The Spire should have won.

That thread was a great read. Fair play to all involved

I’ll think about running the World Tour edition in late November/December and take nominations throughout next month

Deadly. Thanks Omackeral, looking forward to it already.

I won't be able to contribute with any nominations because I'm not well travelled, but I'll be there for the main event as acting cheerleader:pac:

I'm not well travelled either.

Nothing stopping you nominating the likes of the Pyramids, Mount Everest, Machu Pichu, Eiffel Tower etc.!

OK so I might nominate places purely on me liking THE LOOK of them rather than having ever been to them:P

Actually I have been the Eiffel Tower, & stood in a corner in the souvenir shop while the rest of the group walked round it:D

Though I was going to puke my ring. Never again!

Its a lot more exposed than I realised. That's the whole point I suppose. Don't know what I was expecting:rolleyes:

Same views of Paris from Montmartre or Belleville with a lot less hassle and more wine.

Im not sure about that tower either.
I think I'll just stick to walking the streets, smelling the air & looking at all the handsome French men
