Yup, Rome is over rated just like Paris, lot of smaller towns are far better than the capitals

Copenhagen is an excellent place for a weekend
Amsterdam too
Berlin

Everyone gets robbed in Barcelona

The hospitality is overpriced and overrated but the archeological stuff is fantastic - the pantheon, forum, coliseum, catacombs are only the start of it. Vatican museum is superb too. Everybody should go.

Agree on the culchur being good and you comment about price and grub.

As Russ says Copenhagen is good, but don't waste time going to look at Little Mermaid

Watching asian men fall in the water at the mermaid is top sport

this is brilliant, not only is it no help at all to Trousers, who totally tried to shanghai the thread for sh1ts and giggles, but it's become clear that most of us spend more time reading uafc, than anything else. We're so enlightened

Mainly read fantasy novels these days but did pre-order the new Jack Reacher yesterday.

I'm a big Jack Reacher fan. I'd need to get back in to them as I now see there's 21 books.

You should try the Charlie Parker series by John Connolly. He's an Irish author. His stuff is a bit darker than the Reacher stuff.

Oh and Harry Bosch series by Michael Connolly.

I love Reacher. I've been a Kindle convert in recent years but I still buy Reacher in paperback (or hardback as the last one was and the next one is).

Will definitely give your recommendation a try, sounds good!

It's worth traveling all that way to a container port, just to be amazed at how little it really is.

Or you could just wander around Christiania and soak up the 'atmosphere'.

Have to say Damo, I too am a fan of both Connolly & Connelly's books. When I saw the Bosch dramas on Netflix/Amazon, can't remember which, Titus Welliver didn't "look" like the Harry Bosch I've been reading about for a couple of decades, but I've got used him and they do the books a reasonable amount of justice.

I'd always "seen" Bosch in my head a bit more like Joe Pesci in My Cousin Vinny, the greatest movie ever made.

I've always wanted to introduce a few homophobes to Charlie Parker's two gay friends, Louis and Angel, then I remember the word "fiction".

It got shut down

East of Eden.

'Nine Stories' (nine short stories, naturally) by JD Salinger. Outside of Catcher in the Rye - which is excellent, don't get me wrong - he's actually very witty.
