Now, London and Paris are pricey whatever is going on.

Venice is just crazy for prices...I'm thinking of Sorrento next possibly.

As if our decisions here will change the status of someone on the other side.

Yeah, god will surely think: Hey the beatified him...well John from now on you'll be something special here.

EDIT

Hmm no Skybird in here yet?

I love that part of the world. Napoli is a crazy old town but I really liked it. Capri, the Amalfi coast, Pompeii. Wish I was there right now. I'd like to go to Sorrento next time I'm down that way.

Strange, huh London is a much bigger city and has thus more citizens living, I have also never claimed that Stockholm is more than just London in question, but ..... the beer tastes better and the girls are more willing,

You've obviously been to the wrong places in London

I had a strange argument with someone on another board about London a few months ago. He kept going on about how all the food was terrible and he could never find anything he wanted to eat. That blew me away. I would imagine there are more places to eat, catering to a wider range of tastes, than anywhere else in Europe. Having said that, my favourite place to eat in London is a little Kebab shop in Southwark. It's brilliant.

I remember an American gentleman I knew who ranted at me about how bad British food was. He kept going on about how awful the meal was he'd had when he was in London. Turned out he'd gone to Harry Ramsden's in Soho...Honestly, he's basing his views on a fast food chip shop in the most touristy part of the entire city. That's like basing a dislike of the English language on the fact that 'The DaVinci Code' wasn't a very good novel.

Now, where did John Paul go? I'm sure he was around here when we started...

He has heard your prayers and will soon go back to square one

Huge lemons too.

No, where is it? We went to a place in the centre of Napoli, and bought our own food from local grocers in Capri (heck of a difference in prices).
