Apparently they're going to show Team America: World Police at the
cinema they're building, too.

Go to MK you pill. It houses condensation vapour from the armpit of
London. Try taking a walk around the grave new whoreld.

Pill or airhead, it's all the same.

I think that their respondant, Chris (from Luton) said most of it:

****
Haven't the people of Najaf suffered enough?! Does this historic city
realise what they've bargained for: roundabouts, faceless
"boulevards", joy riders in cars with under-chassis lighting,
chequered caps, extortionate parking costs, a shopping mall the size
of Albania and a no-frills cinema that looks like a pyramid.

And dribble? Far worse than anything else.

Absolutely. There are some great vistas in the rear view mirror as
you pull onto the M1 ;-)

It wasn't harsh, it's what you should expect from that source :-)

At least you're not living in the same place as it!

I'm sure they have senile dribblers like you in MK too.

live in a soulless tatty Surrey town with a nutter home in it.

The planners did a superb job. It is internationally recognised as a major
planning success story, and they are doing a major extension of the centre
too with tower cranes up. This goes against the original concept of low
rise. I used to go there a lot on business and grew fond of the place. I
love the grid road system and the roundabouts. 60 to 70mph everywhere. The
best road system in Europe. No houses are on the grid, just bushes and
trees. At the weekend it comes alive and buzzes. The greenest city I have
ever been to, full of lakes. I read that two or three SSIs are in MK.

Last month I drove past the new stadium being built by Wimbledon. It looks
big.

MatC, only the ignorant dislike MK. You will find most who don't like it
have never been there, or just driven around the grid and you see nothing
from the grid except trees and bushes so think nothing is there. Those who
live there love it. Great design.

Berkshire, actually, and the nutter home is some miles away. What did
you say your postcode was?

Follow the thread. Dr Drivel is the culprit in terms of deliberately
mixing identities. Talk to him about it.

As far as having double figure IQ is concerned, if you are more
comfortable with other people in that category, you will have to look
further...

I whole heartedly agree,

My (late) Dad who used to work for MKDC (Milton Keynes Development
Corporation) used to say that the high rise buildings were completely
against the original design principles of Milton Keynes. It was always meant
to be a low rise, low impact town.
The new "Sky Diving" centre for example is quite hideous, however, there are
only one or two ugly things to detract from what really is a well designed
and pleasant town.
The grid roads work well, (Just stay away from Ikea), I for example can get
to work in 10mins, travelling from one side of town to the other.
People need to look inside the town, not just skim through and decide all
the roundabouts look the same.
The new stadium is big, not really sure what they'll do with it though, the
2000 or so MK Dons fans will be able to have an entire row of seats each,
although I'm sure it will make a fine venue for the weekly car boot sale.
