    Shouts out for Rio (i.e. go there in 2013 to miss the crowds in 2014 and 2016), Nicaragua, Puerto Rico and Yucatán in South America and the Carribean.

    Strange there's no mention of anywhere in Argentina again this year...

    Question: when we send the next lot of argie prisoners back in a cruise ship again after they lose the next war, what flag will it have to have to gain entrance to the argie harbours, or should we just dump them out a plane a la junta?

    “Live German Sudetenland!”

    Have these people any clue or sense decency?

    But why anyone would list Houston but leave Austin off the list is beyond me, esp if the NYT are trying to aim for “quirkiness” as seems to be the trend in the list.

    @3 Don't be silly.

    Although there's nowhere on the UK mainland this year either (they did have London, Glasgow, Birmingham and Wales (as a whole) last year though, but once again nowhere in Argentina, even the bits that you've tried invading on occasion).

    @10. Hi Sussie, how is your trailer these days ? Still having trouble with the repo man, or has your welfare cheque come through on time this month ? Hope it has as it would be a good thing to get your cheap jewelry back and have money left over to pay for a family size KFC for your children (all by different fathers in various stages of the criminal system I am told). Most importantly, you cling on to the notion that you are classy, a girl needs to find self-respect where she can.

    @17 Andy

    I wouldn't bother responding to Sussie, except to identify him as “offensive ” and “Off- topic” to the Modetators of Mercopress.

    He is barely smart enough to do his winding up, and likely as truly mentally-ill as we have encountered on here.

    How about agreeing to refrain from profanity and ethnic slurs?
