Those pictures made me very nostalgic MMB.

Everything in moderation, even moderation.

Well, I'd be about the right age but I don't remember that coat.

And you'd remember a coat like that.

Actually, it looks a bit like my mate Dempsey and he grew up around there. I'll send him the link.

The interesting thing about those old pictures is that that's pretty much what it looks like now.

#16 - I opened that link and was numbed by the uglyness of it. Just awful. Now don't hate me, I'm sure the people are beautiful.

As for Western Europe, erm...no, sorry, I'm going to have to go with Manchester, NH thanks to that link.

Those photos remind me of the story about the man from nearby Wolverhampton who happened to be in new York on 9/11. Next day he went down to Ground Zero when George Bush was doing his tour of the devastation and glad handling the crowd.
Bush comes up to shake his hand asks him where he's from. The man replies "Wolverhampton."
"I don't know that place," says Bush. "What state is it in?"
"The man from Wolverhampton looks around him and replies, "It's pretty mooch loike this real oy."

Bracknell.

It's horrible.

It's lovely that you've all made New Year's resolutions, but I think enough of the year has gone by now that you can probably let them slide.

The 2nd, 3rd, 4th and possibly the 5th photos in Myanmars link @27 are old.
The 2nd is advertising Capstan ciggies on the shop front, 3rd and 4th show Zephyrs perhaps??
Either way, it's a god awfull scene..,.

Brest, France. The city is so ugly that you hardly find any pictures on the internet.

Come to think of it, all of Wales is quite depressing.

I thought Brussels was pretty much shit, with the exception of the justice of palace.

Don't hate me because I am queer. Hate me because I am beautiful.

I hear voices. They don't like you...
