h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I _really_ need to go see the Eden Project some time. Only problem is it's so out-of-the-way from my normal routes.

no no NO!
Haven't been to any of these sodding places, so I'll set a couple of mine;

1) Under Palace Pier in Brighton
2) The rock formation that's famous for looking like female genitalia (even though I can't really see THAT much of a resemblance) on Koh Samui in Thailand.

The North bank end of the Millenium Bridge in London.

The top of the stairs at Union Station, Chicago which was the scene of that bit in the Untouchables when Kevin Costner was freaking out about the pram 3 times this week.

Are we talking about places we've done the deed or have I just got a really dirty mind...?

No, and yes.. If I'd done it on the steps of Union three times this week, I would have been a) arrested and b) a whole lot luckier than I am

It's just wierd places you've been to.

A circular courtyard bit hidden in the bushes in Battersea Park, behind the Buddha...

Like the Snake Temple, Penang. Full of live snakes, the incense is supposed to make them docile.

"supposed to"?
You first, yeah, Caerwynn?

Yes to Wookey hole - what a great place.

A roman tin mine near Pontypridd.
The top of the Monument in London.

It appears I'm the only one here who's been to St Botolphs to leer at the netball players

Liam.

Never the top but walk past Monument

The Grand Harbour, Valleta, Malta.

Snakes are actually quite nice to touch, warm and smooth

Checkpoint Charlie, Berlin.

Now that the two halves of the city have been reunited, I don't know if it still exists, perhaps someone would let me know.

Malta is on my list of places to visit.

I've been through the cpoy of checkpoint charlie at granada studios tours...my sis just got back from birlin and my mum waffled about checkpoint charlie last night but I wasn't really paying much attention

Checkpoint Charlie is still there - I've been past it. Not had the guts to go inside though. I dont think Id want to really...

I've seen it with and without walls next to it.

I have to say that I like the way that Berlin did put cobbles where the wall was. Its quite moving to have a constant reminder...

Been past the Eden project in the car.
Been under the pier at Brighton. Had a p**s there too.
Millennium bridge yes.
Top of the monument yes.

The award winning lavatories at Covent Garden?

Yes to Wookey Hole, Blue John Mines, Checkpoint Charlie and the escalators leading to the basement in Tesco Metro in Manchester.

Anybody been to the gents' toilet in Kilchoan on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula in Scotland? If so, sorry about the whiff, I wasn't feeling too well.

And while I'm on the edges of the British Isles, how about the little bay below the Pilots' Cottages on Ynys Llanddwyn in Anglesey?

Yep, to Satrosphere, Lochnagar and Checkpoint Charlie (sans wall) too.

Anyone for:

the bothie at the top of Glen (not Ben) Nevis,

the nuclear bunker in the centre of Berlin,

Tarfside phone box

and

the little park in Levens?

Yes to:
Mona Lisa + countless Japanese tourists
Electric Brae, Maybole
Arthurs Seat
Eden Project

Anyone been to the fossilised trees in Victoria Park, Glasgow?
