Grimtown!! Shhhhhhh......maybe not........
America is the big dumb-ass Goliath! Britain is the very clever parasite feeding off it's back! Slurp slurp slurp.....sucking on it's very neck... ! Let's be serious, there is NO culture in the USA! Not like in the UK wayheyahmatefuckingkickyerheadin? Puffed up arrogant runt! No Orson Welles, Burroughs, Hemingway, Ginsberg, Bellows, Dylan, Poe, Monk, Zinn, Davis, Paglia, Armstrong, Fitzgerald (two actually), Brando, Chomsky, Bey, Capote, Bernstein, Gershwin, Cassavetes, Mailer, Ali, Twain, Malcolm X, Vonnegut, Bowles, Bird, Sontag, Coltraine, Faulkner, Lynch...to name a few!
Nope, they all came from Australia!
With the giant dumb dork America, at least one can feed along ones journey and get a good view along the way, into the valley of darkness! The parasite UK is just one sad dark poxy miserable wet arse island that sucks you dry! Sucking you into it's very grey miserable cold wet shittyness! Cue trumpets! You know London? That faked inflated bloated farce! London, the not so funny clown, that nicks your wallet! The wide boy! The biggest rip off whore merchant in the entire universe! The leach that sucks you dry! The bitch that don't deliver! The place, only the rich can live! The blood sucker, ever so intelligent freak! One big sucking vacuum black hole arse!!!!! They'll be charging you to walk the pavements soon enough, charging for the very air you breath!
Phew!
I love the place really! We love the things we hate! Just had to get that off my chest! And stand up for America for once, damn it!
London? What I miss? In no particular order:
Curry, cider, friends, friends who can fix computers, my PC, collaborations, my bike, proper live music, the canals, markets, Bardolph Rd, the garden, my bedroom and in particular the sofa in the bay window, Ricks speakers, Black folk, Asians, Eastern Europeans, multi-culturalism, the melting pot, sandwiches, buffalo mozzarella, humour, comedy, my cook books, my art books, fish & chips, quirkiness, eccentricities, discoveries, The Thames, Arsenal.
I almost forgot, beans on toast!

Sorry if I offended anyone, I take it all back!
This whole idea of national identity is a bit worrying anyway!
Nationalism is a reversion to tribalism, no? Or, like Nazism, Communism and Jacobinism - nationalism is a modern phenomenon. Phenomenon dodoodadodo! Phenomenon doo doo daaah doo!
