Eco Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 Hate that I missed that. I would have enjoyed reminiscing about some of my favorite cities I have visited.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted May 22, 2020 Subscriber Posted May 22, 2020 Glad St Ives, St Just & Newquay were amongst the names, there are not many beaches that I would rate across here in the UK after living in Australia but the beaches there was ace, another place I forgot to mention was the Isle of Bute, beautiful place, went there for a holiday in the '80s with the wife and kids when they were wee nippers.

If anyone else wants in, you've still got time! Might pay to tag members @Pyfish on your next one, there are loads of members out there I am sure would give a list about anything, it's like @DeadLinesman & @Eco missed this one as they did not spot it.
Toinho Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 Three of mine Made top 10... Went to Paris when I was a kid. Wasn’t impressed (except for Disney) Maybe need to go back as an adult

They had like over a week? Haha but yeh would’ve been interesting to see if it changed the top 10
Lucas Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 I'm not disappointed. My selections were a bit niche so I expected that. Good shouts by most to be fair. Some suggestions for the next one if struggling... Top 10 Favourite last meals to have if on Death Row Top 10 Favourite TV Series Top 10 Alcoholic beverages Top 10 Actors/Actresses

From what I've heard about Paris on here from you guys I won't be suggesting it to my missus any time soon

From what I've heard about Paris on here from you guys I won't be suggesting it to my missus any time soon I went to Paris and thoroughly enjoyed it. Saw all the sites, visited some lovely patisserie's and restaurants, had a picnic near the Eiffel Tower and even experienced Paris in the snow. Beautiful. Different strokes for different folks. I can appreciate it won't be for everyone but I think your experiences vary depending on where you've previously been, your expectations of the city, who you are with etc. Do your own thing. There must be a reason it attracts the visitors it does after all.

Although credit where it's due, @...Dan had some really helpful comments in the holiday thread that helped me plan out what I wanted to do when I went.
nudge Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 Of course it's all subjective. The worst part of Paris for me was how filthy it is compared to other European (and even Asian) cities and how unpleasant most of the people are. Food I found to be very meh but extremely overpriced. It's not some horrible place, and of course your mileage may vary, but I don't like the vibe and don't intend to ever go there again. On the other hand, French suburbs and smaller towns are class.
IgnisExcubitor Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 I am with @Lucas top ten series or actresses/actor next. ...or we could do top ten porn movies. I have list ready for that.

Never been to Egypt, but I can imagine. To be fair, a lot of crowded major cities with high number of locals and tourists tend to have similar problems, especially in countries that aren't rich enough and lack in infrastructure...

We should go Tomb raiding one year... I got this totally legitimate looking map of the Lost City of Gold off the dark web which has promised me untold wealth... It was a steal at only £15,000... because I am not silly I did question them on why they were selling it rather than looking for all that Gold themselves but they said they couldn't afford the flight tickets from Russia so I snapped their hands off.. I have been sitting on it for a year or two to see if any Museums or the like report it as stolen but so far so good...
