Nev is clearly demonstrating that it is possible to tote all of one’s summer needs in any bag from the Sainsbury line.

The Taj Mahal was lagging behind with 0.8% of the votes with a month to go, before a big promotional push gave this populous nation a representitive in the top 7. Rio likewise had heavy promotion, and the locals were encouraged to vote via free text messages. UNESCO has distanced itself from the list with unusually strong language from a public body.<BR/><BR/>Overall though, the list is ok, but I would certainly swap the Taj Mahal and the Cristo Redentor for Angkor Wat and either Easter Island or the Eiffel Tower. I agree that Lady Liberty is let down by film hype, though I still quite liked it.Nev 360https://www.blogger.com/profile/09188351364871427642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7755761749107649177.post-59952422914453815322007-09-08T04:05:00.000+00:002007-09-08T04:05:00.000+00:00PS: Why the plastic bag at the pyramid?PS: Why the plastic bag at the pyramid?Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01229324352456935863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7755761749107649177.post-74901262127828939412007-09-08T04:04:00.000+00:002007-09-08T04:04:00.000+00:00Very nice post.

I cannot understand how the movies make her appear so large when, in actuality, she is incredibly puny. <BR/><BR/>If you are going to get your Market St. flat as one of the (future) wonders, you have to do considerably more advertising. I suggest that you not only make it a tourist destination, but that you get it placed in some movies so that it is instantly recognizable. <BR/><BR/>Nasal Americans? Which part were they from, or do you find all Americans nasally?Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01229324352456935863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7755761749107649177.post-42290620194854750492007-09-07T08:28:00.000+00:002007-09-07T08:28:00.000+00:00Nice post.We've had this conversation already, so ...Nice post.<BR/><BR/>We've had this conversation already, so I'm not going to have it with you again. Suffice to say that the big-ass Jesus is not a wonder, and I'm not sure that Liberty is either, because she is so small compared to what you expect.<BR/><BR/>And by the way, an appreciation of Nigella is the sign of a decent person.swishfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05056045066645931539noreply@blogger.com
