the world has many cities. this is one of them.

the wikipedia page on stoke-on-trent indicates that it is in england. whether it will be in england in the near future is up to debate. perhaps, by then, i will have fulfilled my destiny to become the tyrannical ruler of that sad, decrepit poor excuse of a country. also scotland and wales and stuff, those places too. anyways, stoke-on-trent, a lot to say. they are known for pottery. i went to a pottery class once, i made a sad vase with sad flower flourishes on the handles. it broke when my 6'2 200 lbs brother violently pushed me to the ground. it hurt a lot. and i became really sad, even if in never liked pottery that much. but the fine people of stoke-on-trent likes pottery so much that they make a whole lot of it. and you can go there and buy it and they will be happy because live in england and don't have any money, supposedly because of immigrants (but we all know it is because they can't rule themselves, that's why they need me)

interestingly enough, stoke on trent while a city does not look or feel like a city at all. in fact, it feels like an amalgamation of five town. because it is an amalgamation of five towns, these being: turnhill, bursley, hanbridge, knype, and longshaw. of these, bursley is the oldest, having has "an antiquity of a thousand years". hanbridge is the largest. all however, are "seemingly remote from romance." awwwww, poor thingg... no matter where you are in in the "five towns," despair reigns. it is a place where landlords squeeze tenants to their untimely demise, where non-racially inferior german spies murder innocent alberts, where the pollutants of the kilns, coal mines, and steelworks were replaced with the misery of joblessness. stoke on trent, however, is not to be bogged down by the problems of its past and present, soon it will grow and prosper (as much as a british city can), showing all the doubters what stoke on trent is really about

as i delve deep into the lore of this city, one name seems to come up time and time again. robert peter williams, commonly known by the british simply as robbie williams. mr. williams is big. like really big. he sold 56.4 million records (in certified units), more than artists like bob marley and aretha franklin. robbie was initially in this pop group called take that where he would sing from 1990 to 1995. he mostly did backing vocals for the group, which i guess he didn't like and had this feeling that it's time for him to give up. he went on to release his debut album life thru a lens, and released the song angels which became really popular. but when he was lying in his bed, thoughts running through his head, he decided to join with his boys at take that again, some time in 2010. then he left again, and became a chimpanzee. it is also worth mentioning that he is 49% sometimes 50% homosexual. which i support so so much
