London most expensive, dirty city in Europe: survey Wed Mar 12, 12:21 PM ET LONDON (AFP) - London is the dirtiest and most expensive city in Europe, while Brussels is the most boring, according to a British survey published on Wednesday. ADVERTISEMENT London edged out Paris for the unwanted accolade of dirtiest city in the survey of more than 1,100 travellers carried out by TripAdvisor. Respondents said Paris was the most unfriendly, followed by London and Moscow, but the French capital is still working its old magic as it was voted the most romantic destination in Europe and the best for shopping and dining. London won out for having the best nightlife and public parks. The cleanest city is Zurich, the survey said, although the tidy Swiss city also finished equal second behind EU hub Brussels as the most boring place. Prague was elected the best bargain city, followed by Budapest and Lisbon. Despite the weak dollar, half of the Americans surveyed said they planned to visit Europe this year, the same number as last year. Here is the a rundown of the top three in various categories: Best bargain city: 1. Prague 2. Budapest 3. Lisbon. Most expensive: 1. London 2. Paris 3. Rome, Venice, Oslo, Moscow (tied) Most friendly locals: 1. Dublin 2. Amsterdam 3. London. Most unfriendly locals: 1. Paris 2. London 3. Moscow. Best cuisine: 1. Paris 2. Rome 3. Florence. Best shopping: 1. Paris 2. London 3. Rome. Best nightlife: 1. London 2. Amsterdam 3. Paris. Best parks: 1. London 2. Paris 3. Barcelona, Amsterdam, Copenhagen (tied). Most romantic: 1. Paris 2. Venice 3. Rome. Most attractive locals: 1. Rome 2. Paris 3. Stockholm. Cleanest: 1. Zurich 2. Copenhagen 3. Stockholm. Dirtiest: 1. London 2. Paris 3. Rome, Athens (tied). Most boring: 1. Brussels 2. Zurich, Oslo, Warsaw, Zagreb (tied). Well least you are not #1 for boredom so cheer up!. Funny that you English insult the Irish, but they are #1 for being the most friendly locals to visit while in Dublin. tigertony

Herald12345    Actually its quite good, cretin.   3/14/2008 7:44:46 AM
Just because you don't have a sense of humor, to make up for your lack of intelligence?

Not may fault.

In case you missed it from the  thread, you cut and paste cretin....

Antiquis temporibus, nati tibi similes in rupibus ventosissimis exponebantur ad necem

By the way, clown why don't you confine your inanity to the US board? Why do you have to spread the  notion that there are Americans as dumb as you  around this globe?

   And they all speak English,but not your Kings!. And why? Because they are all here in Pa,USA, not in France,Germany,Greece, Ireland,or the the United Kingdom!.



 



  So the moral is? That is all that matters to me!.

 



...not a-bloody-gain. Tony we have a Queen right now, not a king... so it's the queen's english... oh bugger it I can't be bothered.



 



secondly... i was thinking exactly what Brit Lion was with the whole most friendly/unfriendly thing.



 



thirdly: nightlife? since when were slappers muggers and yobos good? times must really have changed






  Well now Bob when those towns and cities where being made it was indeed your Kings English!. You should try reading some American and Red Coat history. And try looking at a map of PA!. Oh and i forgot Moscow as well. And Bob i meant Edinboro,not Edinburgh.

    And Bob, you sure do get mugged alot, as has already been discussed in a previous post,lol!. You really should try taking some self defence courses and perhaps you will not be slapped or mugged so often. Well just trying to help Bob.

 

 

                                                                                tigertony


ah, i now see my mistake, they are all the places in Pa, not wherever as you pointed out. i apologise for my cultural insensitivity.
what does concern me is your fixation with me having been mugged... it confuses me, however, if that's what rocks your boat, fine by me. I suggest you try wandering home in the streets of england's cities at rather odd hours in the morning and see if you don't make it safe every time. and you seem to misunderstand the concept of mugging [after i so heavily stressed this to yourself and some other person], they creep up behind you and knock you out [be it with bottle/pipe/whatever] please explain to be how being well versed in the ways of self defense is of use when you are unconcious on the ground?
 
...and slapper refers to a prostitute, not someone that you willingly allow to slap you.

    Herald i am still waiting for your English translation of that Latin which i cut and paste. And i can recite every verse of Revelations backwards or forwards in English. Now since i have a job i dont have the time to write down every verse in Latin at 7:00 AM!. Again, instead of talking smack about others, and hiding behind a computer screen, get some real balls and i will recite all of Revelations in English and Latin to your krusty clown face!
    Now as for posting on other boards besides the US one?   Well 1st this is an American site,and i am an American. Second, i would suggest you refrain from posting on other boards and making blank statements that you obviously know nothing about such as this below from the Australia board:
 
  How about something they can own?

If you give a man a fish. he eats.

But if you teach him how to run a fishing cannery and open up to him a line of credit where he can buy a fishing boat and open up said cannery, not only will he eat fish but he will catch fish, process fish, and employ many people outside his family in his cannery.

Its stupid, and it works.

RESCUE NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN HERITAGE

Native Americanhttp://www.charityguide.org/images/makeadifference/native-american.jpg" width=175 align=right> http://www.charityguide.org/images/common/subhead-the-challenge.gif" width=109>

Native American Indian heritage is rich in tradition and culture unique to the legacy of our country. But many Native American tribal members living on Indian reservations are struggling with a different legacy. More than 300,000 Native Americans are either homeless or living in life-threatening conditions. American Indians are faced with a suicide rate double that of all other nonwhites, and higher levels of school dropouts, alcoholism and unemployment (45% average, with 82% on the Rosebud Reservation). Because many Native American reservations are located in isolated areas, much of the housing on Indian reservations lack electricity and running water.

With the reported success of Indian gaming, it might be hard to believe that nearly 50% of all American Indian families currently live below the poverty line. Native Indian tribes are individual sovereign nations and have always been responsible for the needs of their people, regardless of tribal income. There are 562 federally recognized Indian tribes, and only about half operate any type of gaming business. It is just a handful of the smaller Indian tribes, like

I don't conform to your demands. You conform  to mine.

Now that you understand this, confine your limited intellect to that which you are qualified to understand which is superstition in general and black helicopter kookery in particular..

   Wow Herald, you sound more like a short guy from Germany, then an American who lives in Freedom!.
 
   And as for who actually conforms to who? Well now unless you can give me a real answer to any of the above questions it is just the opposite of what you think!.
 
  Now why is it you who should think about conforming to mine? Well because your hourglass has already been turned, and they wait for you, and your superior intellect, on the otherside with a smile!.
 
  Now as for Revelations and kookery? Well now Herald it is people like you,not me,who have already helped bring it to us all. So feel proud and pat yourself on the back.
 
  If i were you i would be spending all my spare time coming up with even one answer to those real questions asked.
 
  And Herald i will continue to post anything i wish about you or Revelations and God because i am trying to save men,not be the destroyer of worlds. That job was left to people like yourself and Satan.
 
  Real truth about people like you is that you may think you have the superior intellect, but you as a man, do not have the wisdom to use it!. And countless wars including 2 World Wars will prove me right.
 
  Now me, i have no fear, but i bet the thing you fear most is death. Now i wonder why that is? Well my guess would be that the hourglass will run its last sand and your science will still not save you!

I was in Ireland in 1970. I really liked it there. Since then, I have visited the Continent three times.
 
Although my ancestry is English, I have no use for them at all and I never want to visit Britain. I have met enough English outside of the UK.

I always crack a smile at your put downs Herald.

   Herald i am actually trying to help you,not insult you.
    And Herald if i did not really think you were worth helping i would not bother at all.
 
    Now here is just something about me and why i am confident about my view of life and death.
 
     I was never one to believe in God or Ghosts most of my life till about 15 years ago.
 
    But then my mother commited suicide and all that has changed. My father,brothers,and my sister all know that we saw my mother,and all at the same time!. Now my dad was never one to buy into ghosts, but ask him today if he believes.
 
   And as for George Carlin? Well funny that i saw him a few years back at the State Theater, and asked him the same 6 questions i asked you while getting an autograph,now what did i get from George? Escorted out of the theater, and 0 for an answer!. And what did George get from me? $50 plus tax!
 
   And as for insulting my intelligence? Well you do know that i actually held a Top Secret clearance since i had to handle Naval Communications. And i suppose having to type 60 encoded words a minute is something the village idiot can do?
 
   Now why could i care less anymore about such petty things as having a secret clearance or typing? Because i now have the wisdom to know what really will matter in the end!.
