Seriously?
I was pretty sure it would go to Hull - look at the competition.
Leicester - it's a pleasant (if you like cities) city with a lot of history. Met some good people from there.
Dundee - Been there, nothing special. Has dolphins, which is a plus.
Swansea - As Dylan Thomas said: "It's a pretty, sh*tty city". I leave out the comma.
Dundee and Swansea aren't in England, so they stood no chance - NI got it last time. Worse, Dundee might not even be in the UK in 2017...
And Hull? It has no discernable culture so it had to win, if only to persuade the locals that mooning each other outside the pub is "cultural"

And they say the Humber bridge is the only bridge that goes from nowhere to nowhere.

Isn't culture the convex hull of living together?

It could have been Dundee!

That would have been really funny - "UK City of Culture 2017" is not actually in the UK in 2017 if the vote goes against Cameron...

Mmmm, The Who recorded a live album there (in the city hall?) and it went wrong what we got was Live At Leeds. Also I bet there are a few 'cultures' growing in the a city of Alcoholics & Druggies. It from your description has a style 'Chav' (pass the Burberry!)

On the upside, they do have Kingston Telecom, or KTL, or whatever they are called now.

I know the US is in a time zone behind the UK; however, it's still 2013 in the US. How did we get 4 years behind?
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I don't want to get to 4 years behind, I want to get to Carnegie Hall, how do I get there?

I don't suppose they mean lactobacillus acidophiles; but from what you've all said it's probably closer than the culture you'd find in New York, London, or Paris.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

London and Paris are steeped in culture, they are the Rome and Athens of civilisation.
The Natural History Museum, The Globe Theatre, Covent Garden Opera House, Sadlers Wells. Royal Albert Hall, Shakespear in the Park etc etc etc!

...and even Luton has at least one decent pub?

We have one near here like that, the city of Needles, CA. The only reason they called it Needles is because nobody there knew how to spell 'hypodermic.' It has everything - poverty, drugs, unemployment, welfare, crime. About the only thing it lacks is a second 's' after its name.

At work i am working alone on the only remaining c++ project. But now new we started working on a new project in c#. So i am writing one of its projects (I pity my coworkers for working with me on the same project) and i was thinking "Oh i will make The class A private so it will be used only with the Class B and just use friend" but of course M$ had other ideas.
Today was a good day i found another reason to dislike C Sharp.
So i wonder what makes you people like or dislike C Sharp

Me too. Also, it's not VB so it has to be likable.

I like it. If you stop thinking "cut down C++" and consider it as a separate language in it's own right, it is very good - in some ways a lot better than C++ in that it is a lot harder to write impenetrable cr@p in C# than it is in C++.
If you want a class that is only available to Class B, then declare it as private and part of the B Class:
public class B
{
private class A
{
...
}
A a = new A();
}

Yes i know about that way but the bosses above said that the file is getting too large for the functions and they have to be moved to a new class and file :/ because it is getting too complicated :/
