I did a six week roadtrip around the south, Nashville to New Orleans, then up the east coast via DC to NY, and I honestly think the thing about America is that the touristy bits are overblown and a bit horrid. Did Cape Kennedy, and I also went to Universal Studios last easter, and not only was it fucking expensive, but Americans are the worst tourists in the world, even in their own bloody country... One of the standout moments on the roadtrip for me was pulling into a random town, on one of the back roads down the mississipi, that we wouldn't have stopped in if it hadn't shared my name, having lunch in a diner and ending up trying to teach the westcountry accent to about 12 friendly locals.
Anyway, Vegas should still be awesome. Enjoy yourself batch.
P.S. - In Bruges was on last week and I'd honestly forgotten how fucking great it was.
I was in the south and the people are remarkably friendly and genuinely so - I was very skeptical about southerners but aside from their attempts to take me to a shooting range, it was the most hospitable experience I've ever had By comparison Norwegians are absolute cunts |

One of the all time classic comedies I would say |

Cool! Been before?
yeah, went for new year's eve a few years back. had a great time, this year we are celebrating a load of 30th birthdays 8 going from the uk, meeting 4 friends from new york out there to so its going to get messy  i always remember about 6 months before i went a work colleague went for a conference out there - when he came back i asked him how his trip was and he said "the whole place is really tacky and over the top, i hated it" at that point i knew i'd enjoy it! the thing about vegas is you don't have to drink or gamble to make a trip of it, it probably helps but there is quite a bit to do. hoover damn is impressive as is the grand canyon...its one of things you see and just think fuck thats a great big hole in the ground, its an amazing sight |

Corvids are sneaky bastards. Secrets of WWII, which I'm watching now, makes me happy. Almost as good as World at War as far as documentaries go. |

You found a town called Honkytonk! Where is it? |

Wow! That's from centre spot to back of the net in an average of just over two minutes throughout the entire game. They can't have kept possession from the kick off for more than a couple of passes each time. |
