You and hat (and I hope missus moose) just have yourself a good old time wandering around Europe.. and don't concern yourself with the pain and frustration being experienced by Silvertails... people are just posting willy nilly and holding conversations in the non discussion thread ... and you and your ilk don't appear to give a shiite ... if this is symptomatic of the how far the mods have degenerated under Hasler no wonder we are being flogged ..

Pss .. hope you get back to Canada before Putin nucks the place ..

Wow is it safe to walk near that thing?
Was that you recently commenting on how lax the building codes were over there?

It's also upside down as it fell off the tall building behind it!




Ok...I made that up.

Yes... "people" says the ringleader. lol. Now Italy has a new er.... left of centre govt, I'm here on a ST study tour picking up tips and hints on dealing with the unruly. Though hopefully I avoid the fate of their last left of centre guy, Mussolini.

Me too. Though I cheer for the vancouver canucks and they aren't that good so he can nuke the nucks so we are forced to rebuild.

Canada may have to update their D.E.W line (defence early warning) line built waaaaaaaaay up north (which my Dad actually worked on, raising money in his youth, travelling the world in the late 1950's - I think.

I believe we've finally settled that island dispute with Norway, so we know they wont do a sneaky attack if we're beating back the ruskies.

A private showing! How on earth did you swing that one?

Well, my bodyguards were still there, protecting their most valuable asset (the guy that pays their bills).

lol, even I can't buy that.

Truth is (more boring) but there is a tour you can go on where you have a guide and the 'key masters' in your presence.

er...I'll try again. It's called something like the Vatican key masters tour and for two hours (6am to ..well 8am..lol) you walk through the Vatican museums with the people responsible for opening the 2700 (yes 2,700!!!!!) locked doors and windows every day.

Plus...you get to unlock one door personally!
Plus Plus...one lucky bugger gets to unlock the Sistine chapel! (It wasn't me).

Numbers are limited to 20 people so I wasn't alone, I just waited until the others moved on.

It's still 'not allowed' to take pics in there but the guide doesn't care and you just have to get them in before the guard starts work and begins to yell at everyone...lol. Poor guy, every day he starts work annoyed and shaking his head.

It's an amazing tour, you're walking through the galleries in the dark...then they fling the lights on and reveal all their glory.

It was brilliant (both with and without lights..ha)

This is just a quick vid showing our guide's torchlight on the ceiling and then 'click' all the light's coming on.
