Farin Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 when I woke up today, somehow I knew this day would be... different...
Uncle Joe Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 There's no such thing as Dr. Seuss and Mother Goose is no nursery rhyme
Farin Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 Baby, instant soup doesn't really grab me Today I need something more sub-sub-sub-substantial A can of beans or blackeyed peas, some Nescafe and ice, A candy bar, a falling star, or a reading from Doctor Seuss...
lonelyday Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 (edited) I always lived in cities witth no less than 6 million people... I wonder what it would be to live in a peaceful place like those you live in... My whole country doesn't even have 6 million people! I found it really wierd in Spain how most people lived in apartments around the main town centre and pretty much no one lived rurally. I live in Auckland which I'd say would be the most populated city in New Zealand but everything is quite spaced out so we have room to breathe Edited February 12, 2007 by Guest
Farin Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 that's because of the historical development of the cities in the "old world" medieval cities needed to defend themselves, surrounded by walls etc, and once the walls were in place, nobody really wanted to live outiside of them, so of course it was pretty crowded in the cities
Uncle Joe Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 Walls, to keep people in rather than out. Brilliant!
edna Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 I found it really wierd in Spain how most people lived in apartments around the main town centre and pretty much no one lived rurally. There´s lots of people who live in the country, in small villages, in houses around town too... not in the city, sure.
Shawna Posted February 14, 2007 Report Posted February 14, 2007 I've always tried to avoid the city. I know some people who would never live in a country setting, they have to be in the dead center of all the people. I like the solitude of a less crowded environment.
edna Posted February 14, 2007 Report Posted February 14, 2007 I like the solitude in the cities on a Sunday at 8 am... or when there´s a soccer match on TV so there´s nobody on the streets. I love the sound of silence...
The Seeker Posted February 14, 2007 Report Posted February 14, 2007 I like walking through a big city at night, walking past houses and thinking of the unconscious people in there and feeling like I'm the only person still awake.
edna Posted February 14, 2007 Report Posted February 14, 2007 I do that too... And I love to watch the buildings and the windows with the lights on, and imagine how life must be for the people living there... Trouble in Spain is you find so many people on the streets at night... this town barely sleeps...
lonelyday Posted February 14, 2007 Report Posted February 14, 2007 Barely sleeps? Does Madrid ever ever sleep? I'm pretty sure we went out on a Thursday night and it seemed like a Saturday night because so many people were out there. Mind you we were apparently in quite a 'rough' area...and it doesn't seem to me like the Spanish sleep a lot wherever they live.
edna Posted February 15, 2007 Report Posted February 15, 2007 Madrid doesn´t sleep at all, you´re right... and when they sleep they do it in the morning... or a nap after (huge) lunch.
Kevin Posted February 15, 2007 Author Report Posted February 15, 2007 Too sleepy/ drunk to invade England- dorks !
Kevin Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Posted February 16, 2007 Well ,they made such a mess of the last try ... I just thought maybe they'd wanna redeem themselves ... I also think they'd have the element of surprise on their side , as well !
Farin Posted February 16, 2007 Report Posted February 16, 2007 the last try? wasn't that in the 16th century with the Great Armada? well on the other hand that should have given them time enough to work out a good invasion plan
Kevin Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Posted February 16, 2007 NEVER ! - all those monkeys are gold ! - and , you have to keep out the U-boat ( unterseeboaten ) traffic ... ( Ahhh , 'Das Boat' - my favorite war movie ! )
edna Posted February 16, 2007 Report Posted February 16, 2007 Now, this has nothing to do with Gibraltar nor anything like that. I need to hire a killer, a mercenary, I googled but couldn´t find. Do you know where I can find one? or maybe I should post this in the Q&A thread?
Farin Posted February 16, 2007 Report Posted February 16, 2007 actually I had a bookmark of www.hire-a-killer.com but I hadn't used it in years, and the site seems to have vanished... sorry
The Seeker Posted February 16, 2007 Report Posted February 16, 2007 This site should have everything (/everyone) you need: hire a hitman
edna Posted February 16, 2007 Report Posted February 16, 2007 This site should have everything (/everyone) you need: hire a hitman HITMAN is a cruelty-free organization. None of our services have been tested on animals. Thank you, Fin... this looks helpfull...
