Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Mick, go somewhere that you can spell, LOL! Those Welsh towns are a mouthful. When we were looking in the southwest for a motel there was one for sale in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. I said we couldn't go there, cos we'd always have trouble spelling it. Like here?

Limey 242 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Don't knock nicked vowels - there is a town near here called Hamtramck (pronounced Hamtramuck), and another, Ypsilanti! (But you don't want to live in either!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dgbrit 258 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Brian i dont think i could put up with all the shootings, drug dealers & Gang bangers your side Can you have a concealed weapon permit like here ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 I live near Detroit and have never even slightly felt the need for a weapon of any kind - and Detroit makes where Bryan lives look like Disneyworld! If you have need to shoot somebody to feel safe, then I would seriously consider moving! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Living in a city or suburbs I doubt you have any dangerous wildlife Eric, I live in bear country and cougar country, you'd have to be very foolish not to have a high powered rifle just in case.. I hope I never encounter either animals, but at least I am prepared. When I live at Mt Aukum in California, my neighbour up the hill, about 400 feet away had two lions in his yard one afternoon, he was worried about his dogs, but they had taken refuge in a safe place. I also have other large wildcats around here, not as large as cougars, but just as nasty.. Most of the time, most wild animals will stay clear of humans, BUT, I'd sooner be prepared, than walk out the door into the arms of a several hundred pound brown bear who is looking for his dinner and I have no means of defense... There are more critters in the states beside human critters... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Miami is a looooong way from Deltona! Besides, if Miami Vice is the criteria, California HAS to be the most dangerous place in the world - look at all the cop/detective/crime shows that are based there! But that would make Detroit pretty safe too! John - it is hard to carry a rifle as a concealed weapon! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted May 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 My first visit to LA in 95... advice given by an LA Cop friend, on route from LAX to Glendale. "Stay on the darned freeway" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 You stuff it down your pants leg Eric.........LOL But always make sure the safety is on, or it can get pretty painful.....LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Anyway, after watching all those westerns and crime shows, I'd love a gun or rifle like they use, no recoil etc...... Always been a dream owning a recoiless gun. Mine tend to kick like a mule when fired..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dgbrit 258 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 LIMEY what has happend to your sence of humour. BTW my next door neighbour & good friend was one of the cops that was portrayed in that movie The Onion Field.

Trevor S 2,003 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Morning Ayupmeducks, I was thinking more to the east coast of Tassie; that Zeehan is too cold with nothing between it and South America. You in the mines there? Going to Cradle Mountain Lodge for a few days mid week soon...God's country with pure air, great walks, fine wines and good food. Wife and I thinking of moving to Tassie when she retires. Either there or Tumut in NSW (base of the Snowies and where she was born). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 It can't be that bad in the 'Good old US of A' , because no matter who kills you, one of the CSIs or The Mentalist will soon suss out the perpatrators of you unfortunate demise............... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bazza 71 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Bazza, you must not discriminate so much. Our beloved Government opens its arms and our wallets to more than the Afghans. What about the sudanese, iraqis, iranian, malaysian, timorese, chinese, vietnamese, somalian, ugandan, indian, sri lankan, burmese, ethiopian, bhutanese, congolese but to name a few. We are a multi national country and should be proud of the fact that we support so many poor brothers and sisters from foreign lands with cash hand outs, housing, jobs and education at the expense of our own people. Why shouldn't we be forced to respect these poor immigrants and their cultures, religion, dress sense,flags, politics and beliefs just because they do not respect ours even when they are living in this country? Pig Iron Bob would be turning in his grave. Sorry Trev I missed this. I didn't mention the others cos for a start I can't spell most of em and secondly I get typewriter cramp easily these days.

TonyW 0 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I have lived in Newbury Berkshire for just over 5 years. I married a Newbury Gal which i met on the internet. I have always had the wanderlust, and when we got offered this Flat in Newbury I, and the Mrs jumped at the chance. I couldn't wait to get out of Nottingham, it's not the same city i grew up in. I lived in Bulwell when we moved, and i was sick of all the Chavs hanging about on the streets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Hi Trev, it's only a short drive from Zeehan to the Indian Ocean, The west coast gets lots and lots and lots and lots of rain...You get the picture.. I worked for Renison Bell way back then. Tumut is nice, been there many times, and I lived in Wollongong just south of Sydney and Bathurst, just "over the hill" Bathurst was nice large town layout wise with small population, plenty of good shopping, good hospital and schools nice folk. Can get cold in winter but summers are very hot and dry, so they aren't too bad. I live stateside now Trev, been here since 1989. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
