Apparently if you fill some old pop bottles with water and place them in different parts of your garden it stops the cats coming in.The neighbours cat always shitting in my garden.

You need to find a different masseuseAnything for the weekend sir?
In all fairness they're like therapists for those in need.
I'm usually so knackered it's like a massage that sends me to sleep.
Dead posh that - always scared of getting a stiffy if some other women touches me !Anything for the weekend sir?

especially if you 'place' them where the cat is currently sitting.Apparently if you fill some old pop bottles with water and place them in different parts of your garden it stops the cats coming in.
You should try it in a different country.I'm probably in the minority but getting your hair cut at the barbers and having to make small talk. Just cut my hair in silence please

Dentists can be just as bad for small talk. But the worst thing is when you are asked a question and your mouth is full of dental implements.
And the answer to any question has to be "ah ink oh".

No. The only thing that would attract me to teaching is the notional holiday allowance.Have you considered a career as an English teacher?

You picked the wrong place to go in the USA.I'm just back from a week in New York and have a plethora of grievances with the people and the city.
First off, it's an absolute fucking rip off. $8-10 for a beer and the best part is that they serve pints in 400ml measures so you're getting double screwed. That's just the tip of the iceberg though. Restaurants / cafes etc charge ludicrous amounts and once you add in tips and tax the bill is enough to make you cry. We stopped at one place and got one medium pizza and two beers which came to $55.
In a cafe they added in 20% gratuity onto the bill and had the cheek to leave space for an additional tip.
The whole place is only fit for the rich and tourists with cash to burn.
Then there's the constant beggars and scam artists to deal with on a daily basis plus the dead eyed unfriendly locals and unrelenting humidity and smell of piss.
It does have it's upsides. The comedy clubs are amazing and the views are truly breathtaking but don't think I'll ever go back. I much prefer laid back European places like Krakow.

I don't really get the love affair with New York, or any similar city like London. Too busy, noisy, dirty and expensive. Only tend to visit those places if I'm going for an event and then its in and out.
I'd spoken with a few people who lauded New York and said it was the best place in the world and my girlfriend was mad to get over so I gladly agreed.
As soon as I got off the bus in midtown I knew it wasn't going to be all it was cracked up to be. Black bin bags were piled high outside every restaurant or shop. Aggressive looking people loitering around and massive amounts of people everywhere. Then I went into a shop to buy a bottle of water and was charged $4...
Nearly every bar in Manhatten was some faux Irish bar called O'(insert Irish name) that was run by Mexicans and they were mostly deserted too. We walked around Manhatten looking for decent bars and they were hard to come by.
Times Square was awful. A massive neon shit hole filled with gawping tourists and scam artists. I was called racist four times for failing to buy blank CDs off "rappers"
We also went to see the Yankees not realising the stadium is slap bang in middle of the hood. It made Hillfields look like a Utopian dream.
I think I'll try the US again but stay away from the big cities.
Yep, exactly the same type of experience I encountered.I'd spoken with a few people who lauded New York and said it was the best place in the world and my girlfriend was mad to get over so I gladly agreed.

So you didn't expect New York City to have massive amounts of people?I'd spoken with a few people who lauded New York and said it was the best place in the world and my girlfriend was mad to get over so I gladly agreed.

NYC is great for museums, art galleries and theatre, none of which it sounds like you are into.
Go 25 miles north into Westchester County or a bit further into Putnam County.
There you'll find leafy suburbs, far less people, plenty of interesting things to see and do do and cheaper beer.
Or go out to New Jersey, Long Island or Connecticut all easily reachable by train from NYC.
Since you critised New York City (actually just Manhattan since that appears to be all you visited), I was merely pointing out it does have attractions that many people enjoy.I expected to see a lot of people but New York is massively over populated. To the point where it's uncomfortable. Queues everywhere for everything.
I went to a show on Broadway and to a few museums. It was nothing you couldn't get in any major city.
I'm not sure why you're giving me retroactive advice on where to go on the outskirts of New York but thanks anyway. Once my time machine works I'll put it to good use.
