Maybe only reply about places that you have been to on holiday or leisure time - not places where you have had to go to for work or other boring reasons

Dublin: everyone was raving about the place before I went there - I found it dirty, bland, f**king expensive (more than London at the time, although their depression has probably sorted that out) and the people were up themselves. Rest of Ireland great, Dublin shite

Manchester - a horrible place. Nice, friendly women but most of the blokes were wankers

Auckland - don't get the appeal at all

Movie World on the Gold Coast. Walked round and thought we had taken a wrong turn and missed most of it. We hadn't.

I'm not a big fan of theme parks - even the real one's in the US

Went to Universal Studios in LA which was okay but I wouldn't rave about it

Too crowded, expensive, overrated

Bondi Beach, most over rated place I've seen and been and will never go back.

Oh and Swindon

Overseas I spent a week at Playa Flamenca near Torrevija, I must go back to Spain to undo the unpallatable taste this bland non Spanish feeling resort left branded into my mind. I couldnt find one Spanish restaurant !!!

Well there used to be one, just one though, and it wasn't in the beach area or the shopping centre. We had a nice meal there.

Sofia, Bulgaria - I would be happy never to visit there again. There is no other place that I have such a negative view towards - and that includes pretty much the whole of Queensland.

Brisbane- boring, boring............

Quilpie - to say it mines some of the world's best opals you would never know. Why don't the powers that be in Government capitalise on what we have and build a museum that highlights mining etc. Or at least displays some opals in an attractive way.

Charleville- a cultural wasteland. Why is all the money spent on Brisbane and the coast while these outback towns are deprived of basic necessities ?
