I thought Orlando was bland, ugly and completely without character. It felt like an entire city built by committee... hey, that rhymes!

if you hate it that much why not move?

Because you need money to move, and you need a job to get money. Swansea is leaking jobs at the moment. This is a city where 75% of employment is public sector. People can think I exaggerate but it's a ghost town, which anyone going to the away game next year will see.

Oh yeah, and I don't know if it's a city, but every time I've been out in Wolverhampton I've hated it. Can't understand a bloody word they're saying and it's just a bit shit.

Outside of the theme parks, Orlando is nothing. The nightlife there is terrible.

I don't hate any cities, I also thought there are some little things that I like about each. (Even Orlando, how can you hate Disney World

and I love Harry Potter so I can't hate The Wizarding World). Although there are some places in China that I've been to that are REALLY dirty and disgusting, but those are more rural areas than cities.

Rusty Oysterburger · « **Reply #48 on:** June 19, 2011, 06:24:01 pm »

Yeah I love Disney and Universal and all that but they aren't really in Orlando, I meant the downtown city bit.

RigBon1892 · « **Reply #49 on:** June 19, 2011, 06:24:32 pm »

Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Coventry, Dublin, Belfast, Newry, Orleans.

Not sure if Maidstone qualifies as a city.

Matt8Pie · « **Reply #50 on:** June 19, 2011, 06:30:05 pm »

I hate Birmingham, London, and Norwich.

Nothing happened, the tour guide had a gun? I honestly thought it was like London but covered in a thick brown dust and a lot more destitute folk. can't believe you never did the museum... it's fantastic and come on man... the Pyramids are a spectacle to behold!

Nothing fascinating about seeing some pair of mummies to be honest, went there a lot as a kid with school trips and always detested the idea of going that I after then always pretended to be sick to avoid going there.

Not a city I think, but Slough is the most depressing place in the country if you stray out of the Asian areas

I'm ready mate, I'd do it starting from tomorrow.

Meh, someone else put it up first.

Forgot about Armagh. Poor excuse for a city. (and FWIW Boro is bigger than it).

Rusty Oysterburger · « **Reply #56 on:** June 19, 2011, 06:36:24 pm »

I wouldn't go so far to say I hate it, but Birmingham is ugly as fuck. It looks like an enormous industrial wasteland. I'm surprised there arent more post apocalyptic/nuclear wasteland films shot there.

RigBon1892 · « **Reply #57 on:** June 19, 2011, 06:38:26 pm »

It's ugly but I love it.

Mind you after having spent time living near it I much prefer Newcastle to it.

London. Fucking despise the place. Every time I go there, something always goes tits-up, and the time spent there ends up being a disaster.

I'll be slightly controversial and say Los Angeles. I just don't like massive sprawling places with no obvious centre. Found it very hard to get around without your own transport and that made nightlife hrs to find too. Some great places to visit obviously but I don't get the fascination with the place and I don't know why so many want to live there.

Agree totally . I thought it resembled a Mexican squalor camp some parts of it. The whole Hollywood & Sunset Blvd areas are dogshit. For such s famous place in the world Hollywood is shit. Compare it to any Aussie, NZ or Singapore etc cities LA is dirty, dodgy & crap

It's probably a nice place but the only time I've ever there is when I'm on exercise on Garelochhead so the place just reminds me of being cold, wet, tired and eaten alive by the fourteen trillion mosquitoes that live up there.

I did manage to nick the sign off the hippy peace camp though. Swings and roundabouts.
