My answer has to be "anywhere I haven't been yet". There are far too many to list. Everywhere I've been so far has been worthwhile in its own way, so I'm sure I could stick a pin at random into an atlas and get something out of whatever destination it chooses.
Antarctica is the only continent I haven't been to yet, so that's definitely one.
I loved Norway, Minx. Get on a boat down the fjords and be prepared to stand there staring with your mouth wide open.
Easter Island is tiny and not terribly easy to get to, but well worth the effort. Hire a car (you'd only need it for a day) and wander at your own pace. And give yourself a bit of time in Santiago on the way back.
I'd want to get a lot fitter than I am before tackling Machu Picchu. It looks a bit
vertical.
In no particular order,
Prospero's Books
Brazil
Life is Beautiful
The City of Lost Children
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
And another hundred or so that I can't think of right now.

And iPod. Well, that's just an iPod. That's its name. I wouldn't know what else to call it.

Music box.

Well, they may be put off when I say, "exactly same as yesterday" :rascal:

That only puts people off if it isn't 'nothing'.
Umm... and I am wearing what I was yesterday redface
There are rooms that are good for a chat. You just have to know where to go, and when. And have the courage to dive in and start chatting with people who all seem to know each other already. That's always the hard bit.
It needs more of an effort than a lot of people want to put into it - and fair enough, life is too short.
You people are weird.
Pizza is so awesome that I haven't yet encountered anything that can't be put on it. Fortunately, the rest of the world is sufficiently unenlightened that I can order ham and pineapple and anchovies and have the whole thing to myself.
Eggs should be cooked. If the yolk is runny, the egg isn't cooked.
All food can be improved by adding chillies.
Grape and salt and vinegar crisp sandwiches should be wrong, but are strangely right.
Carrots might be the exception to the pizza rule. Carrots don't go with anything.

How do you know that Paxman doesn't have a really kinky side?

Governments will fall if you ever decide to publish your diaries, I'm sure :-)
Oh, go on. Put me on the list. I'll save a packet of timtams for Apple wink

OMG..... Now, you ARE a blast from the past ..... How the devil are ya?

Alive and well, despite your best efforts at ... was it the Coventry munch? It was all so long ago.
And wave Shireen! Good to see you again too.

I would have got less time if I had *accidentally* bumped off a couple of you :eeek:

You did your best with me, but it wasn't quitegood enough wink
That reminds me of my first pre-teen exploration. I had a catalogue from an electronics shop, which had cartoon pictures illustrating some of the products. A couple grabbed my curiosity, and I remember tracing over them, trying to see what the woman would look like without clothes. Not very successfully.
Then there was a page torn from dirty magazine that a friend and I found in the dunes at the beach. I was a bit shocked. I had no idea they showed that.

I have always found a strange irony in the fact that with our electoral system the person voted in generally has more people that have voted against him/her than for them!

That's what the voting system the Lib Dems tried to bring in is designed to avoid. It gives people a way to say "I want this person, but if I can't have them, this other one will do". It gives independents and minor parties more of a voice (to the extent that they represent the preferences of the voters), as tactical voting is no longer required. As it is now, a vote for your favourite can effectively become a vote for your last choice.
The danger of direct democracy (the people voting directly on each issue, rather than electing representatives to make the decisions on their behalf) is that people tend to pursue their own interests at the expense of others. I fear that minorities would not fare well in a system like that. The best policy is not the one that benefits me personally, but the one that does best for the country as a whole.

Having BiPolar can be a lonely and frightening place sometimes and this song sums up how having BPD makes me feel at times :wary:

Along similar lines, Bonnie Prince Billy "I See A Darkness". That's a man who understands depression.
There are so many, for many different reasons.
Mogwai "Burn Girl Prom Queen" is one that I keep coming back to. It's guaranteed to calm me down, no matter what's happening in the outside world. It forces me into its pace.
I did the reverse some time ago. Australia is a fantastic place to be a child (if you can stand the heat). But I couldn't go back. I'm too much of a northerner. Give me cold and wet and snow.
If I had to move, I'd probably choose Norway. I've always had the feeling of being home there. After a few days I forget that I don't understand a word of the language.
My guess is that a couple might be looking for the fabled single woman because the female half would like to play with her too.
Otherwise, I'm with you. Pleasure comes from giving pleasure, and for a man, the pleasure given to a woman is doubled when there are two of you delivering it. So I'd prefer MMF simply because I'm greedy. And I'm not sure I'd know what to do with two women. I'd always be worried that one is being neglected.
Since it's such a special occasion... go on, stick me on the list.
It won't be long before it's the 10th anniversary of my stumbling upon this pit of disgraceful filth and lovely people.
The very first example of Non Acceptable Behaviour in the Acceptable Use Policy is
Abusive, aggressive, hateful or racist behaviour towards fellow members, Ops/Mods or Administration staff.

Report it.

It might be a bit of a cliché, but for me it has to be a camera.

'Tis done. No doubt I'll get extremely self-conscious soon and remove it.

"I've got two kids, what do I need to shag him for?".
Erm, because he's your husband? Because he works hard to pay for you and the kids and it might make him happy? Because men need sex to feel loved? Because he'll get it elsewhere if you don't?? Because that's the deal when you're married?

Erm, because it's fun? It shouldn't have to be any kind of duty. It's something that you share. Maybe the women I've been associating with have been highly atypical, but I was under the impression that they enjoy sex too. Does the desire for sex suddenly switch off after children? From what I've read here, I think not.
I've never been married either, and I don't have an answer to your question. I'm concerned that it even needs to be asked.
If it is simply the case of familiarity, then the answer is simple. Make swinging compulsory.
I've done 6 hours on the train many times, but that wasn't what you'd call a 'meet'.
Being single, with no kids, no pets, no attachments, makes travel a lot easier. And I like travelling anyway, so I think my limit would be a fair bit higher than most. If the distance makes it impractical to return home that night, that's what hotels are for. The no kids part does make them easier to afford.
Macika: a six hour trip goes a bit quicker if you exchange some naughty texts along the way. And for the men, that also means the added fun of wondering if the erection will subside before it's time to get off. Failing that, bring a book.

On reflection, I think I should pose with a strategically placed cocktail shaker!

Not a quill and inkpot? Sappho, of course, would be best with with absolutely nothing. You can't improve perfection.

Could you or more importantly would you start afresh in a different region, job permitting etc.

I did, and it was the best decision I've made. I say go for it, although since you've applied for the job, it sounds like you already have.
Three hours isn't really very far, so it isn't hard to visit when you find you do miss people. And it's in the same country (my move wasn't), so there's no new culture to adjust to.
But there'll be new places and new people, and a chance to do something different. It might be just what you need.
It seems like only yesterday that we had one of these threads. That probably means it was three years ago.
Someone mentioned dogging somewhere (don't ask me to remember where - I can't remember my own name half the time). Being the sheltered innocent type, I had to google to find out what it was. The context didn't seem quite right for it to be anything that involved dogs.
And this shameful den of vice turned up.
It's been ages since I've been to anything. Put me down too. Maybe I'll even remember to turn up :-)

Choon, for starters try imagining the eyepiece as a picture frame. Shift around until you get the composition right.....

Very good advice. And while you're doing that, look at everything that's in the frame, not just the subject. It's amazing how much you don't normally notice. Once the photo is taken, everything in the frame becomes part of it, so it's important that it all works together.
Although whilst lying in the middle of the road in Whitby I did get some strange looks! lol

Unusual viewpoints are often good.
And I'll add: look at lots of other people's photos. For the ones you like, ask why you like them. What is it about them that attracts and keeps your attention? And for the ones you don't like, what would you improve?
Also, look for photos all the time, even when you don't have a camera. It's good practice.
I knew should drop in here more often. I do mine the old fashioned way - wet, messy, and in a darkened room.

I missed the other recent photo thread. But the only person I would dare ask to model for me would have refused, so it doesn't really matter...
It makes a tiny difference with a CRT. But who still uses them? On LCD, as the referenced paper says,
the power used to display a white screen is indistinguishable from power used to display the desktop.

That's because LCDs work in a completely different way - the backlight is always on. To display black, the LCD switches on to block the light.
So, my advice is to reduce the amount of power they use running their servers by going straight to Google. It won't make any difference at your end.

In regards to the job you do, are you subconsciously drawn to make comments/criticisms on others work.

So much so that they made it part of my job redface
It's meant in a constructive way, of course. We all want to do the best work we can, so if I see someone doing something they could do better, I'll let them know.
I'd expect them to do the same for me, if my work wasn't completely perfect in every possible way.
