Or maybe I don't mind a bit of grime?

Those look my grand children when they see a puddle

Number 8 has special memories. A long time ago in the UK at a football (soccer) match. One of my best mates had travelled about 4hrs to get to the match and seen his way through several cans of beer along the way. We met at a pub and sat outside in the glorious sunshine and soaked up a few more beers.

Now, at the time my team had a French player who was part of the World Cup winning French team just a few months before. Great player but hadn't really shown it in the number 8 red and white shirt. My mate was particularly critical of him, calling him a lazy campaigner and making comments like "if that's all it takes to win a world cup". He was on this guy's back relentlessly all day, displaying some colourful language.

We were sat behind the dugouts and when the substitutes started warming up the the official came out with the number board to make the substitution, he amped it up. Eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, get off the pitch you lazy ****ing twat. And so on. Anyway, he wasn't the player substituted, so the ranting continued. He also managed to spill the contents of a meat pie down the back of the guy sat in front but thankfully the guy didn't notice. Still the ranting continued.

Until the last minute of the game when the player rammed in a worldie from 30 yards out and we won the game 1-0. My mate got some polite applause from the fans around us but was surprisingly quiet on the way home.

"Occasional controversy" is a yuge understatement

2775, shouldn't everyone be getting around in hover cars or something?

I started in 2000. On a previous map I'm into the 3000s giggle

Here's another couple of screenies, a plane in the sky, & the 2nd biggest town; Alero Seco:

 

[Mobbs]

Btw I renamed all the towns after invented place names from my long forming collection.

Waltons fans like judge judy might appreciate how Alero Seco is formed from rearranging letters in Martha-Rose Coverdale

North Fitzroy is very pleasant but Fitzroy proper is grimy, full of graffiti and housing commission flats. I lived there for a year (Kerr Street in an old chocolate factory) and it was OK for a few months but I moved out.
Good place to eat or visit but not to live.

Yeah, the closer you get to the city, the worse the graffiti gets. It’s a blight on society, in my opinion. It’s not “art”, it’s destruction of property. They should be fined quite heavily then forced to clean it off. The antique row houses, tiny streets, The Napier Hotel…such a great place for history.

I lived on Brunswick St Fitzroy for several years, two different ends of the street, decades ago, great place to live. These days it's very la di da so I'm not sure about it being all that grimy these days.

I look at everything through a tourist’s perspective.

Good source of click bait if people see they are being patted on the back, praised…….

And, I have an avocado that better be ripe by tomorrow afternoon!
