Couple of places I've been unfortunate enough to visit:

Benidorm - cheap beer, st gear.
Zante - bring a book
Sunderland - wasted on the mackems
South Shields - you'll like it if you don't live there

WW2 bunker/fortification at a guess. Cobo is on Guernsey which was occupied by the Germans during the war, there are still various buildings/emplacements over there.

Basingstoke - as seen on Pistonheads.
I no longer live in Basingstoke although I still have a house there, so the argument ain't quite over smile Been working in Barcelona and San Francisco for the last 3 weeks where three of our party got held up at gunpoint, knifepoint and simply robbed by a gang. Yes. I guess all cities have their problems. Off to Vegas on Wednesday, will report back, but if it is as sh*t as the last time I worked there, it will be awful.

Not by choice, but I have just moved to a marina on the south coast, can't say exactly where in in case my bunny boiler wife finds out, but it is like being on holiday full time. Lots of bars and restaurants very locally, need to check out what else it offers, I guess lots of sea. That is the only bit I know from when I used to keep my boat here some years ago.

Moved in when I got off the red eye from SFO yesterday afternoon. So far so good... Bloody tired though.

Hang on hang on! Read your post and you just dropped in at the end you wear make up :-) really? Tell us more please.
Umm, I do!

Have you ever been to Brentwood? It's all pretty normal around there: fake tan, manicures, eyebrow threading and make up. Although it's usually just foundation, bronzing powder, under-eye concealer and perhaps a dash of neutral lip gloss. Eyebrow pencil to make them a bit heavier? Nothing too overt, in my opinion, just a bit of enhancement. Akin to wearing some fancy designer watch, only a hell of a lot cheaper! It's fun, you should try it, many do.
Are you also a lumberjack at weekends?

You know its bad when slanderous comments are used as filler on Jack FM and No legal challenge is mounted to have them taken down. Such gems include

"The producers of CSI Basingstoke have had to cancel the show because all the residents have the same DNA."

"If you are having a Bad day, just remember you could live in Basingstoke"

"And the Best Joke submitted this week is 'Basingstoke'..."

Interspersed with lots or other random things like when Boeing had to ground all the Dreamliners because of the battery fire issue they came out with one about the BFG being hired to help fix the problem.

Where I'm from

Plymouth - Britain’s Ocean City

Pisses me off every time I see it, the only 'Ocean' thing about Plymouth is the BMW dealership!

I much preferred the 'Spirit of Discovery' tagline, even though the furthest most janners venture is Torquay for a night out and a punch up!

I know, I spent a lot of time with my nose pressed against the window of the showroom as a kid. and as an adult.
