    Ah, that's right, Sint Maarten and that crazy runway, that's definitely worth a visit.

    A related but not very fun fact; "Sint" means angry, in Norwegian, and double A is how you write the letter Å (if you don't have access to a keyboard with that letter) and Å is pronounced like the O in the Scandinavian name 'Morten', and so Sint Maarten sounds very much like "Angry Morten" to a norwegian, and a Dane.

    Yet another reason to visit.

    I'm that generation, too. Well, to be frank, I was 19 when Goldeneye hit the big screen, so I suppose I was already grown up? Although, considering how much I've changed, I guess not..

    I just finished watching that show, and it is in part what made me decide it's about time I explore the Caribbean.

    I've been to southern Florida, and Key West, a couple of times and I suppose I'm looking for more of that feel/vibe.

    Thanks, everyone, for all the advice! I have to say, it's pretty friggin' cool to post a question like this and have so many people chime in :)

    I'll keep you in the loop on where I end up, and what I end up doing!

  • I have all of December off from work, where should I go? I've not yet done any research whatsoever on this, and figured it would be fun to start off by asking you lot. Is December even a good time to visit this part of the world, weatherwise? I'll be traveling alone and I'm not looking for an action packed vacation. Beautiful scenery, tasty drinks and good food will do the trick. Beach vacations aren't normally my thing, but I think that's just what I'm in need of now. Preferably somewhere I'm not in danger of getting robbed and stabbed every waking minute, too. That would be nice. I'll be traveling from Norway, btw.

    Why is he going to a McDonald's to pretend to be working for a couple of minutes, what is that supposed to prove, or disprove? The theatre called politics in the US can be quite baffling.

    Very considerate of you to crop out the eyes. Imagine having a photo of yourself posted online, one where you'd be drooling like that

    I once saw a tiger cub, at a zoo, get entangled in some branches. At first it was just a little annoyed, as it was trying to free itself. It was cute to watch and you'd be forgiven for wishing you could've given it a hand. When it couldn't immediately get itself free it began sneering, released its claws and dug into those branches like a chainsaw, pieces of wood flying everywhere.

    It was impressive to see how much power, and fury, that cute little thing was packing.

    In Scandinavia, in the 80s, I remember we had the moviebox, a little VCR in "suitcase" you could rent.

    From what I remember it only had an RF output, and the picture quality was less than stellar, even for VHS.

    I think he is a very good candidate.. He cares only about himself, and so he lies and cheats. He says he grabs women by the pussy, I like that.

    That woman, apparently.

    Given how the headline ends with a question mark, the answer is no. But it might be a significant part of the package.
