Galway 300 pubs in walking distance , seemingly continuous festivals one after the other , wide choice of music every night of the week , the sea the river the lake . Pity about the weather and the traffic though .

There's nothing to enjoy about living in Basingstoke.
You don't live in basingstoke , you live in one of them nice villages outside it .
Anyhow basingstoke is fine its a major junction , just get down the station jump on the next train that pulls in and see where it takes ya , thats always an enjoyable thing to do in basingstoke .
