    I believe the Pergamon is shut for renovation until at least 2020, I managed to by chance visit it a few months before they closed.

    Other than that, thoroughly recommend Berlin. I had 5 days there and left feeling like I could have filled 50 with the amount of stuff to do. Certainly less than 3 full days would be a real struggle.

    Same for me. Had four nights and could easily have doubled it. So glad I made the Pergamon prior to it closing for renovation.

    Good night at the darts tonight, we won 6-3. I won my singles with a couple of tons and then hit a 118 finish in the pairs! Happy days!

    Bah!

    2 is dead easy - Ipswich is a slum on a river, Lowestoft is a slum on the coast, sorted <ok>

    Surely Ipswich is more cess pool than slum? A hovel spewed out from the deep recesses of the dark ages full of wall-eyed misanthropes mumbling shambolically about past glories. A dark place from the imagination of the Grimm's centred around the unholy trinity of charity shops, betting shops and pound shops where the living dead stumble along in the half light that is their lives.

    By some miracle I got 9, the powers of guess work are strong here. You should be able to at least get Ipswich as it's unwashed urchins smell through the monitor!

    Bah!

    Oh, so we have joint names on top of the leader-board. Mind you, even if a City fan got all 10, they'd never admit it on here, Generalissimo, so it's looking like your name and mine jointly on the trophy <ok>

    The last year or so, I've been building such a rage. Is it just me? Or is driving getting worse and worse? The past couple of years, the frequency of me having to break/swerve/honk/accelerate because of total incompetent drivers!

    I'm getting beyond fed up. People drive up to a t-junction and don't slow down. They think they know the road, so just glide onto the road. Even though I'm nearly on them! So I have to slam my breaks on.

    The most common and worse is. Noone seems to stop at a roundabout!! Give way to the right!! Noone does that. Again, they come to the roundabout, you can see they arn't going to slow down or stop. They glide on, right in front of you. I've been on the roundabout regularly, and the other car still enters it. It's one of the things that winds me up more than anything in the world.

    If I drive like a normal person. Going by the road signs and highway code; I'd have had about 20 crashes and been dead by now.

    Glide in front of cars to save about 2 minutes of your journey!?

    For me the worst offence is blatantly driving through a red light when the driver could easily have stopped. The sequence at any set of lights only takes 2 minutes!!!
    And don't get me started on drivers obviously texting/fb etc when in a queue or waiting at traffic lights.

    That's something I forgot!!

    I have to go up to the Thickthorn roundabout. Green-Go, Yellow-Go, Red-Go!

    I scream in my car. I'm sat behind massive lorries going 40 in a 70. Then a car behind me gets in the other lane, then goes through a red!

    That's something that bugs me. Happens a lot where I live. I have to turn right at the lights, as I'm waiting for it to be clear so I can turn the lights are about to turn red when 1 or 2 cars decide to jump the lights while I'm in the middle waiting to turn.

    Also what really bugs me is drivers not using their indicators, it's just pure laziness and drivers that wait for you to get close and pull out in front of you.

    Two things I loathe and detest about drivers.
    Those who refuse or don't think to use any sort of lights during fog, sleet, drizzle, dusk, whatever.
    And those assholes who drive down the road indicating to turn off, so you feel safe cross the road - but they've merely forgot to cancel the ****ing thing from their last manoeuvre <grr>
    Three (3) times I've had narrow squeaks from blue rinsers, mainly, doing that <yikes>

    Another I rage at! I had too many to list, but this is another big one for me!
