Oh bullshit. Returning home to regroup is not necessarily a failure, returning home with tail between legs and giving up is. If you try and fail you get up and try again, and again, and a-fucking-gain. You truly have failed only when you quit.

I agree, but only up to a point - one could argue that people who keep on trying and failing at the same thing repeatedly are a bigger failure than those who after a while realise they are waisting their time and decide to try something else from which they stand a better chance of succeeding.

The majority of employers would look to sending you back out East!

But sadly, Lancashire holds no pleasant memories for me...Phuket or Preston? Where would you rather be? Lancaster or Koh Lanka? And the girls...well no doubt Lancashire has a few Rosy Cheeked Buxom Beauties!.. but I know where I would rather be!

You just have to be joking:-


Tell me about it, Lancashire is spectacular.


Like this.




There are some really outstanding homes in the area as well.



This one below is a listed building which has just been totally renovated in accordance with the strictest of rules that apply to the same.

A nice looking property.



Houghton towers:-

This is a really nice pub in The Village of Hoghton.

The Boars head, it has just been totally refurbished,
it's just a mile and a half or so up the road to
the north from the Castle.

It has always served a nice pint and dished up a bloody good meal.




An additional country road snap,
I love them, but you have to drive
carefully and be extremely cautious.





You can't touch this!




Well!





Used to be my local.



Chorley Lancashire:-

Another nice one here,
folk are astounded when you show them
the sea on a clear day.



New development just south of Preston.


Flats from around £90K




Houses From around £120K


And there's more:-


This one is from the Higher Walton area.
There are some fantastic country lanes and
gorgeous properties in this part of The Ribble Valley,

We keep it wrapped though





The old Roman Town of Ribchester is exceptional.




You just don't come across many places
like this it's beauty and simplicity is outstanding.




Quack, quack, quack...


Phucket or Preston?

Don't be silly.



When you're down on your luck,

And you ain't got a Quid

Or a Baht or a Buck

In Phuket, you're a goner.

Even Puckett’s Mainland Bridge'

Is falling down

And moved to Macedonia

We all know why.

I'll substantiate the rumour,

That the Thailand sense of humour,

Is drier than the Southport sand.

You can put up your dukes,

You can bet your boots,

I'll be leaving here as fast as I can.

I wanna be home with a Lancashire Hotpot

Red Cabbage and HP Sauce and

Good Heinz Beans

The Friendliest people

And the Prettiest Women

You've ever seen.


Well it’s hot over there, and I just swear

I wish they’d turn the heat off

Cos When a Mancunian thinks

He’ll take a chance

Chances will be taken

That’s for sure

And in Somchai’s eyes

He was eyeing the prize

I’d just see as manly footwear,

If he wants my clogs,

I’ll kick him with his hogs

And he won’t even put a foot there!

So I decided last year I’d get my clogs and jeans
　
And a Taxi down to Puckett’s airport

Cos I’m going home to

The Lancashire Hotpot

Red Cabbage and HP Sauce

And Real Heinz Beans

The Friendliest People
And the

Prettiest Women You’ve ever Seen


I'm going home to The Lancashire hotpot.......
