I am often amazed that Luton is described as boring. There are pubs to fight in, slappers to shag, one often sees the many bonfires as the stolen cars are ignited. The muggers make life interesting, as do the pimps and girls. Then there is the usual social unrest and occasional riots. Far from boring.

And goals galore last night.

cba with clicking next to go through a load of pictures - they should have a text list somewhere that can be glanced at quickly :-/ those things annoy me almost as much as the increased number of videos for news articles

List[^] I've never been to Vegas but can imagine it being as described. Although I would not even think of going there for a vacation longer than one day unless I wanted to play poker. The last time I visited Stone Henge there was no visitor infrastructure, you could simply walk up to the henge, touch the stones or sit on them if you wanted to. I found it a strangely haunting place. Unless you are a Geologist, Archeologist or similar, though, I would find it hard to imagine a visit of more than about an hour remaining interesting. I have been to Paris many times. I had no problems with queues at the Louvre itself nor in viewing The Mona Lisa. However, in my many visits I have never had the patience to endure the wait for the Eiffel Tower. Totally agree with the Madame Tussauds or any wax-works, for that matter. Anyone any experience of the other attractions, particularly times to visit to avoid queues.

Totally agree on Bondi Beach. It's famous for being famous, but isn't that great a beach.

I agree with you that the queues for the Eiffel Tower are ridiculously long. I have often been there and said to myself: "Nah, I won't bother today". But on the occasions when I have taken the times to wait in line, I must say that I think the view from the tower is unbeatable. And I think that it is a must for first time visitors to Paris. I voted for the Eiffel tower in the "new 7 wonders of the world"[^] "competition", but unluckily it didn't place... However, if you can do with a little less, I can also recommend the view from the Sacre Coeur!
Went 2 weeks ago they now have tickets you purchase online for a timeslot so queues were not very large. Although there is another queue on the second level to go right to the top! Cool thing was you did not need to print out tickets could just scan barcode from iPhone.
