As of actual cities, I'd love to visit Cambridge and York. Cambridge not so much, but York really attracts me, too. It has an interesting history, and according to the pictures I've seen, it has some very nice spots.
But what I can't stand is people talking about the private life of someone else online. And I don't care if that other person is an actor, a family member or the ex-boyfriend/girlfriend they want to get back at for dumping them. I also don't care how mean they've been. You just don't do it. Basically, I agree with you, but sometimes you have to vent about real life things (especially if you have - like me - no real life friends anymore). But something like that should definitely be friends locked, and it would be best to avoid names. It certainly doesn't belong in an open message board or something like that. I've seen that several times at the GH, sometimes so explicit that I wondered if those people were still in their right mind. Celebrity gossip is something I've never understood. That's mostly due to the fact that I don't care about the actor behind a role. I'm only interested in their work; their private lives belongs to them, no one else.
@time travel: I'd prefer to travel to the past as well (Renaissance and 19th century). To be honest, I really don't want to know where we're heading.
You're right, I don't know "Song of Ice and Fire", and I wouldn't read it, not even at gunpoint, but that was a risk I had to take when I asked that question.

Thanks for satisfying my curiosity. :o)
