^ Steph, your avatar is full of so much white-hawt WIN I can hardly contain myself...

Cork has been named, alongside Abu Dhabi, Charleston, Cuenca, Istanbul, Kyoto, Lecce, Sarajevo, Singapore and Vancouver, as one of Lonely Planet's Top Ten Cities in the World for 2010.

I'm astounded, to say the least!

I had to Google Cuenca to find out where it is. Never been there. Or Lecce or Charleston, but at least I know where they are.

Where is that from, anyway? Uncle Pat's fireside chats?

It's actually the fireside blowjob scene from Patton's Pornos, which was directed by Rowley Birkin Q.C.

Angles aren't the best because at the time he was very, very drunk.

But I like Leechy's explanation better.

Y'know, I was going to mention Rowley Birkin Q.C. but felt our colleagues in the former colonies would feel excluded.

I just got another one of these in my mail, I haven't ordered it and haven't paid. Rockabilia are awesome.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Hendriiiiiiiiiiiicks..........

What I've always thought of Lonely Planet is that it's a pompous load of crap which makes people feel like their holidays are unfulfilling unless they trek for days through nettles in the Mozabawi underlands because the tribespeople want to mutilate their genitals or failing that, you at least have a cultured stroll through Gibenhiben while listening to the omnipresent strains of Bach that are organically produced there because the soil is treated with marmalade. Otherwise, your holiday has been a waste of your stupid life (relevant reading: "100 Places to See BEFORE YOU DIE, BECAUSE YOU INEVITABLY WILL DIE, AND THIS HOLIDAY PLANNING GUIDE EXPLICITLY STATES IT BECAUSE IT IS OF EXCEPTIONAL IMPORTANCE TO HOLIDAY PLANNING PURSUITS").

Don't come to Cork unless you want to ring a bell in a church up a really steep hill that has a fish on top of it for no apparent reason, experience the stink of sewage around our primary shopping region, go to a place that makes Wooly jumpers or see a film in the only "alternative" cinema in this shithole of a country OH NO WAIT because they're closing that down, destroying the only remaining piece of culture in the entire county. Pah.

Awesome is: I'm in a great mood. Genuinely! Happy Orly because of philosophy lecture praise. Makes me feel awesome and smart and stuffs.

What I've always thought of Lonely Planet is that it is encouraging people to try new things and not just lie in the sun at the beach for a week. What's the point in doing that in another country when you can do it in your backyard? Of course some form of elitism is always around but generally I think their message is pretty good.

Got my mode of transport back. Sucky 5 days without it...

Also made really good progress on one of my college essay today. So far I've managed to entirely ignore their selected reading, which means I'm doing well.
