    Maybe the rest of the UK wasn't grey enough. Perhaps my edginess and distaste for the gloom of England was there because I was only getting a small taste of the monotone glory that awaits me in Milton Keynes. Or maybe I'll find myself there one day and the clouds will part on my arrival, bringing about a long and fruitful summer for all the townsfolk.

    Either way, the whole discussion is moot because Night Fury won't go within 50 miles of the place. So it'll have to be a pilgrimage I take for myself. A solo journey of discovery and reflection, where Milton Keynes becomes one with me, and I, one with it.

    And have you guys seen the roads? Just look it up on Google Maps (not street view, you need a strong stomach for that) Just look at it! How un-British is that? Oh look at us with our neat criss crossing American grid roads! Get to smurf with that.

    I recommend visiting your local paint store and perusing their 50 shades of grey to understand how grey Milton Keynes is.

    They honestly should have a sign saying "Abandon hope all ye who enter here." It'd make the place more interesting.

    It's massively in need of a Splatoon squad to give it some colour.

    Yeah I forgot that everything in your tiny country is within 50 miles of everything else. My larger point still stands though.

    Look man, I'm trying to save you from yourself here. It's like if someone said "Oh boy, I've just found the best place to store my forks - this power outlet!" You slap them round the back of the head and give them a firm no. It's just the decent thing to do as a human being.

    I've been! Frodo didn't say "oh hey you know where was fun? Mount Doom, let's do that trout again" did he?

    I appreciate that, but for all I know I have to electrocute myself in Milton Keynes to make up for all of England's sins. You don't tell Ghandi not to starve himself for what he believes in and you don't stop a man visiting Milton Keynes if he is called by a force stronger than himself.

    Some horrible things in life just have to be witnessed in person. Otherwise the full force of grey cannot be truly realised.

    Cause Frodo was a bitch. On the other hand Bilbo was like "I'm getting the hell out of the shire and heading off with the Elves baby!!

    ...Straight to Milton Keynes! Let's smurfing go Elrond!"

    And they were both so horribly scarred from the experience they had to go to Valinor (my vote is Stratford-upon-Avon) for a short recuperation period of forever.

    One of these years I might actually be back in the UK for one of these gatherings.

    MK isn't THAT bad. It has... uh... that indoor ski slope! And shopping centres! And that tacky Indian restaurant that looks like a miniature Taj Mahal! And a theatre!
