Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

of course tikay

but it should still be possible to be as safe and clean.   and maybe even to timetables.  no??

The London Underground is incredibly safe, & it's very clean, especially given how modern day society discards litter & free newspapers everywhere.

Timetables. All Lines run "every x minutes", & the punctuality & reliability Rates are stunningly high. As with Weather Forecasts in non-temperate climates, Timetables are redundant on LU.

to claim the lu is clean is beyond comprehension

the forth bridge is as good as it gets for me.

Is there any tower in the world that could make the top 7?

Jim,

I spoke to Thewy today, he was on the train to Nottingham from Gatwick, ex his Vegas flight.

I asked him how he had spunked off all those Chips at The Venetian, & congratulated him on his Cash.

"How you know all that?" says G-B.

"Ahh, I have a spy in Vegas" I say.

So he asked what was what with me.

"Oh, this & that, got given a free air ticket to Vegas, gonna have a jollie there later in the year, spend some time shirt-tailing Jim".

"Yes, I know, I have a Spy in Vegas" says he.

He's intolerable.

Not that I can think off, tall buildings don't do much for me. Impressive, yes, but the difference between a 50 story building & a 100 storey building is just that - 50 more, usually identical, floors.

I thnk my favourite tall building is the Main Tower (?) in Frankfurt. Very impressive, & totally functional.

The Swiss-Re deserves consideration - not tall, but totally original. And Selfridges in Birmingham is unique. But not on a world-scale really.

Eiffel Tower, maybe, now that's a bit tidy, even Blackpool Tower is some lump of sticky-upness.

I'm thinking better, not bigger.

Nope. Chatsworth impresses me more - because it's set so well in the landscape.

The Winter Palace in St Petersburg - that may get a Nomination. They got the sheer scale "just so".

I'd like to, but I'm holding off. There's a lot of World to cover yet.

But it'll probably get the nod. Maybe.

We not looked at that big Dam in China yet. Or the Alaska Oil Pipeline.
