I've been to Waihiki for what it's worth.

Plejades? As in Purple Plejade? Isn't a ferocious acid techno track by Thoma Heckmann on DJax?

I've always wanted to go to Wide Open Dykes in Wales and Fucking in Austria.

I always wanted to go to Barcelona but I went this year. My next dream destination is Detroit. Perhaps next year.

Fiji and Tahiti sound lovely and Tristan Da Cunha sounds cool too.

When I was younger I always wanted to go to 'Salmon Pastures' in Sheffield, which conjures up images of countryside & quaffing endless amounts of ginger beer by a river......
When you get there- there's about 5 burnt out cars & loads of syringes
How names can be very misleading.

[Andreas]

reykjavik, yeah iceland must be beautiful

[wheezer]

utsjoki kevo, but mostly just so I can use the name - it's fucking cold there

[Lady E]

isnt auchtermuchty where the proclaimers were from?

i believe so...

i love the proclaimers

Worms fact: isnt this where martin luther (the leader of the lutheran church) pinned some reformations of the protestant church to some church door, which was known as 'the diet of worms'?

history class flashback...gonna check it in the enclyclopedia of religion

[Lady E]

almost right
he was at a conference in worms called 'the diet of worms'
it was 1521

everyone didnt like his reforms and they condemned him in 'the edict of worms'

fascinating stuff.

We went to Iceland the week London topped 100'F as luck would have it, and I can confirm it is very beautiful. Some of the landscapes are reminiscent of Jupiter's moons. The glaciers and moss-covered lava flows particularly. Sometimes they are covered in ash and the sun melts only where the ash is thinnest, washing away the soot in most places and leaving cones of black soot like pyramids on the blue tinged ice... it really is breathtakingly beautiful.

when did you go there?

[bitch one]

auchtermuchty is in fife, where i am from. other funny fife names- cardenden, cowdenbeath, lundin links, puddledub, upper largo, star, ceres, strathmiglo, kingskettle, freuchie, pitscottie etc etc. i could go on forever with silly fife names.

[Goonie]

I'm really jealous you get to say "I'm from Auchtermuchty" do you really pronounce the auCCCHHHterrrrrmuCCCHHHty like you are about to spit on them?

[bitch one]

im not from muchty, just fife.

the scottish 'ch' sound should be very soft, like the sound drizzle makes as it falls against a window.

I've been to Alaska, and I can absolutely recommend it. I took a ferry in the US along the coastline with juneau as the final destination. It took us about five days to get there, with various stops in between. It's perfect for hiking, especially in the summer and the landscape is just amazing. Very rough and untamed.

I have not visited them personally though they are known for being icy (europa, ganymede, callisto) and Io is volcanic.

No, I didn't.
I remember seeing a few buildings/churches connected to the reformation (& Martin Luther) & then just remember half litres of wine being served, & loads of sickness & diarrhoea.
One of the English guys who I knew over there was really into the reformation & the reformation lands in Germany- unfortunately I didn't share quite the same level of enthusiasm & had to try & bullshit a little bit to make it look like I'd taken in loads.
IT'S RELIGION, IT'S DANGEROUS.

We got flights for £150 from London so not too expensive.

Definitely plan to go... spring or autumn would be best as you can see the northern lights then as well. I really want to see that while sitting in a geo-thermal pool :)
