    guess who had that room

    Stonehenge
    Taj Mahal
    Colusseum
    Giant redwood trees
    Ayers Rock
    Goodison Park


    most people yearn to visit, but its there when you wake up

    brilliant


    The place I had in Paris had a view of Sacre Coeur.



    just not in your face. I had to lean sideways out of the bedroom window to see it. 'twas a fine sight on a sunny morning.

    Then there was the chap who dined in the Eiffel tower every day. He thought it was a monstrosity and the restaurant was one place he couldn't see it from.

    My dog pulled the head off a puppy this weekend, now that was yucky. You wouldn't even expect a dog to try and eat another dogs babies

    Well they got the basics, UK court decision saying they were outside UK jurisdiction. I was more thinking of the armed invasion by German mercenaries
