New York, New York so odd they named it twice.

as for observations... i saw a fair few of these:

surely if they squashed the cans, they'd only need one bag???

In most (all?) US states you can take the cans back to a supermarket and post them in to a vending machine/recycling type deal, and you receive a few cents for each can. If the cans are crushed, the machines can't read the cans bar code.

There can't be many Irish bars in Helsinki, I wonder if it was the same one I went into once! The price of beer there is astonishing! Not in a good way.

You're not looking hard enough

I was expecting to like New York, but I have found it surprisingly boring the several times I have been. A lot of the life has been sucked out of Manhattan by big finance, and the same thing is now happening to Brooklyn. Rio is much more edgy and has more going on. Tokyo is far bgger, more confusing and has better food. I much prefer the west coast cities in the USA, San Francisco in particular.

I've never been to NY, but, @Flying Monkey, I was in Aarhus last week, If I'd have known I'd have let you buy me a beer.

I wasn't looking at all.

I'm in the dog house right now.....not sure what I've done

Me too actually... seems a pity on such a pleasant evening; not going to waste it arguing, so I'm going for a pint

That should resolve the situation.

Fair enough. Just make sure your looking when leaving such an establisment. Walking into the wall/missing the door can be embarrasing!

Are you sure you are Fnaar and not Sidney Smutt?

Last time I was in an "Irish" bar in the US (Miami, not NY) a boy named Luigi blamed me for the potato famine, called me a faggot and threatened me with murder.

I left.

To be fair, this once happened to me in the goose and granite in kilburn.

I get it over breakfast if the wind's wrong.

I am an amalgam of the two

We had a holiday in New York a couple of years ago, I didn't like the place and was glad to board the plane home, I did enjoy the breakfasts though.

Never been to New York but I have eaten jelly babies

Not been to NY, and don't like Jelly Babies...
Sounds fantastic Carl... I'm pleased you're having a fantastic time! One day we'll get there.

Don't forget to give the flight number & departure time of the return flight.
Hope it went ok yesterday/today/the day before on the ride.
