Where would I live if I ?????? Rookie needs some help!!!!!

[wsopin07]

There is a possibility that I will move to Europe in August of 2007 after the finish on the 2007 WSOP. The question I have is where would I live and why?  Here are some of the questions that need to be answered, I plan to be in Europe for one year:

1) Travel / I will be playing all EPT and all major comps, I need good transportation
2) Poker / I would think that being close to DTD would make sense
3) Cost / What is the difference between, say, London or Nottingham
4) Car / Would I need one or would I hire CUPCAKE as my fulltime driver
5) Things to do / I want to play golf, sight see, have some fun other than poker
6) Friends & poker players / Where do most poker players live


Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated

1) The Midlands has good road, train, & most importantly, Rail Links, to all of Europe.

2) DTD is in Nottingham, in the Midlands.

3) The East Midlands (Derby & Notts) is the cheapest place in Britain to live as to House Prices. About one third of those in London.

4) Nope, you are a crazy yank driver, don't bother with a car.

5) The Midlands has Britain's best selection & varietty of Golf Courses. But be warned, we have hills......The best countryside, the Peak National Park is just up the road. Nice train stations, too.

6) Thewy lives in nearby Notts, DC 45 mins away in Birmingham, Mr Cool ditto, Maria 30 mins away in Grantham, I'm in Derbyshire. Are there other top players, I think thats all of them?

Get yer fat arse over here. Nice to hear from you yesterday, by the way.

nottingham would be good its cheaper than london and close enough to london/luton and birmingham for day travel also close to EMA (airport) so you can travel round the UK and europe easy

you can fly to the scottish highlands for £35 if you want to sightsee or golf

[RED-DOG]

Anywhere in the midlands, good transport, plenty poker, easy access DTD.

Failing that, anywhere in Yorkshire, gods own country.

[Ironside]

tikay i think you have britain and england mixed up again

[Acidmouse]

Yorkshire is fantastic but the midlands sounds more to suit your needs, lots of places not ness. a city.

Would have to be Ipswich. We have:

No airport
No poker rooms
No hills
No known big poker players
No football team (anymore)
No idea why I live here

No airport

No idea why I live here 

And no Roads. Lots of tractors trundling along "main roads" at 3mph, using red untaxed diesel though, & no licence plates. I love farmers......

Whilst you say Europe, reading between the lines I think you actually are considering Britain (mention of DTD, London etc).

1) Any city of any size will be close enough to an airport to get you direct to places like Copenhagen, Dortmund etc.
2) Well, then, that's Nottingham, isn't it?
3) London is more expensive than elsewhere, but unless you want to live in the arsehole of nowhere like Middlesbrough then no place is cheap. Especially with the crowbar-beating the dollar is taking on the exchange markets, when you convert sums in your head you'll get a heart attack.
4) In London, no. I live here and have never even learnt to drive. You'd only need one if you have young kids. Out in the sticks a car is needed as the public transportation is a bit hit and miss. Of course, you'll already know how much of a pain London taxi drivers are...
5) Golf courses are everywhere, so are fun things. There are more fun things in London, but there's more of everything in London.
6) Most poker players live with their heads in the clouds, but with their souls in the gutter.

Hope this helps.

Good to see you used the phrase "main roads" in its loosest sense! Anyway, Rookie might like tractors?
