Saw the video for The Specials 'Ghost Town' the other day.

Great tune!

Also, Marvin Gaye was on fire with those tracks, Grapevine, What a wonderful world (Don't know much about history...) and of course Sexual healing.

Quality!

Of course, that should read 'global' hub of vitality. ;)

Damn my quick fingers...

London. The glabal hub of vitality. Check.

Paris in the springtime. Check.

Manchester via Virgin Trains. Check.

New York, superhero comic book capital of the world. Check.

Yet to visit the rest...

So the Gunners got their first double in the year of the Growler?

1971. A vintage year indeed!

Salzburg, interesting choice. I spent about an hour there once on the way to a wedding. Did look like quite an interesting place. Never been to York or Durham. Must get out more!

I've visited five of the cities on your list and was most disappointed with Edinburgh. I'd include Salzburg, York and Durham on my list.

Your mission is: At some point during the Christmas season this year watch 'Its a Wonderful Life'.

Oh, and about the movies? Some good stuff in there. I'm probably one of the few who hasn't seen It's a Wonderful Life and Withnail & I.

I can vouch for Goodfellas, Ghost Dog and the Third Man though. The Coolshoes Film Rental service was much appreciated. ;)

Thanks. Just something to do when I'm a bit bored really.

The only good Monday is a bank holiday!

Yeah, we should get an extra day this year for her 80th or maybe an extra 80 days.

Someone once said, if you have a good Monday, that will set you up for the week, if you have a good Friday that will set you up for Monday.

Does it work? Dunno, I'm still trying it out so will get back to you...

Friday's still the best day though. ;)

Of course, us government workers look forward to the Queen's birthday. God bless you ma'am! :)

Thursday's good for me cos that's new comics day when the US imports come in. Marvel, DC, Image it's all good!

And with one fell swoop, Coolshoes is back on the world stage.

Welcome dude, loving the format and looking forward to more.

Great stuff!

I'll have to agree with all that!

Have to add the ol' sweet and sour pork with special fried rice though. Can't beat a bit of Chinese!
