    We are mad as Luton fans here in the words of Tom Waits.

    Bloody lovely. Scenery looks strangely like LS6 though...

    At least it doesn’t look like LS7 or LS8

    I love Singapore. Spent three nights around the Marina about five years ago. Unbelievable place.

    Always fancied a couple of nights at Raffles, sitting in the bar with a gin sling and a copy of Conrad.
    Just checked the room rates.
    That's not happening any time soon!

    Cleanest, safest and most modern place I've visited. Great light show down at the marina

    I used to live in LS8, some of it isn't bad. Some of it definitely is however.

    LS6 is the place to live. Off the main drag in Peachy Towers, AKA Grange Court. It has 1912 in stone above the door. I knew it was home 12 years ago when I viewed it. To top that there was an "Oakwell Ales" bottle opener left by the previous incumbent. I kid you not.Some things are meant to be. Sadly that did not apply to my wife or girlfriends. I still have the dogs though & my record collection.

    Hope you're not flying from Heathrow.
    If so be prepared for last minute flight delays.
    Mine, not to Singapore sadly, has just been put back 3 hours. Airport hotel I'm in has Scotland and S Yorks finest staying to help with security.

    I live in a loft flat, the security gate & the fire door I have would make it a lot easier to rob someone else.

    I also have a VPN.

    And you get to watch people try and drive (and walk) up the hill on snow days! That’s where I met Will, we were flat mates there for a year at uni.

    I lived there for about a month in 1995, as I prepared a proposal for a government organization.

    I returned in 1996 for about 8 months, when the proposal was accepted.

    I've been many times and I love the place.
