    Well there is that aspect of course, other than that it's a bit too modern for my personal taste, no old town or anything like that to feast your eyes on. Thats why i love traveling a lot.

    That only seems so to the tourists because they typically wish to be in the Reeperbahn area. A red-light district tends to be sleazy, which is exactly the type of kick many visitors seek. I keep away from Sankt Pauli and certain other quarters and enjoy what is a mostly clean and IMO the most beautiful big city in Germany.

    @Thunderfinger reminds me of a study amongst students to what kind of architecture they liked and how they felt. Most of them liked natural, organic shapes and green surroundings. The exeption: architect students.....

    That's why they turn up attrocious buildings all the time, they've been trained to do so.

    Another interesting read for you:

    Why do people stand on the bus when there are available seats? Blocking the way for others. Why do you do that, morons?

    That is fantastic! My favourite Bond film on the big screen. Would definitely be pulling a sickie from work if I was you! Hope you can get along to it.

    Unacceptable! Does my creative writing teacher know anything?
  • Well thanks for spoiling the ending to 50 First Dates, PropertyOfALady's creative writing teacher! I was going to get around to that eventually...

    Motorcyclists on the other side of the road that always veer onto your side of the road when overtaking traffic. If it's all the same, I'd rather avoid a head-on crash so please stop doing that.

    People not using zebra crossings or traffic islands but cross a few feet in front of them. LOL

    Eric Serra's music when Bond is racing Xenia. That "blip blop" music is so crappy and annoying.

    And of course the most annoying thing of all time... cyclists never/rarely stopping at red lights. Ergh. I think all bikes should get number plates, be taxed and insured!

    Ladies and Gentlemen, The Magic Roundabout. And no, no Dougal involved here. But you might need Zeebeedee's help getting out of one.

    A woman at work confessed during lunch that she had smoked cannabis once, when she was young. An older woman burst out. "WHAT??? HOW COULD YOU DO SOMETHING SO STUPID???"

    I think the older woman needs a good seeing to.
