I've always liked the lower reaches of the jungfrau

Don't you find it a bit inaccessable in the winter though?

(and the rest of the year for that matter)

You just need the right equipment, but just be careful not to get lost down one of the crevices...

I've just realised that by next weekend I'll have been in London eight times over the last two months. Eek.

Az · June 29, 2003, 16:21

Is London that bad? maybe I shouldn't go.

Immortal Wombat · June 29, 2003, 16:22

Iain loves London. Every time he leaves, he feels bad.

*End Is Forever* · June 29, 2003, 16:23

Oh **** off.

Az · June 29, 2003, 16:27

sounds like a 'yes' to me.

*End Is Forever* · June 29, 2003, 16:31

London gets me down, but I'm not entirely sure why.

Provost Harrison · June 29, 2003, 16:42

Hull gets me down, London is like a breath of fresh air (albeit not in the literal sense

)

Immortal Wombat · June 29, 2003, 16:44

I know the feeling though - I find most large cities seem to suck the soul out of me and leave me feeling depressed at the state of humanity in an utterly non-specific sense.

Makeo · June 29, 2003, 16:46

I don't like cities at all. They give me a headache.

*End Is Forever* · June 29, 2003, 16:47

You mean you don't feel depressed about the state of humanity normally...?

Immortal Wombat · June 29, 2003, 16:48

heh. Usually there is some vague specificness of each moment. The train journey home from London allows me to reflect on the entirety.

*End Is Forever* · June 29, 2003, 16:49

Yes, I hear you. Usually hits me around Peterborough. Or maybe it's Peterborough that gets me down...

Immortal Wombat · June 29, 2003, 16:49

now this is getting weird. My last three posts have given me the quotes:

Quote:

"Live each moment as if it is your last"

"Live each moment as if it is your last"

"Remember there is an outside world to see and enjoy"

I think the quote database is trying to tell me something...

*End Is Forever* · June 29, 2003, 16:53

"run as far away from London as possible"?

Immortal Wombat · June 29, 2003, 16:55

Could well be.

And I'm certainly not opening that "Chinese ICBM" thread again...

*End Is Forever* · June 29, 2003, 16:56

I have to go back to London a week Saturday. Again. Help.

OneFootInTheGrave · June 29, 2003, 17:05

OK.. so it is 8th than? or is it? so what time and where?

as I didn't pick it up...

Az · June 29, 2003, 17:20

For me, big cities, on the contrary, are refreshing, and exciting.

Provost Harrison · June 29, 2003, 17:22

Same here. I hate my home city. It is perhaps the 'thickest' city in the country and thus I feel like a square peg in a round hole, people think I am some kind of intellectual elitist whereas in other parts of the country (Oxford or London for example) it wouldn't seem anything unusual...

*End Is Forever* · June 29, 2003, 17:26

As I said, you'd fit right in in Hackney or Shadwell...

Az · June 29, 2003, 17:27

For me, I like the rush, the enormous buildings that you have to raise your head so high to see their top. That's why I like Tel-Aviv. with time, it has grown to be quite the city, it's hustle and bustle matching Paris, for example. The only thing it lacks is a Subway.

Ecthy · June 29, 2003, 17:52

any more constructive suggestions as far as my stay in the UK is oncerned?

Heresson · June 29, 2003, 18:02

You're so cruel...

Now spank me!

(sorry, too much stress)
