Describe the lifestyle where you are living! (Page 1 of 4)

Don't come to Scotland, you're not welcome here.

I live in Milton Keynes, England. Life is pretty lazy here, maybe because I'm still a student, but it can be a bit boring sometimes. There's not a lot to do so young people go to the shopping centre and mooch about, older people stay at home. I think there's about one nightclub if that's what you are into, and it plays drum 'n' bass, r 'n' b, chart stuff. If you were coming from a big city with loads of stuff going on (New York maybe?) you would probably find it hard to adjust to the lack of stuff happening, if you're from the countryside it's probably a good urban area for city-newbs since it's pretty much impossible to get lost. Chipmusic scene is just me and maybe two other guys I've never spoken to, but there's a good scene for dubstep and rocky metally stuff. Big theatre which puts on some good stuff, a cinema, blah blah normal things you would expect from a large town. My lifestyle personally is spent inside on chipmusic.org and IRC, but you could probably do something else if you wanted to. Overall verdict of where I live: 6/10, there are better places to go so don't bother coming here.

Good things:

green town, new town, fairly clean town, small enough that I can walk/cycle anywhere, nice block layout of roads with roundabouts (which I like even though I don't drive), incredibly good network of proper sized cycle paths for cyclists ("redways"), walking distance from the countryside (fields and a nice forest), concrete cows, hour by train from London.

Bad things:

pretty boring sometimes, could be very hard to make friends if you just moved here (couldn't everywhere, though?), doesn't always feel that safe (as with most urban areas, I expect), music scene is not great.

Sorry for such a massive post!

in the south of america, it is cheap and easy to survive, and you learn to live harmoniously with rednecks and christians

all you need to know about MK
you can ignore the rest of ant1's post. this is reason enough to move here.

Back when Milton Keynes was being built (first started in 1967 I think), someone thought it would be a good idea to make some cows out of concrete, and now they've become a kind of icon or mascot for our town... being sarcastic when saying that's a reason to come here, though!

Everything

Nothing

As you can see Texas is the new New York as far as chiptune goes

I like my town in terms of a place to live (I know that the guys from Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne will disagree with me here ) but it's not exactly the most exciting place on Earth. Especially not if you chiptune.
