    Don't get beaten up by muggers.

    My travel advice is becoming legendary.

    It's a fantastic city

    but you're struggling with only half a day.

    Would probably recommend a trip to see the remnants of the wall, and "Haus am Checkpoint Charlie" which is a museum at Checkpoint Charlie, commemorating the history of the divided city, and numerous far-fetched defection plots.

    Shopping is good near the main train station at "ZooGarten".

    My favourite city

    Ever. Half a day just not enough unfortunately. I'm not a night clubber but I had the best night of my life dancing away into the wee small hours in Berlin so enjoy friday night by visiting the seedy side of the city.  The atmosphere is like nowhere else on earth.  They call it &quot;Berlinerluft&quot;.  FACT.

    I love Berlin too.

    "Take my breath away" and all that.
    Tom Cruise eh - you would, wouldn't you?

    Kinell fire.
    I've just scraped the bottom out of the barrel.

    Sorry.

    RE: My favourite city

    You've been to everywhere else on earth then? I for one don't believe you.

    Anyway, I've never been to see Berlin, but their single was irritating to say the least.

    I'll take that.

    Yes.

    It's a 44 gallon one ... I think Terry Nutkins must have dealt with it.

    No sneaking a feel at my buns though.

    Good point.

    There's an accident on the M1 north at junction 16 - so that would've held your post up for a while.

    Although mine got stuck due to a burst water main - so I think we're even.

    I'm going to buy a comedy Gibbon.
    I wonder what type of premium you have to pay versus a bog standard Gibbon?

    RE: Good point.

    Best option is to buy a bog standard Gibbon and put it on roller skates.

    Will that work?

    I was thinking of buying a sub-standard Gibbon & sending it round to see Gaz.
    Then I'd end up with a sub-standard Gibbon with blue alcopop down it's front & manfat down it's back.

    There are cheap, counterfeit Gibbons (dole monkeys) on Wombwell market - but they look quite depressed, not funny.
    I might still buy one of those & put itching powder in it's pants.
