    Texas.

    Only queers and steers come from Texas, and you ain't got horns.

      Silicon Valley.

      Flat, dull & no chicks.

      You know what they say about assumptions!

          Tenerife.

          Imagine a welsh slag heap under a giant sunbed. And then make beer 50p a litre.

            I bet you've been up Brokeback Mountain a few times.

              Tell me. I must know.
              German Christmas Markets. And some people do 4-day coach tours of these

                WTF? Madrid - it's an awesome city - unless you go in the middle of summer, then maybe it's a touch hot.

                And while I'm at it, Rio fecking rocks and Texas has some very enjoyable parts (Austin and San jose I'd rate highly). Jamaica seemed ok - then again I was in an all inclusive 5 * resort (Work weekend away trip - damn I liked working for that options firm).

                And my bit of London is clean, and relatively crime free.

                Over-rated , hmm. Tuscany - it's beautiful, and I'm sure if you stay in a private Villa it's everything you dream of, but the never ending cars and coach loads of tourists took away a lot of the magic for me.

                    Both Nice and Cannes.

                    I enjoyed Brussels though but I didn't have any preconceptions before I went.

                    Los Angeles was the weirdest by far, ok for a short term gig but not to live.

                      Actually agree with that, LA is easily the most over rated place I've been to.
