked the **** out of the Tudors. England + France

Then somehow I doubt that you were being entirely honest when you said that the nearest Starbucks your apartment building is 13 blocks away - unless they're clustered together for security...

You're obviously ignorant of how big Harlem is.

I don't have a single Starbucks on my half of the city in Cardiff

Cardiff is a town, not a city.

[Drake Tungsten]

Harlem alone has more people than the "city" of Cardiff.

[MOBIUS]

The Plantagenets kicked the **** out of the Tudors. England + France

They inherited France from the Normans, and then proceeded to lose it - quite spectacularly in John's case!

You really don't know your history, do you?

You're obviously ignorant of how big Harlem is.

Actually I looked on the Starbucks store locator map for New York - as far as I can tell, there ain't no room for you to be 13 blocks away from a Starbucks in Harlem...

Cardiff is a town, not a city.

Cardiff is a city, granted just over 300k people, but still a city. Apparently we have 9 starbucks including the first ever drive thru one in Europe - because the Starbucks COO is Welsh...

[Drake Tungsten]

Actually I looked on the Starbucks store locator map for New York - as far as I can tell, there ain't no room for you to be 13 blocks away from a Starbucks in Harlem...

I sincerely doubt you even know what the boundaries of Harlem are.

Cardiff is a city, granted just over 300k people, but still a city.

Cardiff is smaller than a single neighborhood in New York. It's a ****ing joke.

[MOBIUS]

I sincerely doubt you even know what the boundaries of Harlem are.

Actually, I'm looking at them right now and can confirm that you're talking out of your arse.

Cardiff is smaller than a single neighborhood in New York. It's a ****ing joke.

And for that I'm glad. If I wanted to live in a big city, I would have stayed in London.

Cardiff pisses all over London as a place to live, and London pisses over New York. End of story really.
