As a London boy, im saying London.

New York is a close second because there is a great feel to the place.

Booo

First gripe is the choice is far too limited I just had to pick one to get it over an done with. I mean we all know Dublin outstrips the rest of those holes by miles what with its clean streets and abundance of wonderful people (in case you hadn't figured that sentiment was dripping with sarcasm). Seriously though if any of you have seen the city of Luzern in Switzerland you wouldn't be caught dead picking the above.

I've been to about half of the cities listed and I have to say that Moscow is by far the prettiest. I was there during winter and it was facinating.

I live in Vancouver, too, but I think this place is overrrated, overcrowded, and overpriced.

Many of the people here also have a really bad case of the "world-class wannabe" complex.

In a true "world-class city," the people don't care whether anybody else in the world thinks they're world-class or not.

I sometimes think you could get a typical Vancouverite to sell his own daughters, if only you tell it will make him more "world class."

I once remember someone even driving his guests through our Downtown Eastside, so that he could show them the "real hardcore junkies that give our city a bit of an mean edge."

You know your city has "made it to the bigs" when you have that edge.

Ok, good husband and father went and patch up the hole. Tape it up and put a fresh coat of drywall mud on it and sand it back down. Good husband and father got out the old paint chips that we (read she) decided to paint it on.

Only trouble is after 4 years, the sun has faded the colours and the new paint don't match ... and whose fault is that? Mine. I should have known about the fade and adjusted it accordiningly. Just how the hell do you adjust for fade?

Ok, good husband and father got an extremely simple solution. I'll just paint the room white.

Good husband and father is apparently an idiot. White somehow ain't a colour.
Do it very very verrrry light Grey then
