Alrighty then. This week's Friday Five bored the heck out of me, so I am not going to bother.

Well, I'll answer question #2, because it amused me a little.

2.Where do you consider to be the biggest hell-hole on earth?

That would be Hull, which being a border town to a province with a higher drinking age, is a haven for drunken teenagers, crawling from bar to bar, waiting for their lives to start . It is scuzzy and yucky, and once the weekend revelers clear out, it is just plain sad. Although they did try to spruce the place up by putting in a major museum. It didn't help much. Once a person hits 19, they try their hardest never to visit again. Oh yeah, and it's the place where I was once trapped in a bar until 5 am, while the police tried to subdue some idiot who was waving a gun out on the sidewalk, threatening to kill the first person to leave the building.

Although it ranks as the number one hell hole in my book, I must admit that it does hold some fond memories for me, in that teenage-rite-of-passage sort of way. Even so, I don't think I will be visiting any time soon.
