Question for UK
So, hypothetcially, lets say you were a lower middle class male in Texas, bailing to the UK. What part of England would you look for a flat? Or even another part of the UK, like Ireland.
Litereally all this hypothetical male knows about the UK and Britain is what he knows from Top Gear, Black Books, Spaced, Father Ted, Mitchell and Webb, and Green Street Hooligans. Any advice about the different people that TEND (Im not asking you to disctimiate and lump all people into a basket) to live in what places.
Yeah, we wouldn't want to do that.

"Am I cruel? Probably. Is she an idiot? Yes." -jane s.
Lower middle class? You won't last long in the UK. You'll be out of money in no time.

Dagenham. Croydon. Merthyr Tydfil.
Funny blog in your sig, 188416. You should start hanging around again.
Hi Amy!
I second this. Although, I think you'd fit in around Glasgow.
Hi! I miss you guys. I'm in shock someone actually looked at my blog, a cool person too.
Juggalo might also like Ebw Vale!
Please be less of a stranger.
*Waves frantically at Amy*
The UK is boring and shitty. But the more north you can go in english-speaking europe the better. Also purchase a gun.
How dare you!
... I must say I'm starting to agree 
It's okay. Lots of places are.
Where do you hail from? Was it Croydon?
You guys! I'm smiling. Imke is the cutest!
Juggalo might also like Ebw Vale!
You guys see that? An OG cultie thinks I'm cool. MUST BE TRUE. Adjust your actions accordingly, please.
Anyway, based on that last blog post, I would like you around. I'm Jessica, by the way.
Anyway anyway, I can't be helpful in this thread because almost none of the cities mentioned sound like real places to me. Sorry, Rando.
You will also want to read up on how US constitutional law differs from the law in the UK and its territories. Just a suggestion.
Also, I've never been bored anywhere I've been.
This is why we can't have nice things.

Weathertop, Edoras, and maybe Lothlorien if you can afford it.
NERD!
I also really want to live in the UK, but I can't decide between Manchester where my dad is from, or York where my mom is from.
It's like Richard III in my brain.
You know in all the years I've been here I've never been sigged?
If York weren't so cold and Warwick didn't exist, I would've totally applied to their university. I think it's beautiful, though. Also, it's cool that you have British parents.
I like Manchester United over York City. That's me solving your conundrum, Mckay.
I don't like you anymore, Jessica.
I knew you would say that! But what can I say... Manchester is where it's at.
You knew? Who do I cheer for?
For the record, I don't choose the teams I like based on the players' fuckability BUT I have a sister who's the only reason I'm into soccer at all and she was in love with Cristiano Ronaldo circa early 2000's. This might be at the root of things.
I just felt like someone would give me shit for saying that.
And Barcelona, duh. That's it though. I don't know your others.
Wrong. Arsenal. And Cristiano Ronaldo is SO NOT FUCKABLE. I'm more of a Zidane kinda girl 
You know what, I'll agree with you about Ronaldo and Zidane. And really, that's what's important.
Wait, no... but still...
Ahem. For the record, Ronaldo played for Man U, not Man City.
Snucka.

She said United.
WHOA. She totally did. I should learn to read.
I was so anxious to make fun of Labelleza that I couldn't perform basic literary function.
You know in all the years I've been here I've never been sigged?
S'okay. No one here pays you to read.
It's like Richard III in my brain.
They are both very different places. But for arguments sake, i'd say York. 'Madchester' is well and truly over after all.
York was a nice city in 1993, when I worked at a Tesco there for a summer. People have strong accents there though.
That's because they're foreigners.
I really have nothing else to add beyond what I said before except "Fuck soccer" and "I participated!"
This is why we can't have nice things.
What's wrong with soccer?
It's like Richard III in my brain.
Nah, you. You are moving to Portland. Already promised.

I haven't read the blog, but the rest of that, that is how I feel around here most days. Still think I am a newb and am in awe that people like me and I also think all these places everywhere are make believe.
YaY
They have fuckable players? Unlike any mainstream american sports.
So how is that a problem?

well rugby I can get behind if you know what i mean
Not a problem at all. I should have quoted tuffy too, but I am super lazy about the effort of multiquoting.

Women's Volleyball is more manly than Soccer, btw.
Soccer =
Player 1: "Oh noes, you looked ate me crossly" *falls down, grabs shin*
Player 2: "What, I..."
Referee: *red card*
You want to make soccer less effeminate? Yo have to do this to it:
Same sport. Played on ice. With sticks. No cards. Fist-fighting is not only encouraged, if the other player drops his gloves, you *have* to throw punches at the sonofabitch's head or you will get penalized. That's a fucking sport. Canada, I salute you.
This is why we can't have nice things.
I think it's difficult to be interested in soccer if you didn't grow up with it. I could watch a match that ends with a 0-0 tie and still be into it the entire time. Their penalty bullshit aside.
Then I watched the Mavericks (my hometown's basketball team) win their first NBA title ever, ever, ever last year after watching them get their ass kicked against the same team several years ago and... eh... it was okay.
Too, I do not get the attraction of basketball at any level.
This is why we can't have nice things.
You really want to live in Kilmarnock, Scotland. Beautiful place.
